Zach Lahn has no skin in the game on solving Iowa's cancer crisis because he can just go back to Kansas. The rest of us live here full-time. Lahn is just another political operative looking for a power grab at the cost of your family's health.

Seems to me, reasons for seeking representative office is either preditorial and self serving or in service of the electorate. I do not want to elevate the former. The question is how.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Bunny’s closing message of unity “Together we are America” intentionally included all our neighbors to the north and south. The message being we ought to see the world as bigger than ourselves. How we react to the Bad Bunny show and its messages simply reveals our own understanding of America.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

...) from 9 hours ago states: "Let's open our eyes. This isn't a functioning democracy any longer when – in the middle of a high stakes funding fight – the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition." The second post by Russ Vought (@russvought

According to them, escaping enslavement, teaching yourself to read, becoming the greatest speechifier on Earth & buying your own freedom, a set of feats that no white person has ever achieved, is DEI.
After finding employment as a laborer, Douglass began to attend abolitionist meetings and speak about his experiences. He soon gained a reputation as an orator, and was paid to speak about slavery by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. This took him on speaking tours across the North and Midwest.
Douglass's fame as an orator increased as he traveled. Still, some of his audiences suspected he had never been enslaved. In 1845, he published his first autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, to lay those doubts to rest.
The narrative gave a clear record of names and places from his enslavement.
To avoid being captured and re-enslaved, Douglass traveled overseas. For almost two years, he gave speeches and sold copies of his narrative in England, Ireland, and Scotland. When abolitionists offered to purchase his freedom, Douglass accepted and returned home to the United States legally free. The Douglass family relocated to Rochester, New York.
