I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

The same Republicans having a hissy fit that Texas Democrats left the state to stop Abbott from gerrymandering further are the same Republicans who fled Washington, D.C. to prevent the release of the Epstein Files and prevent the press from asking questions about Trump's rape of children.

Remember when the witch melted and it turned out that all her, shall we say, followers, turned out to be good folks who were just pretending to be loyal because they felt they must? Wouldn’t that be something.

So trump will mobilize the National Guard to hunt down migrant children, but not to find American children swept away in a flood they should have been warned about?

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?
