What is the Difference between FOX NEWS and PBS? The applause piped into the footage in FOX makes it sound like he is being applauded by hundreds of people while PBS was almost silent except for the music in the background. WHY IS THIS LEGAL?

We have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. To ASK QUESTIONS. And for our questions to be met with handcuffs is UNACCEPTABLE.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

Many Dutch immigrated to America for religious freedom, economic opportunity, and farmland. From the 1600s to the 1800s, they brought rich traditions, strong work ethics and community values—shaping places like New York and the Midwest. #DutchHeritage #Immigration #History #Holland #Michigan #Tulips

The FTC-Meta trial kicks off today, where the FTC will argue that Meta should possibly divest IG and WhatsApp. That could be disastrous for Meta, which relies on IG for a significant portion of its ad revenue—an estimated 50% or more in the US www.wired.com/story/meta-f... via @peard33.bsky.social

One recommended actions we've seen is to start a book club where ideas can be discussed. So we did it! "Democracy in Retrograde" was a great discussion with ideas for how to get involved in a way that best suits each person. #bookclubs #democracy #smallchanges #civics #civicengagement

Hope in Democracy. Hope is a practice. Despair, or hopelessness, kills engagement. Action is the antidote to despair.

Great book with actionable ideas, questions to help self reflect, and examples for how to improve your own civic engagement.

Okay, so what do we DO???

Inform ourselves. Get involved. Make friends. Set goals. Build community. Prioritize selfcare. Contact your reps. Be specific. BE ANNOYING. Have conversations. Involve your kids.

"The status quo isn't going to change itself, and it's going to take a lot of collective effort." You and your community are in it together!
