Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Most people you meet are just trying to get through their day, wanting to be happy, and needing to feel loved, while facing the obstacles they have in life...just like you. We can all use some extra smiles, kindness, and compassion.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
