🌟 AOC is one of the Democratic party’s best assets right now and a very inspiring leader, especially when we are the opposition party! DO NOT HIDE HER!!! #WeAreTheOpposition 💪🫏

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

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.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it.

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

Octavia Butler was a black female science fiction writer who won several awards for her works, including Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards. In 1995, Butler became the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.

Some practice sessions are jammin', and others make me wonder who smeared the jam on the strings. And I have a bone to pick with Joplin.
