You don’t have to be a Democrat to feel what’s at stake. Rule of law, honest elections, peaceful transfers of power—those aren’t partisan values. They’re American ones. This moment calls for unity, not loyalty to any party. It’s time to rise for democracy, together.

Fox Propaganda. “Alleged gang member” is not a crime. No charges. No trial. Just gone. If we accept this for anyone—yes, even suspected criminals—we’ve shredded the Constitution. This isn’t justice. It’s fascism. And it should terrify every American.

This is unacceptable. A legal U.S. resident, detained by masked, armed agents at what was supposed to be his final citizenship step—without explanation or due process? This is inhumane, illegal, and terrifying. Share Widely. We can’t look away from this!!
Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.
Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

If we need a birth certificate, REAL ID, or passport to vote—a constitutional right—why not require the same to buy a gun? Seems like we’re protecting ballots more than bullets. Either tighten both or admit it’s not about security—it’s about control.

Irresponsible tax cuts don’t stay invisible forever—sooner or later, the bond market does the math.
I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Requiring documentary proof of citizenship risks disenfranchising millions of eligible voters—especially seniors, veterans, and low-income Americans who may not have easy access to documents. Safeguarding elections is crucial, but so is protecting every citizen’s right to vote.
🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Exactly. Waiting for the “right moment” only strengthens the wrong people. Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself—it seeps in. Early resistance isn’t overreaction. It’s foresight.
"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

I saw Daryl Davis speak recently, and I can’t stop thinking about it.
He’s a Black musician who spent years sitting down with members of the KKK—not to argue, but to listen.
Over 200 people left the Klan because of those conversations.
Yeah. You read that right.
Here’s how he did it.
