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.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

The DOGE gang that can't shoot straight: If this is true, it means that not only have the DOGEbros sent an email with a demand of questionable legality to all executive branch workers, but they have sent it to judicial branch employees who are constitutionally beyond their reach.

This is Musk's work and he should be explaining it to all of us. Or better yet, just shutting everything down and getting out of DC. What a wonderful silence that would bring.

Why did Trump fire CQ Brown? According to advisers, it was because of a four-minute video Brown taped after the George Floyd murder talking about his experiences as a Black pilot in the Air Force, Helene Cooper reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Isn't the easiest explanation for the Muskian rampage that he's working on behalf of Putin and extracting fanatical, bloody revenge against US, weakening the country, shrinking our military, destroying our reputation, melting our alliances, making us poorer & now punishing Americans directly?

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

Donald Trump is making sure his friends, from Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, are getting massive tax cuts. Instead of lowering prices for working families, his taxes will make life harder than ever. Here in Illinois, we're finding a way forward together to fight the challenges.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

I’m old enough to remember when firing people because they’re a woman or Black was not considered anti-DEI. It was just called discrimination and bigotry.
