YES YES YES!! We all need to be this courageous.
I posted this video earlier, but now I have a clean copy of it. Meet Bernard Marks. He is 87 & attended a Sacramento town hall where he confronts a top U.S. immigration law enforcement official & the Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones. He is the energy we all need. We ALL must standup to fascism.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Who could have predicted

Handing the country over
Without so much as a peep of protest

Who promised to dismantle everything
The moment they got their hands on power

Would result

Trump's on the side of Putin. Why? He likes dictators--but he also knows that Putin will help him stay in power here. Can Europe and Congress help save the free world when the American president has defected to the other side? @Timodc and I discuss.
