Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Tim Walz walked into that hearing like a grown‑up; Nancy Mace lurched in like she was chasing a clip for a rage‑bait podcast. She pushed her tired “what is a woman” stunt, and he torched it, reminding her that if he hadn’t spoken up, two of his own people would be dead. Mace needs to be voted out.

All we are asking for is transparency. At the county meeting last night, the Sheriff was largely unwilling to answer any questions about Sumner County's 287(g) contract. If there is no cause for concern, why not talk about it? #287g #abolishice #tennessee #iceout #sumneraid

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
