What does freedom mean to you?

Have you asked your low info voter friends that?

Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?

Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?

Silence is complicity.

This is obscene!!!

Trump throws another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago while thousands, including government workers, line up at food banks during the shutdown— while he’s still fighting to block SNAP funding while kids go hungry.

Literally a tale of two Americas.

Yet another example of Trump shooting the US in the foot. Our abdication of moral leadership in international institutions like the UN, WHO, G20, and ICC only serves to allow our adversaries the opportunity to expand their influence on the world stage while we suffer.

Gavin Newsom beat Trump at his own game and changed the 2026 landscape.
Despite skeptics and many Democrats tut-tutting about adhering to norms (even when Republicans have burned the rule book), Newsom was determined to counteract Trump’s Texas gambit.
