Appreciate the heads-up! ‘Doomers predicting the end of elections’ sounds downright wholesome compared to what I was dealing with 😂 Glad to hear the disagreements stay civil here, that’s all I was really hoping for. Already noticing the difference, feels like a breath of fresh air.

Absolutely Troy. This recent freeze on billions in child care and social services to five blue states quickly blocked by a judge shows the risk. Republicans must call it out now or we normalize executive overreach that could target any side tomorrow. System failure indeed.

Democracy works best when people participate. Following for that reason.

This stack is 🔥: Snyder’s On Tyranny & The Road to Unfreedom + Kendzior’s Hiding in Plain Sight & They Knew. Sharp warnings on tyranny, Russian influence, corruption, and conspiracy culture eroding democracy. Essential reading right now. 📚

A union can’t survive if federal resources are distributed based on loyalty instead of law. That sets a dangerous precedent regardless of who’s in power.

No one “deserves” to be shot. The fact that this is even up for debate shows how far outrage media has pushed people away from basic humanity. Megyn Kelly isn’t informing anyone, she’s cashing in.

That stood out to me too. Focusing on oil while ignoring free and fair elections and the opposition really says a lot about the priorities being signaled.

From the footage that’s come out, she was in her vehicle when the ICE agent shot her. People are rightly asking for transparency and accountability on what exactly happened next.

JD Vance’s comments came before a full investigation, and video footage raises serious questions about whether deadly force was justified. Minneapolis officials have pushed back hard, and protests are continuing because many people feel justice isn’t being served.
