In Sandpoint, as well! Join us this Saturday to make our voices heard. We’ll join with millions of people across the country who are saying no more. No more terror. No more kidnappings. No more murder.
I will be there! Saturday noon to 2:00

Same!

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Why No One Knows What’s True Anymore We’re living in a golden age of knowledge — so why is it harder than ever to separate fact from fiction?

2. Sputnik. The US was suddenly not leading in tech.
3. Civil rights struggle.
4. Assassinations ... JFK, MLK, JFK, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X ...sigh
5. Incredible 60s music

You are in good company! Voted for you.

#WeAreAmerica

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Okay, California! Here's your sign. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...

I always listen to TheDailyBeans on Podurama. But I follow you faithfully on #BlueSky!!!

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Annie Andrews Launch Video: “Unafraid”

Pediatrician Dr. Annie Andrews is running against Lindsey Graham for one of South Carolina’s Senate seats. Based on the commercial launching her campaign, I kinda want to move to SC just so I can vote for her. [youtube.com]

PREACH!

I love America.

But if I weren't from here, I wouldn't dare come here now.

A history lesson and a lesson from history. A classic Heather Cox Richardson column of history made interesting and inspiring.
