Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

Musk claims to be a champion for white people, but 40% of Medicaid recipients nationally are white; in states like KY, WV, and MO, whites are 74%, 65%, and 86% of Medicaid recipients, respectively.

The only group Musk champions is rich people. Everybody else can die.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Trump just pardoned these people.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” We are in a time of challenge.

The question for every leader, every citizen is where do you stand?

Not to be alarmist, but please be prepared for many gov services to vanish or be horribly downgraded in the months to come. While continuing to push national and local electeds to hold the line, think about non-gov groups that are supporting folks in your community and consider how to support them.
