It is going to take ALL of us to get democracy back on track. And it should because we all should have a say in how that goes.

Sub teacher that re-enacted George Floyd’s murder identified as Wisconsin police officer
Man Successfully Travels From Canada to Mexico Using Only Public Transit
An interesting trip, but probably shouldn’t be this damn difficult to do.
Teaching kids about Thanksgiving or Columbus? They deserve the real story
Improving this country includes – nay, demands – we teach our story better. More factually, more inclusively, more truthfully.
Man accused of threatening FEMA workers with assault rifle in western North Carolina
Just a reminder that the Republican party has spent decades making a significant portion of our population hate the concept of a government that is there to assist them.
And don’t try to “lone wolf” this moron. He has pals, fellow travelers if you insist.
This, too, is on the ballot…and has been for a very long time.
100 years of President Jimmy Carter
Definitely worth a listen. He should be the model for former presidents and it is a damn shame he is such an outlier. Says a lot about the folks who end up in the job.
Trump’s ‘God Bless the U.S.A’ Bible Was Made in China
It is always a grift. Trump’s bible – and, boy, are historians gonna have fun with *that* – is made in China. You know, the country we are supposedly in a trade war with thanks to Trump. The existential threat to our economy. Yeah, those guys.
Never mind the whole notion of a sin-ridden politician selling bibles for personal gain….
Speaking of things that should not be, the Secretary of Ed in Oklahoma has mandated bible training in public schools. Guess which “good book” is the only one approved? Yeah, the Chinese-made “Trump bible“.
It. Is. Always. A. Grift.
Sen. Mike Braun said interracial marriage ruling should be left to states
I remember back in 2000, after we got married in Oklahoma, some state rep tried to ban interracial marriage. Even the Republicans at the time thought that was too extreme and the idea died early in committee.
Well, those days are dead. The GOP is coming for my marriage and those of a lot of you.
North Idaho senator yells ‘go back to where you came from’ at Native American candidate
Just in case you aren’t sure where the GOP stands on minorities in this country.
This isn’t a new idiot on the scene. He’s been the senator for the area known for white supremacist enclaves for eight years now. And is a former cop.
Bathrooms with a view: Cutting windows into student restrooms is a new level of weird
Local elections matter.
Remember that.
If you don’t pay attention, you’ll get a bunch of nuts on your school board and those morons will think it is very cool to put windows into the school bathrooms so randos can watch your kids take a leak.
For safety.
Yikes!
