The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

D+14 is phenomenal it won't get as much coverage though because media talked up the chances of a Dem win which in a +22 district was never realistic. This kind of swing in 2026 would net the Dems dozens of seats and comfortable control Of the House
⚡️Projections starting to come in calling it for Van Epps 🤖 , despite a huge, very respectable overperformance from Aftyn Behn that speaks volumes about the stiff, angry winds Republicans face the coming midterms. #TN7

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

Roofing tacks accidentally spilled in the road?
yeah, but 'dangerous weapon' charges might be a bit harder to handle.. as it is, 'obstruction' charges are growing in number. not that we shouldn't obstruct but we have to be ready for the consequences. ready and WILLING to take the hit in order to stand for RIGHT (and no, not 'that' right).

If you don’t know how close this race is, this was a previously +22 Republican district! It’s now a 2 point race and likely getting closer each day. If you have extra time to spare this holiday season, check out this chance to help flip a gerrymandered district in Tennessee. Let’s Flip This Seat!
