Today I received another text begging for money (god I hate those and I stop and block them immediately) from another Gen Zer starting another organization to get younger people elected to Congress. This is a great example why Democrats are never on the same page.

David Hogg started just such an organization last year and so far he appears to be pretty successful. So why do we need another organization with exactly the same stated goal? Why can't this guy (I forgot his name already) just join David's organization (Leaders We Deserve) and be twice as powerful?

Fund raising miut really be a good money maker for those running it. Why else have numerous organizations with the same stated goal?

Who will stand?

There is no order to the border

There’s chaos in the states

The leader of the free world is imprisoned with the snakes

Cries come from the land for peace

The reply is cold stone ICE

Gun shots ring

People demand truth over the lies.

Who will stand?

The Constitution is attacked,

The government in shambles

The courts disobeyed

The people protest

Who will stand?

The elected cower

The lies are spread

The Country splits

Who will stand?

The neighbors descend

Whistles blow

Cameras roll

Who will stand?

The People with freedom in their veins

Compassion in their hearts

Strength from their struggles

Who will stand?

True Americans

From the melting pot of time.

Add the targeting and brutal treatment of non-white Americans and immigrants, the execution of innocent protestors, the kidnapping of young children to the sword of Damocles already hanging over the GOP because of household affordability

and we are seeing the total Trainwreck of the MAGA GOP.

We all knew from Trump 1 that he is incapable of managing the federal government. In Trump 2 he's thrown fuel all over his retribution fires by adding utterly incompetent ideologues to his mismanagement.

March 28 is way too late for No Kings. 2 months away? This needs to be done now. Then repeat and repeat and repeat.

The weather is quite brutal in much of the country now which would lower the turnout. Go for it if the weather is good.

Looking forward to No Kings 3.0. It’s past time to impeach Noem, Miller, Vance and ultimately Trump.

The sword of Damocles has been hanging over the MAGA GOP and Trump for 6 months as household expenses for middle and working class families has skyrocketed. Add to this the corrosive chaos of unaffordable health care and NOW the targeting and brutal treatment of non-white Americans and immigrants, the execution of innocent protestors, the kidnapping of young children. We are witnessing the total trainwreck of the MAGA GOP.

We all knew from Trump 1 that he is incapable of managing the federal government. In Trump 2 he's thrown fuel on his fires by adding utterly incompetent ideologues and loyalists to enhance his mismanagement.

His approval rating in the average polls (including GOP sponsored pro-trump polls) has dropped 5 points in the last 6 weeks to 39%. A disastrous % 8 months away from the midterms.

As a result, the knives are out in Trump world, both in the White House and in the MAGA echo chamber. Coherent popular governance is nowhere on the horizon.

All this says we are winning the war for American Democracy.

Let's keep up the pressure. MAGA doesn't understand what is hitting them because they don't understand the enduring values of our American melting pot community and the West's turn toward freedom and equality for the past 400 years. They only understand tyranny, hate and dominance. As a form of governance it always fails.
