What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I've been waiting 45 years!

Trump says immigrants must prove ‘good moral character’ — this from the guy who paid hush money to a porn star, stole from his own charity, and tried to overturn an election.

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

On day one he was gonna fix it all and only he could do it. Instead he’s killing jobs, crashing the economy & the stock market is plummeting. BUT - it’s never his fault. 🙄 He’s immune to accountability.

The new DNC Chair needs to be someone who knows how to unite, fight and win…charismatic, articulate & informative. The complete opposite of jaime harrison who spent his time whining & blocking staunch Dems who told him to do his job. We need @benwikler.bsky.social

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Thou shalt not forget that all Americans are united by how much they hate the greed of healthcare insurance companies.

As a young teenager in 1972, I first remember hearing the song "Blue Sky" by the Allman Brothers Band. It has been one of my favorite songs ever since. The song, like this site, gives me a sense of hope about the future. "You're my Blue Sky, you're my sunny day"
