Who is working on developing the platform for the future when Dems have power again? I’m tired of living in the dismay zone and want to work toward building the America we want to see. Do I have to get a degree in public policy or what?

WH has struck another vessel, killing three in Intl. waters, claiming it was transporting illegal drugs to the U.S.
If the U.S. can blow up boats in Intl. waters claiming they “might” be drug traffickers, then other nations (China, Russia..) could claim the same to attack vessels they don’t like.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.
