I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

My name is Thelma and I'm old as hell. My story is as #American as you get and I can't believe what is happening to my country. I am going to the #NoKings march Saturday for the same reason those fellas in Boston dumped tea in the harbor. This one is important, love you all.
