Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

It’s funny how Voter Fraud was never a Real Crisis for 250 years, until a Fraud became President, don’t you think?!

Photo of a head of lettuce with text describing that 15,000 people were sickened by tainted lettuce because of cuts to government agencies, such as USDA, CDC, and FDA. The money from these cuts went to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. The announcement was sponsored by the Benzie County Democrats in Benzie County, Michigan. The organization's website is shown: BenzieDemocrats.com. as well as Facebook and Instagram accounts with the same handle.

Many different kinds of Trump voters are beginning to suspect that they got fooled. Now isn’t the time to make them like Democrats - it’s the time to make them hate Republicans. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/they-think...

Democrats need to worry less about how voters feel about Democrats and more about how voters feel about Republicans.

Because of Mike Duggan, children across Detroit are now exposed to dangerous and cancerous chemicals that pose serious health risks. Duggan should explain why he downplayed this issue and allowed this contaminated dirt near our kids.
