Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

The current leadership of the Dems is decrepit and overwhelmed by the moment. It’s time for more youthful and innovative candidates to step up
As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Whenever I catch myself getting to big for my britches, I remember:

There are 8 billion people on Earth which is one of 8 planets around our star. Our galaxy contains 400 billion stars. The Universe contains 2 trillion galaxies.

In this context, my grand plans and grievances amount to nothing
