Sometimes, you don’t have to win to be victorious. Never, ever submit. Let them know you won’t ever give up.

The Bible is just a book. What matters is what you do with it. If you choose to interpret it in such a way that requires you you treat women as second-class citizens, or to be a bigot when it comes to gay and trans people, that’s not the book. That’s YOU.

If a President has no legal authority to ask you to do something, the best response if he *does* ask is “no”.

The politicians who passed the cruel and inexcusable ban on gender-affirming care in Kansas are the very same ones who would look the other way when religious zealots deny their own children basic, life-saving medical care, then watch them die of entirely preventable causes while they pray about it.

What to know what’s in Project 2025, but don’t want to parse through thousands of pages of drivel? Voila!

Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

If universities *really* want to prepare young people for the modern corporate world, they should be assigned more than they can possibly complete, and tests should cover material that wasn’t taught.

Appeals to humanity or empathy in public policy don’t work on people who view morality as authority-based.

This is a stark example of why Christianity is so toxic in the political realm.

MAGA voters, when you talk about America being “great” again, what exactly does that mean to you?

What criteria will you use to determine when America is “great” again? What does that look like to you? What specifically will you expect to see to deem Trump a successful president?

Just curious.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

I’m sick and tired of the social media moguls cashing in on the outrage culture they cultivated.

It’s not some tragic accident.

It’s deliberate.
It’s unethical.
It’s unraveling the social fabric.
It’s only getting worse.

It has to stop, and only we can stop it.

“We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.

We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life & history, there is such a thing as being too late.

This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.
