Almost one third of eligible voters in the US do not vote. Most of the are Democrats. We can, in effect, redistrict the entire country by turning them out. It is difficult, but it can be done and it is not expensive.

When a man gets shot at on Benning Road in Ward 7 by federal agents and our officials are saying they aren’t aware of the incident…

As the unrestrained buildup of energy-sucking AI data centers vastly exceeds predictions, energy costs for Americans living near them are going through the roof. Meanwhile, experts warn about the long-term risks to the climate and economy.

“Tech giants are cutting backroom deals with utilities and government officials to build massive data centers at breakneck speed, while passing the costs onto working families," said the author of a new Public Citizen report.

One of the most joyous feelings in the world is when your local elected officials are happy to see you show up for the small, but vitally important, civic meetings that make a community run. Even better? When they *hate* to see you show up.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.
