Maybe it’s just that I’m old, but β€œleftist” immediately makes me look at somebody with a lot more caution. β€” Jeff

WHY WE PROTEST part 3 En masse it DOES affect legislators and public perception. And by gathering, whether silently or loudly, each of us finds the activist path that resonates within and together we form community. Showing up can be a first step in more active, positive engagement. #whyweprotest

WHY WE PROTEST part 2 A J Muste, pacifist clergyman active when asked what he could change standing alone at night in front of the White House with a candle replied, "Oh, I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.” #whyweprotest

WHY WE PROTEST part 1
Here in rural Mendocino with no visible targets like a Federal building or major corporate headquarters, protests may be seen as largely symbolic, but they serve to embody personal beliefs and tell those in power hey there’s a problem…

BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.

The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice β€” and our voices were heard.

This is very important and a major pet peeve of mine. If you don’t know what you’re doing- and if you learned on the internet, then sorry, you don’t know what you’re doing- please leave old gravestones well enough alone.

Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?

I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.

Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.

This reminds me of Ted Cruz on January 6 saying that β€œthe voters” have lots of concerns about the election results and so he’s just doing his job by responding to those concerns. Hm, where did Republican voters ever get that cockamamie idea from?

I did the unusual thing of calling a Congressman who’s a distant cousin (and more aligned with Ogles than me) and demanded as family that he disavow Ogles’s remarks. β€” Jeff

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

β€œA new study from Northwestern University warns that coordinated scientific fraud is becoming increasingly common. From fabricated data to purchased authorships and paid citations, researchers say organized groups are manipulating the academic publishing system.
To investigate the issue, scientists combined large scale analysis of scientific publications with detailed case studies. While misconduct is often portrayed as the work of individual researchers cutting corners, the Northwestern team discovered something far more complex. Their findings reveal global networks of people and organizations working together to systematically exploit weaknesses in the publishing process.
The scale of the problem is striking. According to the researchers, traudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications. The authors say the findings should serve as a warning to the scientific community to strengthen safeguards before public trust in s E ence begins to erode.”

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
