Politically active in Wake County, the largest county in NC. Democrats drove amazing down ballot results in 2024 (including Josh Stein for Gov!). We did the hard work. Check us out! Onward! wakedems.org

Yes! The Resistance are the true patriots. We need to wear the 3-cornered hats at all protest. Seize the narrative. We are the REAL AMERICANS fighting for democracy. IDEA: Once a month at the midnight hr, we strike for 30 days against 10 co's supporting autocratic rule (Fox advertisers). NO WARNING!

If Hegseth had a normal human trait called shame, he would be embarrassed as heck. Donโ€™t count on it.

No Kings Day - Where true patriots show up to resist the King & his enablers. We should all wear 3-cornered hats. Drive this patriotic narrative, and yes, at the midnight hour let's strike against targeted Fox News advertisers. We are the majority. We have the POWER! #NOKINGS

"The Resistance" needs to be branded around true patriotism. We need to all start wearing the Minutemen tricorner hats at rallies. Better yet, have surprise strikes against companies that advertise/support authoritarian policies. We are the majority. That's our power. Seize it now!

There must be some SMART JOURNALISTS doing SMART WORK who can look at the costs of troop deployments in American cities, the costs of the Qatari jet gift, secret service coverage of endless golfing weekends, remodeling the White House... maybe enough to provide healthcare for all those in need?

The loss of Keaton is a blow to any fan of 1970s cinema. So iconic.

โ€œIt made my career,โ€ she said of โ€œAnnie Hall.โ€ โ€œIt was everything. Itโ€™s the reason weโ€™re sitting here having this nice conversation. Everything always goes back to that.โ€

The media greats are turning in their graves. Todayโ€™s media simply repeat all Trumpโ€™s lies. No journalism.

Around 14 million Americans are set to lose their insurance over the next 10 years. And out of the 10 hardest-hit states, 7 voted for Trump.

Republicans are holding Americans' health care hostage โ€” and lying about it By refusing to extend premium tax credits, GOP leaders are using the shutdown fight to gamble the coverage of millions of Americans.

We cannot open a government that will shut down people's healthcare.

LONG ISLAND, NY- Today's Newsday article has a stark warning for everyone, not just Latino deli owners whose businesses are being severely hurt by ICE.

LONG ISLAND, NY- As today's Newsday article notes, Latino deli owners supported removal of violent criminals - but that's not what's happening on Long Island and throughout America.

LONG ISLAND, NY - Hard working, community-oriented deli owners, are being hit hard by ICE. They wanted violent criminals removed from their neighborhoods, but that's not what ICE is doing.

As long as the Executive Branch can claim everything is an emergency, without evidence but just bloviation, and the Supreme Court accepts that, our Constitutional republic is good-bye.

It is unreasonable for me, and all taxpayers to ask/DEMAND to know how much Trump's theatrics around fake "emergencies" are costing the American taxpayer? Anyone in the news media up to this analysis? Maybe enough to pay for healthcare for Americans in need?

Canada, Australia, and the UK have officially recognized a Palestinian state.

We cannot be isolated from the rest of the free world.

Iโ€™m circulating a letter in Congress calling on Trump and Rubio to do the same. Everyone should see where their member of Congress stands.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

People on the right and left are sick of big corporations - like media companies - having become such a dominant force in our economy and our culture. Whichever party offers a vision to break up concentrated economic power has the potential to capture a new alignment of voters.

You can try this yourself. Ask ChatGPT how much job creation occurred during recent Democratic & Republican administrations. It's pretty clear - by a long shot - which party has grown the American economy & delivered for workers & the middle class.

IRS will no longer go after the tax cheats who have used aggressive tax shelters to avoid paying taxes. The working & middle class will make up for this with increased taxes for them, or massive service/benefit cuts.

More crazy give-aways to the 1%. The average workers will pay for this, in many ways. Every day, a new blow to people who play by the rules.
