Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Tim Walz walked into that hearing like a grown‑up; Nancy Mace lurched in like she was chasing a clip for a rage‑bait podcast. She pushed her tired “what is a woman” stunt, and he torched it, reminding her that if he hadn’t spoken up, two of his own people would be dead. Mace needs to be voted out.

All we are asking for is transparency. At the county meeting last night, the Sheriff was largely unwilling to answer any questions about Sumner County's 287(g) contract. If there is no cause for concern, why not talk about it?

I Expand ACA subsidies to keep care affordable and local. Hold politicians accountable for letting corporations gamble with our community's health. Prioritize people over profits. Nobody should get rich off our neighbors' time of need. It’s time to put our families first.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.
