And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

I found this map showing which states used Dominion Voting Machines in the 2024 race. With an election denier as the new owner of Dominion which is now Liberty vote, I definitely would advise all states to get out of their contract with them & find a new one.

Yes. He must have taken tons of it. My first girlfriend after my divorce from Connie was a psychologist. We didn't live together but I spent most nights in her apartment while we were together. She tried to talk me into taking an AD-HD medication. I was 44.
