"People are wrong to say that we have no heroes left.

Just as they have always been, they are all around us, choosing to do the right thing, no matter what.

Wishing us all a day of peace for Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026."

You hear sometimes, now that we know the sordid details of the lives of some of our leading figures, that America has no heroes left.

Sarah, this video stopped dead in my tracks. After listening to you explain the system so clearly, I was ashamed to not know this was going on. But now, I do know. No more wondering why farmers elected Trump.

Giving a big Follow here and on YouTube. Such good work you are doing!

If you've been thinking "How are they gonna run their farms after Trump arrests their workers?" don't worry, they planned ahead for that 💀 https://youtu.be/zdWrHb8b-c0

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.

I don’t know how you can watch will & harper and not come away thinking that trans people who come out in this hostile society are anything but the bravest and most courageous. we need to make it less hard for them to live their truth. they should not need to be so courageous just to survive.

I second these sentiments. Joe was everything we needed. Time to truly unite for Harris. I never wanted this to happen. Ever, but it has. Our only recourse is to defeat MAGA and keep our republic. This will be one of many fights in our future. But if we lose this one, there may not be another.

I've been staying out of the discussion over Biden's candidacy, and I probably still will. But I wanted to express my gratitude for him defeating Trump last time, and for a term that was more productive than many, me included, expected. His deep contrast as a person and a leader to Trump was a huge relief, and I'm thankful for it.
