My book was one the books these kids saved. They are absolute heroes. But I'm so enraged that ignorant adults put them in this position.

So many takes about Democrats being cowards, or stupid, or naive, or whatever. They’re bought. Everything they do makes sense if you stop assuming they’re representative of anyone but a few big donors.

The Democrats are not capitulating because they are scared of Trump they’re capitulating because actually countering fascism in Ways that would stop it would also impact their money flow and the wealth of those at the highest level of the economy and business they represent.

I’m so full of rage about the Dems caving and letting people die that I want to punch through my window and scream into the rain. Any Dem that caves on this needs to be run out of town, made miserable wherever they go.

Dear My Senator, if you end this shutdown without ironclad protections for the American people I will dedicate all of my energy to ensuring this is your last term as my representative. You will not be elected dog catcher if I am still on this good earth.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.
