AL State Library Board Chairman & ALGOP Chairman John Wahl is absolutely gaslighting all Alabama while he abuses our state librarians and violates the Constitutional rights of all Alabamians. #readfreelyalabama #readfreely #censorship #alabama

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!
This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

In my opinion, Pete Buttigieg is THE most effective communicator in the United States.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

We made it through all of January without House Republicans bringing up a single bill to lower the cost of living.
❌Nothing on grocery prices.
❌ Nothing on housing or rent.
❌ Nothing on child care costs.

To our faithful public servants across America:
HOLD THE LINE -- do NOT resign.
Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you.
Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts.
