The American people don't want Project 2025, and any nominee who would weaponize and dismantle our institutions to enforce such a radical and cruel agenda must be rejected. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/Smr2AZsv

How much wealth is enough? How much power is enough?
What will “he” and his handlers do with it all after they destroy everyone and everything else?

Can anyone help me understand the end game?

In the midst of a stressful, joyful, heartbreaking, hectic and rewarding day my grandson (9) told me that when I visit next month he will follow me everywhere. In fact he added, “I will follow you forever. Unless I need a break to play Nintendo”.

Made my heart swell.

Happy Thanksgiving from the land of the Pomo on the Mendocino County Coast.

For 10,000 years the Pomo lived here peacefully hunting, fishing, and gathering.

In 1855 a US Government team arrived to contain and control the band. Eventually moving them out.

Whose land are you feasting on today?
