They want us exhausted. Disconnected. Convinced nothing can change. But Black organizers, activists, and communities fought too hard for voting rights and democracy for us to give up now. That fight belongs to ALL of us now. ALL ROADS LEAD SOUTH.

American voters want to be heard and know their votes count. The Voting Rights Act was meant to protect minority voters, yet courts claim “colorblindness” while weakening those protections. We must strengthen the VRA and show up—vote in 2026, 2027, and 2028. No excuses. #nokingsnolies #thebraveofus

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections." What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” "Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

CBS wanted Colbert to cancel a Talarico interview on FCC THREAT to CONSIDER a rule change? Obeying in advance means Paramount/CBS is not independent media protected by the Constitution. Its the government from which media needs constitutional protection. Truth is under attack by the rich/powerful.

In America, speaking freely is a right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify people who stand up for their beliefs, I have to ask "Why?" Is this about safety...or control? It's certainly not about patriotism. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up!
