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...

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? 👇

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.

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?
