A blue wave would be a start. But it still doesn't solve the fundamental problem of getting more people to think critically about the information presented to them and applying that to how they vote. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to defeat 4 decades of appealing to prejudice and bigotry.

This president is the only president to negotiate with himself, in public, and lose collossally. This would be comical if his antics were not lethal and harmful

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Don't follow the MAGA talking points. It's not about not deporting people without legal status. It's about enforcing immigration law in compliance with the Constitution. Without violating people's constitutional rights. Without beating them up. Without locking them up in inhumane conditions.

Everyone has it wrong. The Epstein files have been wiped clean. But they hold them back to distract us from focusing on his growing authoritarian regime. Let's face it, MAGA would say "nah, doesn't bother or affect me" to what is actually in those files.

I wish that we would stop calling ICE undertrained. If their goal was to enforce the law within the bounds of the Constitution, yes, they are undertrained. But their actual goal is to create as much fear and cruelty as possible. Training is irrelevant.

The fact that Trump is on an international tear and attacking citizens in American cities and his base loves it proves this was never about improving the lives of his supporters. It’s about living out their hate, prejudice, and anger.

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Kim Davis is entitled to freedom of speech, as are we all. However, her use of a public office to deliberately hurt people by robbing them of fundamental rights has nothing to do with freedom of speech. She is a symbol of the evil of American radical right-wing christianity.

President Manbaby Vulva Neck has cut off trade negotiations with Canada because they played clips of Ronald Reagan warning against the indiscriminate use of tariffs.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.
