If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.
Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots.
Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

The Trump regime tries to brand themselves as grounded in Judeo-Christian morality.
What letter grade would you give them for living up to:
“Learn to do good; seek justice; rescue the oppressed; defend the orphan; plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1:17)

It has always been extremely difficult to be poor in America. Being poor is expensive as hell. Under Trump and his MAGAts, it has only gotten worse, and will continue to do so.
The nationwide effort to criminalize people who are without housing has subsequently and uniquely harmed communities. #ShelteringInjustice

As we observe in real time the rapidly unfolding destruction of norms, checks & balances, institutions & our democracy that we had ample warning about in Project 2025, I thought it would be a good time to review its roots: Lewis Powell’s 1971 Memo:

Thank you! It’s called the cost of citizenship. Citizenship is NOT a spectator sport.
If you want our politics to change, it is IMPERATIVE that you become a different kind of voter:
1) become an OBSESSIVE primary, local & off-cycle voter
2) research every candidate and don’t rely on what commercials tell you about them
3) show up at events where candidates speak & debate

Christmas Eve wish for you:
A quiet moment.
A lifted weight.
The knowing you’re not alone.
May the night return to you a fraction of the warmth, grace, and hope the year took.
Peace tonight.
