Another great read from the amazing Tom Joad. My fabulous songwriter friend Carmaig DeForest once gave me a talking to suggesting that I should stop worrying so much about who was president and worry more about who is on the school board. This makes tremendous sense. Give this your time.

Patel, you in danger girl👀
It should be noted, being FBI Director is not a political position. It has a tenure of 10 years. He may be out in just one.

Across the country, women’s domestic violence centers are closing their doors,not because the need has gone away, but because the funding has.
When a center closes,It’s a crisis hotline that stops ringing. A child who loses a trauma counselor. A woman who now has nowhere to turn.

Affordability is clearly not on the Republicans’ agenda to fix…
Re-upping 🧵 below because the only way it’s going to change is if the R base gets cranky. So share the articles with your MAGA family members/friends over a holiday meal—that you likely spent a fortune on.
Factual Information is key

As 47 yearns to lie into reality, his age and the country he has destroyed, and the huge pushback. We are seeing his failure, the polls another lowest point in his presidency. We will vote this criminal enterprise out. Follow and support the cause.
