There is only one way to fight Trump & the MAGA Cult Morons

We need MASSIVE turnout by all Democratic voters in every local, state, and federal election to override Republican voter suppression, dirty tricks, and legal battles.

No one stays home. No one votes for a 3rd party. #BlueWave

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake you, 'til my tale is told and done
While the firelight's aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow
'Til things we've never seen will seem familiar

Republicans are working to end the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which protects whales, seals, polar bears, and other sea animals. Extra points for killing a unicorn.

I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that The Dictator and his pals will stop at nothing to rig the 2026 elections, including declaring martial law & seizing voting machines for phony “recounts.”

We had best start looking at tactics that deal successfully with autocracies.
