It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Trump administration now compiling a list of FBI agents who investigated violent felons who assaulted police officers? Share this to stop the mass purge of people who were simply doing their jobs. Illegal. Immoral. We are better than this www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/u...

Donald Trump is like the nasty child who runs at a gaggle of geese just to delight in their startled wing-flapping and flying away. He wants to cause disruptions, then relish the impact, without care about the real pain he's spurring.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
