Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must.

I’m sure JD Vance is terribly concerned about this persecution of Christians here in Charlotte.
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

July 4th isn’t just Independence Day, it’s also when our freedom became certified upon Lee Greenwood writing our beautiful national anthem God Bless the USA with only 6 cents to his name and a cabin.

Every headline is like this, identifying them by their jobs. Is there any evidence the shooter chose them because they were Israeli embassy workers, as opposed to Jewish people leaving a Jewish event at a Jewish Museum?

I Teach Jewish Studies. There’s a Bitter Irony to What the Trump Administration Is Asking of My Campus.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
