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.

This can’t to repeated enough. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

We live in an era of post-truth. Britain and Europe must stand up against the emerging tyranny in America and defend the right of Ukraine to sovereignty and self-determination.

In 1994, under pressure from US, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances from United States, Russia, and UK to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Eventually Russia invaded Ukraine. Imagine if Ukraine had kept its nukes-

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

The rate of descent into lawlessness in the United States continues to accelerate. Until that descent is arrested, and we can assess what institutions still hold, the country and its citizens are fundmantally unsafe.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Putin “loved Brexit, cheers on the far right in Europe and backed Trump because he wants to see the crumbling of the western bloc that has stood firm against him. For a US president to follow that script….is a huge win for the Kremlin” Trump-the traitorous patsy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is doing things that are unpopular and hurt Americans because he knows there won’t be any more elections. He believes he is untouchable.

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.
