Hope you’re wrong. Our history shows you’re wrong. Survival of our democracy depends on your being wrong. Are you really looking forward to being right?

The litmus test will be when they can no longer be silent but must clearly say NO to unlawful orders.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

One thing Ukrainians have literally shown usβ€”they KNOW the Russians. They knew from the onset that Putin’s military was for β€œshow”—even with weapons, a soulless, cowardly military can’t defeat a courageous, dedicated people. SLAVA UKRAINE!

Maybe you shouldn’t have a system where you can even look up whether individuals have voted or not? Most countries don’t make that information public.

WOW! Did her deluded self or her cohorts think Chicago would welcome lawlessness and thuggery? Her limited intelligence reveals a total lack of knowledge of how our democracy works. She can always set up a tent kitchen. Lack of FDA inspectors means she’ll need to stock up on kaopectate. GO CHICAGO!❀️

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

What is happening to the alderman now? Does he get booked? On what chargeβ€”doing his job? Oh waitβ€”these are lawless thugs. They just grab, detain and disappear people. He’d better still be here!

BTW, is Avelo Air still flying legal and illegal immigrants to foreign prisons no questions asked?

Yes. Thiught he was just a weird hater but having kids and being married to a seemingly intelligent woman was perplexingβ€”NOW I GET IT. Of course IT’S THE MONEY. It’s ALWAYS the MONEY. He’s a bad acting lap dog using the Heritage Foundation and 47 to make himself rich. He’s a con within the con. YUK!

Elections, rights, and freedoms are under attack β€” and America is running out of time to save its democracy. Experts’ warnings reflect a country where voter suppression, gerrymandering, corporate influence, a compliant Supreme Court, and executive overreach are eroding the foundations of democracy.

Oh look the party that screams β€œfamily values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
