I’m a local elected official in the American Midwest trying to help save democracy and do right by my fellow humans in my small corner of a destabilized nation.

I’m still not over the fact that 1,500 traitors were pardoned in January and the whole Republican Party applauded. I’ll never get over this. For me, it’s the moment the United States was lost. In the civil war to come, that was the first shot.
For starters, she never would have pardoned 1,500 traitors or depicted herself in an AI video shitting on Americans.
Just think about what would be happening in the US right now if Kamala had been elected.

Reminder: No one elected Stephen Miller, so he should not have so much power over Trump, Noem and Hegseth.
Kristi Noem says everything she has done has been at the direction of Trump or Stephen Miller
Sounds a lot like "I was just following orders" to me.
The Nazi metaphors just write themselves

Stephen Miller Left Out of Key White House Meeting With Kristi Noem
President Trump held a two-hour-long meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—and several others. Nowhere in sight was the man who has helped shape the White House’s immigration strategy.

American blood is all over your hands, Republicans. You did this to America, a one-great nation now stained with your lust for power.

More proof that Republicans don't give a rat's ass about veterans. They would rather gun down veteran advocates in the street -- and then celebrate the murder -- than admit they were totally wrong to support a madman in the presidency.
Alex Pretti spent his days caring for veterans as an ICU nurse at the VA.
From a veteran he cared for: “He treated every vet like they were his only patient. … He wanted to make a difference.”

Republicans are coming for our guns. Where's our militia to fight this tyranny?
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

It may soon be time for patriotic Americans to take the government into their own hands.
This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

If the U.S. was watching another country implode the way America is imploding right now, it would be sending the CIA in to begin a regime change operation to stabilize the region.

When Democrats retake the House, they should vote to impeach Trump, Hegseth and Noem by Feb. 1, 2027. They need to rapidly, as if the country's life depended on it, begin holding the Trump administration accountable for their illegal, immoral actions.

Then maybe Indiana Republicans shouldn’t have backed Trump for president. They could have avoided this if they had backed someone else in 2024.
Trump is now directly threatening Indiana lawmakers that if they refuse to pass his preferred gerrymander, he’ll strip the state of federal funding. Not metaphorically, literally.

American patriots should get jobs inside ICE and then kill it from within.

Dems should also get jobs in ICE and take it down from the inside in 2026.
They are planning to occupy our cities to ensure they can remain in power forever—these test runs are setting the stage for a nationwide operation to steal the election.
The best thing you can do right now is talk to your neighbors, join (or start) community groups, and protect each other from ICE.

For the record, it's insanely unethical and improper for the president of the United States to host private business meetings at the White House to further enrich his family business. But that's what is happening today with Trump and the Saudis. It's a slap in the face to American taxpayers.

Traitors, indeed.
One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Republicans can go a long way toward solving their Epstein problem if they impeach and convict Trump immediately. Throw him out with the trash. Anything less will leave a stain of pedophilia on the GOP for generations.

This may be unpopular to say, but very few people actually need to fly in airplanes. Most people do so because they want to and can afford it. It’s a costly service that most people can live without.

If you see a so-called poll monitor, let them know you see them and are not afraid. Cast your vote with courage and confidence. Let them know they will not win.
In California, the DOJ has deployed poll monitors in Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside, and Fresno Counties. In New Jersey, they’re stationed in Passaic County. Don’t let these voter intimidation tactics by the Trump administration stop you from voting.

Don't forget that, in July 2025, the Republicans passed and signed into law a bill that adds $3 trillion to the national debt. So spare me the untrue talking point that the federal government can no longer fund food stamps and health care subsidies.

I’m doing what I can every day. Are you?
Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
