Hoping to find a kind, informed, engaged community here. I’m a Blue Dot in a state that folks call red but actually a state that just doesn’t show up enough to vote.

Little Rock AR protest as UA/ASU game attendees arrive. More waves, hand claps and thumbs up than the predictable beta male middle fingers.

This is what I’m so worried about
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

📣“Our Veterans can’t eat thoughts and prayers.” — Rep. Angie Craig
Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill" guts food aid for those who wore the uniform.
You don’t get to wave the flag while letting Veterans go hungry. That's not patriotism—that's betrayal.
