There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

We didn’t inherit democracy; we inherited the opportunity for it. It requires active care and engagement. It is a fire we must collectively ignite, stoke and protect or risk losing its light to the shadows of apathy and corruption. We must never fail to respond to the early warning signs of decay.

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

When billionaires exploit our broken campaign finance laws to donate a quarter of a billion dollars to a candidate, we’re no longer a democracy and it’s no longer an election — it’s an oligarchy and an auction.

We need campaign finance reform now.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

If you as a parent do not want your child to read about something, that is your job as a parent to oversee their reading. It should absolutely not affect what children who are not yours are reading.

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

How happy are you not watching corporate media? I had to take a peek at our competition today. I turned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. It was 24/7 bashing of President Biden for pardoning Hunter. It was pathetic. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
