I've been fighting to stop Trump and the Republicans from changing voting rules and suppress voting rights for years. The North Carolina Supreme Court election is just the latest example of them trying and us beating them in court.

This morning, the full D.C. Circuit, on a 7-4 vote, ordered Cathy Harris & Gwynne Wilcox back in their jobs at the Merit Systems Protection Board & National Labor Relations Board, respectively.
The move vacated a panel decision that allowed Trump's firings to go into effect.

FREEDOM is more than a word — it's a breath, a truth, a calling. It’s the fire in the soul that dares to dream, move, and live unbound. In this video, we honor the voices—writers, leaders, thinkers—who defined freedom. Their words remind us: freedom is chosen, lived, and cherished! #freedomquotes

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not.
So, I won’t.

SILENCE.IS.NOT.AN.OPTION when truth must be spoken and justice defended. Tyranny thrives on silence, but our voices have the power to resist, heal, and transform. To speak is to stand, to fight, and to uphold freedom.

It was a great day to protest in Sarasota. Lots of thumbs up, honking with approval and some giving the middle finger as they drove by. What I do know is… SILENCE is not an option!!!!
