This is exactly how we have to start taking; and we have to start talking like this right now. This is the way.

I just heard someone call MAGA Y’all Qaeda and I’ll never be the same again.

Are we done yet?

I’m a college professor, and although it’s easy to mock and ridicule this fool, to hear the President say that Harvard is a threat to democracy is chilling. This will invariable lead to a much bigger social movement against academia. It must not be allowed to succeed.

Ok, you’re crazy. And a traitor.

President Obama found “The idea of intentionally trying to deceive people in their most vulnerable moments” particularly upsetting at a 2024 rally. He was right then and he’s right now.

Irony: those who fly the Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me” flag, a symbol of resistance against oppression, are the same who support the greatest governmental power grab in our history. What they call freedom is actually privilege. Their closed minded views can’t understand what freedom really is.

So…..isn’t this the very situation all of these 2nd amendment “patriots” were waiting for? Isn’t this the tyranny they were warning us about and planning to defend us against? I mean, I’m just asking questions here…

“One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world.” -Barack Obama

The President of Lithuania showed our fallen troops more respect than the President of the United States. How sad, what we have become.

So everyone’s 401K is in the shitter, the price of literally everything is going to go up, and the President of the United States blew off 4 dead soldiers and their families to attend a fucking golf tournament. And that’s just this past week. But hey, the Gulf of America, right?

He’s wants countries to buy their way out of the tariffs. Not to us, to him. He’s going to personally gain from this. We’ll never know how more than likely, and it more than likely will be more than he who gains from this, but make no mistake, he’s profiting off of this.

So, uh, anyone happen to be paying attention to Beto? He’s out there crushing it at town halls and from I’m seeing he’s not getting much coverage. That really should change because he’s seriously telling it like it is.

Ahh, the good old days when they believed in consequences for violating the laws pertaining to classified material.

That screeching sound you hear? That’s the sound of them tables turning, really, really quickly…

And when questioned, their response will be smug, defensive, and to place the blame on the reporter. I guarantee it. Watch.

Saw a video talking about a new “People’s Party” in response to the Bernie/AOC events growing in popularity. Kinda has a nice ring to it.

Here we go.

34,000 people. On a weekday. In March. In Colorado. Something’s happening. If you’re paying attention you can feel it. It’s nowhere near what we need, but it’s a good start.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, making it difficult for people to register, and potentially cutting services is frightening, insulting, and damaging to millions of Americans. This may be what tips things to get us out in the streets. Maybe?? We’ll see I suppose.

We’re going to go through this again in six months. Will he vote with them again? We deserve to know if the leadership of our party is going to fight or cave.

This is why Schumer cannot continue as leader. This is utterly irresponsible coming from someone in a leadership position during the hostile takeover of our democracy. This is ridiculous.

Where are our former Presidents? What are they waiting for? What exactly are we doing? How incredibly sad it is to watch our former and current leaders watch us all go down, knowing we are essentially helpless without them. Unforgivable.

This is a great article discussing the importance of higher education speaking out against the mounting authoritarianism of the Trump administration. Terrifying, but great. Definitely worth 15 minutes.

I don’t believe resistance is enough. I don’t believe opposition is enough. I believe we need to revolt. We need to show them just how much our freedoms and traditions mean to us. We need to show them how fiercely we are will to fight for them. I believe we need to start within our own party.

Tim Walz speaks American.

I know it’s early, but I’d be really happy if this was test balloon for a possible run. I think everything about him is an antidote for what we have right now; folksy, smart, relatable, experienced in governing, and still able to communicate in a very straightforward, digestible way. He’s real.
