2. Help Democrats
The success of any opposition rests on the opposing party taking power. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer for their campaign.

Amid the flurry of extreme actions taken by the Administration, there’s one question I’ve been asked more than any other:
“What are you going to *do* about it?”
It’s a fair point—especially when the President has thus far avoided any real accountability.
I’ll do my best to address it. (1/14)

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.
The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.
