Dear Dem friends,

Coffee & Conversation with Dems
Saturday, February 1
12-1:30pm
HR Library, downstairs meeting room
502 State Street

Join your fellow Dems for a cup of coffee to talk about the latest issues and explore ways to act and volunteer with the HRCDems.

I’m tired of venting and want to organize and start doing something. Here it is- 20 actions we could start working on now.

“Hitching the evangelical wagon to Donald Trump has meant unhitching it from the life and teachings of Jesus,” Peter Wehner writes. “It’s a bad trade.”

Honestly, I don’t see how fact-checking stops free speech.

If anything, it protects it by keeping conversations grounded in truth.

Without it, lies spread like wildfire, and that’s not free speech—it’s chaos.

Prioritizing truth doesn’t silence anyone; it just keeps the dialogue real.💯

I rely on FB and Instagram for connecting with colleagues, students and parents. I’m hoping I can find a way to get rid of them and use this. We’ll see. Glad to be here in any event.
