I like posting reasons to be hopeful that we will still have a democracy in 4 years. Jefferson wsn’t perfct but the assertion that it is a self evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights - that sums it up right there.

Dave Min should call out Young Kim on the house floor. Ask her point blank whether she approves of deportations without process, or collapsing our economy tariffs.

Every Democratic Rep should confront their geographically closest Republican colleague on the house floor.

Yeah, right. And Bill Gates is going to send you $100 for forwarding an email.

I love that Mark Cuban is helping us with data points for conversations. Let’s spread the word.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Arlington Cemetery website scrubs links about Black and female veterans Pentagon leaders have ordered that their websites and social media pages remove articles and images that “promote” DEI.

ICYMI:

“Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”

Just saw this yesterday. George H.W.Bush and Reagan disagree. Watch them explain that excluding kids from education is not going to help society in any way. youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?...

Are Republicans in Congress going along with DOGE because of what Musk said about backing the opponent of anyone that defies them? What if @mcuban.bsky.social and other rich people formed a PAC to counter any anti-establishment campaign funding by Elon Musk?

There has been a lot written about the years leading up to WWII. What I want to know is how did Germany move on and denounce the Regime so quickly? It’s hard for me to imagine the MAGA half ever changing sides.

Please run for CA-40. You would win in a landslide and there are thousands of constituents that will gladly canvass.

“The shouldn’t have resisted” is not a valid argument!

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

This past weekend, Elon Musk appears to have gained unprecedented – and possibly illegal – access to our federal payments systems and a LOT of our personal information.

Let me explain why this should alarm every American: 1/

We “normal Americans” are scared and weakened and anxious to take our democracy back as soon as possible.

To say the actions of the MAGA administration do not represent us is the understatement of the year.
