I think we're all hoping that our democratic senators and representatives will step up their game and get ahead of the curve balls being thrown at them by #MAGA Hey elected Democrats, there's a coup in progress.

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Engineered ignorance; there is a reason that red states spend so little on education and healthcare—educated constituents will not vote for them. They want ignorance and illness. Just look at the map; the higher the avg education level, the bluer the vote. Identify the enemy. End the oligarchy.

I teach the religious and spiritual practices of the slaves, unfree, and marginalized. Spiritual and political practices were always bound together. They prayed for freedom, on one hand, and used prayers, conjure, the ancestors, magic, and otherwise in their fight for abolition, on the other.

Same and only local news until it turns to DT, then I change the channel. No nightly news. I’d suggest Democracy Now or some other sources beyond mainstream nightly news.

BREAKING: A Wyoming judge has ruled that the state's total abortion ban and medication abortion ban, which she had already blocked temporarily, are unconstitutional. Abortion will remain legal for now, but this is almost certain to be appealed to the WY Supreme Court.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
Headline reading 

Trump Judge Blocks Overtime Pay For 4 Million Workers

The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.
