It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Get out and protest! The national No Kings rally is next month. Get out and bring friends and neighbors. We need to make a HUGE statement.
When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

Having visited the Kensington Runestone in Minnesota, which seemed fishy to me even before the official hoax proclamation, I find this article of interest. Go Vikings! (And not the football team.) See the gift article below.

So sad that Tina Smith is not running again. She is a good representative - and a firm voice against the idiocy of the far right.
Hey Utah, aren't you proud of the monster you elected?

Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.
