SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION
Pinned
The distance of time has a way to de-emphasize historical facts. We know this from the Thanksgiving history that’s taught to us now in a context that makes us feel good about ourselves. So, with that in mind, who of us learned that one of our Founding Fathers was an authoritarian warmonger? 👇
America is in hell — but history reveals its inevitable end
Thursday was probably, politically and spiritually, the darkest Thanksgiving for our nation in our lifetimes. So how about a quick story out of America’s earliest history that eerily echoes this momen...

Trump thinks his war in Venezuela can make us forget about his Epstein scandal.

Let’s prove him wrong:
Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Take this anger with you into doing what we can. Speak out against whats going on, don't be silent. And don't you dare abstain from voting. We know they want to undermine the way our system works but we can and WILL vote these people out. Make it by a wide margin. Do all you can to fight.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

They tried to silence David Huerta. Instead, they ignited a movement. After federal agents violently arrested him during an ICE raid, unions across the country rose up. This could happen to any of us. That’s why solidarity matters.

American Labor Needed Unity. Then Came Trump’s Immigration Crackdown.
Trump has aimed to turn American workers against their immigrant colleagues. Union leaders say it backfired.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that in 2026 the world comes to understand that the party who accused their opponents of being human traffickers elected a president that was a human trafficker?

I’m fairly certain my opinion matters little in the big picture of the universe. And yet, for the new year, I want to put it out there that I have about as much interest in the lives of the rich and famous as I have in getting the bubonic plaque. 😅
