This is tyranny right in our faces. Apparently pitting Americans against Americans has paid off, because a few Americans are are getting their jollies.

Just remember that Hitler was wildly POPULAR at one time.

Dictators/authoritarians have used the DIVIDE AND CONQUER playbook throughout history.

Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.

AI:
"No, Qatar was not directly involved in the 9/11 attacks, as the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, & Lebanon. However, some sources indicate that individuals in Qatar provided funding to al-Qaeda & offered shelter to a key planner, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, after he fled the US.

It's hard to know what's coming down the pike ... it's nothing good for sure. Many people seem not to be worried, thinking it won't affect THEM. They would be wrong. I'm finding AI a valuable resource.

Not an ACA plan, but the health insurance we're being offered through the Colorado public employees retirement system will be $2650/month in 2026 for 3 people. Who could or would pay that? I feel like the entire health care system is about to collapse.

Why are we letting this happen?

A few common sense laws can drastically reduce gun violence.

There's a Republican state crime problem.

Gun Violence is far worse in Republican areas because they create poverty & love their guns more than their kids.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”
