I was feeling down, so I wrote something to cheer myself up. Figure I can't tell people they need to speak up if I don't do it myself!

A senator needs to start ending every speech they give on the floor with "furthermore, Palantir must be destroyed."

After weeks of racist propaganda, a federal assault by 3,000 violent gestapo, two summary executions, and the arrest of Black journalists using the symbolism of slavery, I think the answer to Tim Walz’s question—“Is this Fort Sumter?”—has been answered.

They're killing those who see and document them because they're ashamed of themselves and what they are doing, and they know that they're going to pay for it.

"...we have to prepare for a showdown—a decisive, probably drawn-out power struggle involving politicians, judges, media, and mass mobilization of the citizenry. That’s the size and nature of the challenge. I believe we’re up for it. We have to be."

“...fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles. Fascism is a false revolution. It propagates a 'new order' while saving the same old moneyed interests.”

If there is one thing the government has already made clear in 2026: It no longer cares about your vote. They just don’t care what you think anymore.

The Trump regime murdered politics as surely as it murdered Renee Good. It is time to plan accordingly.

My bill, the No Kings Act, is being voted on in committee this week. It would allow you to sue federal agents if they use excessive force, illegally detain you, or violate your right to free speech. In a democracy no one is above the law, including the President & federal agents.

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela

We are a rogue state, a global pariah

Trump is ruling as a dictator, period

An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations

The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!
