The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

This fake-Christian twerp is such a shameless liar.

Americans think nothing bad will ever happen to them when something new and horrible happens to them every single day in the form of executive orders, court rulings, and laws passed.

Political appointees would have more control over Texas universities’ courses and hiring under bill OK’d by House Senate Bill 37 would give more power to university regents, who are appointed by the governor, to vet and veto new curricula and administrators.

β€œTexas is poised to go further by shifting some of those responsibilities, traditionally held by professors, to politically appointed university regents”https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/24/texas-governing-boards-regents-senate-bill-37/

I cried this morning when I read your words of love and loss. Bonded dog people know that real pain from losing *your* dog. You were so fortunate to have each other.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaidβ€”it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

I agree with this. But it’s not working here and now. Fierceness is required in this moment. Gentleness will get you stomped under the jackboots of christofascism and greed.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
