"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."

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!

I am left wondering why the adopted such a common sense policy in the first place if they did not really believe in its principles. If they did truly believe, then they would not dump them to Trump. I’m just sayin’
We see you and you are not kidding us at all!

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.
