What I don't understand is people who aren't interested at all in democracy, don't see the point of it, but then swoon onto a divan when there's a political murder or act of terrorism. Do they get without democracy, that's what "politics" becomes? Power, violence, intimidation, murder, terrorism?

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

Imperfect allies aren’t enemies
Critique to build, not tear down
Organize, don’t just argue
Movements win, not just individuals
Perfection is the enemy of progress
Ego kills movements
Plan for the long game
Meet people where they are
Power doesn’t care about feelings
Division is a weapon used by elite
Don’t play along

Check out artist Michael Vigil. Michael had plenty of turquoise jewelry, but he also had pieces made from lapis and amethyst. If you are interested in buying his jewelry, or other work, you can text him at the number on the card shown below.

It would be nice if people actually connected here and discussed common interests. I don’t see the point of just having a bunch of followers. Especially if none of them buy my book. What’s the point of so many followers? It would be better have engaging discussions.

I wish Chuck Schumer would put as much effort into opposing Republicans in Congress as he does opposing his own constituents on social media.

"Make America Great Again "(MAGA) is the slogan used by the KKK as they marched...with them was Trump's father. Racism has been a part of Donald Trump's family for decades...

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane.

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.

This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
