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.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

i renounce my curse of foresight. this has to stop.

They thought they were getting cheap groceries, America First policies, and a leader who cared. Let’s laugh at their pain.

this attitude — paperwork is for sissies, real wars are won by Big Strong Men — is traditionally a harbinger of ruinous for defeat for everyone who holds it

It is gonna take a ton of courageous effort to save Anerican democracy at this point. There is a pretty short path to full blown, court-sanctioned authoritarianism.
