When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.
Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

🔥 I shared my thoughts with HR Dive about SHRM's decision to platform anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck at its Oct. event. Robby is now Head of Capital Markets for the Heritage Foundation.
In the private sector, Robby's resume wouldn’t have gotten to the next stage.

‘It goes too far’: Robby Starbuck SHRM panel legitimizes anti-DEI stance, stakeholders say
Many in the industry say platforming the conservative influencer — who has called DEI “poison” — continues to take SHRM in the wrong direction.

Meet Caroline, a former TPUSA insider. She saw firsthand how Kirk’s world runs on cruelty, trolling, and blind obedience. It took years to admit the truth.
NOTE: recorded in July, before Charlie Kirk’s murder, which makes it hit even harder.

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

The rules, if you are keeping track:
If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.
If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

I DID miss this. I’ve been yelling at the TV this morning about needing them to give equal time to the pro- congestion pricing perspective!
In case you missed it over the holiday break, NY1 aired a great video, minus the interviewee, where they actually for once presented the transit perspective (90% of people) and how we will benefit from congestion pricing.
