Why I vote Blue:
Short answer? I’m a human being, not a soulless ghoul worried about my taxes and imaginary migrants.

These are the living conditions ICE/border patrol provides for the children they kidnap.

Trump and his voters have put us through so much pain and not one of his supporters has a higher paying job or cheaper healthcare or a better education for their children or new roads or sidewalks or hospitals...
Nothing is better. Everything is demonstrably worse.

TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents
From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Narrator: Like the tariff dividend check, and the DOGE savings check before it, this is a figment of his imagination.
Trump on Air Traffic Controllers: The one’s that stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus.
Ingraham: Where is that money coming from?
Trump: I don't know.

Priests & reporters are getting shot in the head with pepper balls by Trump thugs. I just want Dem Pols (esp. mine: Kaine & Warner) to fight for us & show a fraction of courage in Congress. We delivered 6.5% swing left in Virginia for them, a mandate, they owe us

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

“It’s their jobs…”
Really? You going there, Daffy?
Mr Duffy, it’s only their jobs, if they’re getting paid (including back pay for time already worked), otherwise it’s at best volunteer work, at worst indentured servitude.
