We The People! Democracy will always outlast fascism. I am a progressive left leaning liberal. One person, one vote. Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Live in Peace, act with Love.

At a time when our politics feels broken, we need leaders like @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor.

Mikie will work to create jobs, lower costs, and do what’s right for the people of New Jersey.

Craziness.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption β€” including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

For the 99% of the American People, unfortunately, we don't have the power we think we have as to how our tax dollars are spent. The wealthy do, and they don't want those dollars spent on the American People.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Any company who employs someone on SNAP should right this minute be preparing to set up food banks for those employees.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It's voting time!

PLEASE VOTE even in your small town elections for fire chief and school boards.

That's where the facist cockroaches first get into power because YOU were not using your vote!

It's your most important constitutional right.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
