Just a reminder that many primaries are happening this year. If we want good leadership, we need to do a minimum of research and come out for the primaries at far better numbers.

A DHS official briefed a far-right anti-voting group on how to use a federal database to flag “noncitizens” on voter rolls. It’s part of Trump’s latest plan to weaponize federal agencies and set the stage for mass voter purges ahead of 2026.

The same companies that outsource jobs overseas, hire experts on work-visas to control them, and exploit every aspect of our economy want you to teach their A.I. how to replace you...

Violence begets violence, either directly or indirectly. Greed is inherently self-defeating.

Thus a greed-driven war with Iran can only bring violence and self-destruction in this time when we should be most united in solutions for climate restoration.

Every American has a common cause; the prosperity of our nation.

For any single group to prosper at the expense of others is to undermine the whole. If we are not united in prosperity, then we become self-destructive in our division.
