Just as people in this country follow herd mentality, INDIVIDUALS, such as our ELECTED LEADERS, also follow herd mentality. Out of fear and safety of losing their own power and influence, they choose evil over their personal morals & the CONSTITUTION that they vowed to uphold as an elected official.

Thank you, Representative @algreen.house.gov for taking a stand.

School Choice is essentially present-day school segregation... Perhaps by race... perhaps by class... perhaps by something else... but it's the average, every day person without access to money, connections and influence that will suffer. This does NOT benefit The People.

Convince me otherwise.

If Trump was president in 1940:

“Britain, Germany has all the cards. Your Army fled like a dog in Dunkirk! You don’t have any cards and you need cards!! I just want peace and i don’t care who has the advantage! CARDS!”

A new Substack dropped today – the first of my new project "Adventure Recall", where I tell of old adventures with a new story... These are often the first time I've ever shared the story not verbally or in person.

Somehow standing up for humanity is radical & polarizing...

The leader of a country has been invaded and at war for a minimum of three straight and the question you have to ask him is "Why aren't you wearing a suit?" ?????? 😶

Let me put it this way...

Musk doing what he's doing is like me—random citizen—buddying up with the County Prosecutor, creating a new department out of thin air, and then pointing at random people in my community that I want to see locked up without any evidence or a fair trial. I see no issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇

@housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

Ever notice how people always scream "States' Rights!" but as soon as a governor stands up to Trump he threatens to pull their Federal funding?

Huh... Sounds pretty authoritarian to me

But standing up to a misguided Federal Government is exactly why each state HAS rights.

STAND UP! 💪🏻

"As an organization, Trails & Pathways has worked side by side with the Teton Basin Ranger District staff for more than twenty years. We are deeply concerned for the fate of the Forest Service and fallout from these decisions. Please call your representatives immediately."
Support & defend our partners at the Forest Service
Last week was very difficult for our partners at the Forest Service as they, like many other public agencies were subject to challenging cuts to staff. Undoubtedly, it will affect the level of service they can provide to support your experience in nature. Here are some facts regarding the cuts:

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

Is
Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…”

If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.
