It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

The first physical evidence of Trump’s airstrikes on boats has now been examined by the NYT. No fentanyl. No cocaine. Just burned packets with traces of marijuana. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

Trump’s latest fundraising email asks supporters to check a box to “SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE battle.” The fine print: checking it auto-adds an extra $3,300 donation on 12/31.

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.

In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

Someone in his administration told him he ended 8 wars. And that GDP is awesome. And that he's creating jobs. And that his poll numbers are great. Trump doesn't have a clue what's going on, he only knows what he's told.

This is my favorite sentence in a long while. From Doug Varone, whose dance company lost $40,000 by canceling two Kennedy Center gigs planned for next April:

“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating.”

As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused.

I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too.

To my American followers, NOW is the time to do everything to kick Trump & his Regime to the curb. Start by researching local/state elections & #VoteDemocrat. Contact your Congress Critters to tell them what you want/don't want. 5calls.org Verify often that you are eligible to vote in the Midterms.

50 ICE agents swarming a public library to arrest one person.

This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian spectacle.
Armed intimidation, fear as policy, and taxpayer money burned to terrorize communities.

This is fascism in plain sight. #TrumpWatch #Resist
