I’m a peacemaker that believes we should “LOVE THY NEIGHBOR(that means EVERYONE)”
Stand up for what is right, speak out against all forms of hatred and discrimination, and unite against the bullies. The bullies win, if we are divided.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Democratic lawyer Marc Elias said his election litigation boutique, Elias Law Firm, has been growing quickly in head count and demand since he launched it four years ago, partly thanks to a surge in litigation over voting rights and redistricting over the last year. www.law.com/newyorklawjo...
Marc Elias' Boutique Sees Rising Demand, Head Count, as Political Litigation Ramps Up| Law.com
The boutique has grown to 62 total attorneys since its founding in 2021, an increase Elias credited largely to redistricting fights at the state level.

Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin
Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.
Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.
