While we have been focusing on veterans, there is more than one kind of warrior on the ballot this year. Jonathan Nez, former President of the Navajo Nation, is in a tight race for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. You can learn more about Nez and how to lend a hand here: #RadioFreeAmerica

Let's reform DHS, I guess 😒 Reforms won't cut it! We must dismantle DHS, abolish ICE and CBP, hold the fascists accountable, and build something new based on the best parts of how we care for one another. Let's pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Farming olives is not a crime under international law, but occupation and settler violence are. Israeli settlers have carried out at least 160 attacks against Palestinians during the current olive harvest in the West Bank. www.npr.org/2026/10/21/n...

Outside money needs to be eliminated from elections. Only contributions directly to campaigns, with limits should be allowed.
Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Bottom line; Russia owns our so-called president.
Is Donald Trump a Russian Asset & Owned By Putin? Is He Doing Everything Putin Wants? He Is Attacking All Of Americans Allies & Trying To Dismantle NATO Like Putin Wants. He Just Lifted Sanctions On Russia & Closed a Russian Oil Deal! 🤔 The Answer is YES!!!! www.youtube.com/shorts/owB_G...

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.
