On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.

Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

Being progressive in a red state isn’t a weakness. It’s frontline democracy work. You matter.

Your visibility shifts culture. Claim your values, stay rooted, and don’t dim your politics.

Speak boldly, act locally, and know that your presence is pushing progress- even if it feels slow.

Last week, ICE agents violently removed farmworker organizer and advocate Alfredo Juarez from his car while dropping his partner off at work.

He was likely targeted because of his work for farmworkers’ basic rights, such as overtime pay & protections from extreme heat.
