Seeing photos and/or videos of the protesters in various parts of our country are rejuvenating and invigorating at the same time. Almost like being there.

Not full time, but i was here a lot, except for the year of Covid. I understand there were serious protests then, but not since.

Yes Trump and Musk make me nauseous, but, I am furious at all the Republicans who are sheep driven to their place off the cliff - and they don't even see it. They need to get a set of ....., or step out of the way.

It's not as bad as the news would have you believe. We are outnumbered in this state, but there are plenty of us.

The. Trump is fulfilling Project 2025. Fast and furious, creating chaos, fears, exhaustion. But that is exactly their plan. Keep us in chaos. This is what project 2025 architect created and wanted. You need to look up him - Russell Vought, and Trump made him director of OPM. It should scare you,make you put aside party, unite w all non billionaires to fight back. This fight is not R vs D. It's oligarchs vs working class, totalitarianism vs Constitutional government

It's uplifting to see so many people out protesting and fighting back. It gives hope and strengthens others to protest, fight for our rights and democracy.

Exactly. That's why it's irrelevant that the fascists may not seem to care. Right now, this is more about us.

Nice. Now vote. And get others to vote. No matter how difficult DeStalin and his merry band of fascists have made it.

Vote. And most of all, send a message and vote out every single republican.

Every single one.

Do you think Trump gives a shit? Do you think Putin cares that Russia hates him? They got what they want. POWER. And these Magat morons and whatever the Russian equivalent is, gave it to them. Millions will die taking it back.
