Today is a significant day, the start of four years of resistance. Our daily mission from this point forward will be the unwavering support of the people, exposing any attempt to undermine democracy.

A reminder before he’s sworn in: Border crossings are way down, deportations are way up, domestic energy production is the greatest it’s ever been, and the American economy has been kicking butt for three years.

No matter how much he lies, he’s inheriting a very strong America.

Dear Carrie Underwood,

As a woman and professed follower of Jesus, exactly how do you make sense of using your tremendous gifts to celebrate an adjudicated rapist, a man accused by dozens of women of assault, harassment, and misconduct?

It's virtually impossible to simultaneously claim alignment with Trump—and with a table where equality, diversity, and empathy all get seats.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Lately, I confess that I’ve been imagining myself in a way I never have before in over a half-century of living here in America: I’m imagining myself as an expat.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Now, President Biden needs to spend the next month using every bit of power he has to protect America and its people from the most corrupt and lawless cadre of ghouls on their way in.

These Conservative Christian prophets of doom had everything about the approaching moral disaster here correct, except for one thing: its source.

They neglected to predict the actual genesis of this great national decimation.

2024 was the first general election for AL Sec of State Allen and we saw the lowest voter turnout in 36 years, yet he refuses to support a bill that would make it easier for folks to vote and thus increase turnout. Great job Wes! www.al.com/news/2024/11...
Wes Allen: ‘Absolutely opposed’ to Alabama Voting Rights Act bill
The Republican Alabama Secretary of State, in a statement Thursday, called the omnibus voting rights legislation introduced in August as something filled with "liberal initiatives."

For the Magaidiots in the back, here are some facts:

- Donald Trump did not win this election in a “landslide”. He does not have a “mandate”. He won by one of the smallest margins in our history.
