The cover of Rebecca Solnit's book Hope in the Dark, 2016 edition.
This is the book we will be discussing in tomorrow's book club meeting here in Gallup.
If you want to read something that will carry you through the dark times and inspire you to keep up the fight for a better society, this book is an excellent place to start.
Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do soโฆand which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.
The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.
I think we found out why Donald Trump is so obsessed with Greenland.

Let the majority of voters decide. Period.
"But with Republicans confronting difficult midterm election(s), G.O.P. proponents... are now openly saying they cannot maintain control of Congress if they fail to enact the bill."
Let me fix this: "They cannot maintain control of Congress if they don't suppress MILLIONS OF VALID VOTES."
When oligarchs talk of โpersonal liberties and free marketsโ they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of โfreedom,โ what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Know the truth.
This kind of hard-hitting journalism is why I love to listen to The Daily Beans every morning as I have breakfast and prepare to leave for work.
Thank you for this hilarious news.

...what does he plan for the ship to do? Not vaccinate them? Give them measles?
The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didnโt care.
Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.
He never returned to her that day.

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to her and Jeffrey Epstein, saying the Transparency Act used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional.
Now we definitely have to see them..
I wholeheartedly agree.

The same lies and propaganda over and over
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

Compared to Clinton and Harris, both divisive to the right and left, AOC is not a risk. Her message resonates.
Sorry, Justice Jackson.
It has been the seat of criminality since January 20, 2025.
Two years ago it sold for $29 million. It's worth far less than $50 million. This is money laundering by purchasing a concentration camp site.

AOC is clearly the best candidate the Democratic party has. She articulates what people are feeling and supports solutions that have worked everywhere they have been tried, but haven't been tried in the US because greed has outweighed reason here.
Let's make sense common again!
Trump and RFK abandoning a ban on artificial colors in our food is the perfect opportunity to reengage some of the MAHA folks we lost in 2024. Democrats need to retake health from these con artists immediately. Itโs a winning issue, IMHO.

By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications.

Les Wexner is not a credible witness. Not only did his attorney try to shut it down, but Wexner claimed he didnโt know Epstein well, and DOJ never contacted him.
Well, sir, that is a lie. We have the receipts. โฌ๏ธ Say it with me: this is a cover-up.
