"We all remember the “hanging chads” of 2000. Less well-known is how FL wrongly labeled 12,000 eligible voters as felons, 41% were African-Americans&kicked them off the voting rolls that year, which could have very well cost Gore the election."

This is not a joyous holiday-Trump has drained the joy with his indiscriminate round up of people across the US especially if they speak Spanish,wear a tattoo&work at a low wage job, he has drained the joy by firing thousands of federal workers, he has drained the joy by embracing economic policies

For over 20 years I have been turning my wedding dress into my Christmas Dree...she is different every year but this year she is most subdued...I decorated my dress with a burlap tree skirt and the only color is a tiny bit of red leaves that grace her wreath headdress also made of burlap.

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS...U R NOT FIGHTING FOR ACA CREDITS U MUST FIGHT FOR REAL HEALTHCARE REFORM.
Remember the ACA was written by the insurance industry ...the future of healthcare can not be wedded to an industry that puts people over profits (Drug & health insurer stocks traded up when it was passed.)

Trump is missing the humanity gene, he has no understanding of love, empathy, compassion, forgiveness -we elected a soulless human being who delights in devaluing others… but what is shocking is not his amoral cruel behavior it is the fact that nearly 40% of Americans still support him

Why Venezuela you ask? Yes, it is about drugs, but it is about Trump's drug of choice-his addiction to oil. Venezuela holds the world's largest proven reserves of crude oil, estimated at over 300B barrels.

"The mainstream media has thus far ignored the “Donroe Doctrine” that appears to carve the international arena into zones of influence. Trump appears willing to allow Russia to remain influential in Central and Eastern Europe; to allow greater Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region...

I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country-he is a bird of bad moral character-like those among men who live by sharping &robbing, he is generally poor&often very lousy.The turkey is a much more reputable bird,&with a true original native of America.-Ben Franklin

it was an exhilarating experience and we felt like we had made a statement that met the moment-folks were moved. We need to do more of this...we teach,we find each other, we inspire courage to continue to fight..we can't stop. We must remind citizens that we hold the power,we must embrace it&use it.

Baby it is cold outside...now read this Govt. workers are back but not these boys&girls: on April 1, 2025, the administration laid off the entire staff of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP office. These layoffs hinder the ability of the federal government to release LIHEAP funds
