We're in the middle of a WAR - between good & evil.

Stay calibrated on Good, & on HOW WE PUT GOOD PEOPLE IN POWER. As nothing will get better until we do that.

Remember: VOTING is NOT a 'nice to have'. It IS OUR DEFENSE against the ENEMY FROM WITHIN.

Never assume Donald Trump's actions are part of an intelligent plan to make something work better for someone else.

Hate is all this putrid old treasonous POS knows. All he ever does is lie to people, promising them things he'll never deliver, and make people hate others so they vote for him out of hate.

Despicable doesn't begin to describe this evil swamp monster.

When Canada deepens ties with China, it's not romance, it's risk management. If the U.S. keeps slapping tariffs and rewriting rules, partners diversify. Reliability is an economic asset; squander it, and trade flows and influence quietly move elsewhere.

Important conversation. But the conclusion understates the case. It is not that handing Russia the huge territory that contains Ukraine’s best defenses would “not necessarily” bring peace. It is that so doing would guarantee a bloodier and longer war.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Mark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Of course. Who do you think Pete Hegseth took inspiration from when he yelled "Kill them all!" ?

Could a Democrat win a US House seat that backed Trump in 2024 by 22 points. New polling says Democrat Aftyn Benn has made it a 46D/48R race. She explains to The Nation why an upset is possible.

The Democrat has a real chance to flip a deep-red congressional seat. In an exclusive interview, she explains why her bid is shaking up the politics of 2025 (and maybe 2026).

“What you have, I think, is that the president's fundamentally lost the battle of ideas. What you normally do with an economic program is you come up with some ideas and you try and convince people of the virtues of them. He has fundamentally failed.”

Well done Ian and Protect Democracy
We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state.

Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains.

Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

Grateful to everyone I saw in Philadelphia and Cincinnati and to everyone who protested — and above all to those who organize day after day.
Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

He was never in the battle of ideas, ever.

Only a battle of ego, money, power, corruption and violence.
