Talarico: "As a former educator, as someone who fought for students & kids in the halls of the Texas Capitol, it makes me sick to my stomach to see our foreign policy take the lives of innocent children in Iran & in the Middle East. It has to end. We need a foreign policy that reflects our values."

Florida Senate passes own version of anti-voting SAVE America Act The Florida bill is an attempt to impose the national SAVE America Act's severe voting restrictions on a state level.

If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.

"Florida lawmakers are poised to approve sweeping new restrictions that would require voters to prove their citizenship status, as well as remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Suspect in attack at Michigan synagogue is dead, officials say Security officers at Temple Israel had "engaged the threat" that apparently started with a vehicle ramming into the building, according to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Horrified by reports of violence at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. We are thinking of those impacted and the entire Jewish community.

Everyone deserves to be safe and free to worship without fear. Anti-semitism and all forms of hate must be eradicated.

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

β€œThere’s no reason to expect that Trump’s Iranian debacle will prevent him from lighting yet another match of chaos or conflict. In fact, experience teaches that Trump bristling from a failure makes him more, not less, likely to do something equally stupid, and to do so soon.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has gutted the Pentagon oversight offices that would have investigated the recent strike on an Iranian girls’ school β€” a move that has degraded America’s ability to protect civilians amid its largest air campaign in decades.

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

We’re launching a billboard ad campaign across NC later in March with two simple messages!

-Support our NATO allies
-Spend money on veteran’s healthcare at home instead of on the war in Iran

Could you please chip in today to help grow this campaign?

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.

A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

I'm not completely inherently against military spending BUT not at the expense of the people. We could easily fund universal healthcare, universal basic income, universal childcare, free public colleges, etc...and still have one of the best funded militaries in the world.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't β€” and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

A vast % of Americans don't understand history. government; federal or state. They don't understand our economic system. They don't understand geopolitics or history or the law. They are meek and powerless in a sea of confusion. This is a revolution of truth for all not meek and powerless.
