WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Yes, absolutely. I volunteered in my town in CT for a number of years. It's kind of a rush, like mainlining Democracy. Fun stuff. And yeah, there are A LOT of rules and you must follow them to the letter.

I would encourage anyone who is questioning the security of our elections to volunteer at their local polls! It’s a bunch of regular people like you and me, working hard to ensure that the vote is conducted according to the rules

The Signalgate report showed that Hegseth risked American lives. Instead of taking responsibility, his sniveling responses were the worst kind of bureaucratic ass-covering.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

It wasn’t enough for President Trump to shut down the U.S. Institute for Peace and fire its experienced staff. Now, he’s naming it after himself—the building is as empty as his promises.
