Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Sharing some history for no particular reason: Post WWII thousands of former Nazi officials fled to Argentina because its president actively facilitated their escape to avoid Allied prosecution, as he was sympathetic to fascism, and had pre-existing economic ties with them.

I like and respect Gov. Mills, I really do.

But she’s already said she’d only serve one term if elected. Why would we nominate someone just for us to have to defend the seat in 6 years?

Graham Platner is 40. He brings a new vision of politics and can serve for quite a bit.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

What are we doing?
ICE thugs are doing violence to non-violent peaceful protesters. They shot an unarmed pastor in the headed at close range with a pepper ball while he was praying. Democrat governors should be activating their state Guard to protect the people from the feds, and disrupt them 24/7.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Another Black man was found hanging in the woods and they’re calling it a suicide.

At this point, we’re all gonna have to post that we’re mentally sound and would NEVER hang ourselves from trees.

His name is JAYVON GIVAN.

Everyone in elected office right now who is not condemning the corruption taking place by this regime is complicit in the corruption and should be treated accordingly
