February is racing by…

  John, the shortest month of the year has only ten days left. We are just weeks into the Trump administration, and we can’t slow down our efforts to thwart him now. But February is racing by and we are pacing behind our monthly goal. Losing 3 days is a setback, but we know w…

first Roe v. Wade… gay marriage is next

The Supreme Court is packed full of far-right zealots. They showed us who they were when they overturned Roe v. Wade, and if Obergefell v. Hodges gets to the highest court, it could be game over for this basic right.   BREAKING: NEWSWEEK: Supreme Court Asked to Overturn Gay Marri…

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos

We are making plans to supercharge candidates and organizations that oppose Trump.   FIRST: Elon Musk bankrolled a PAC to put Trump in office. Other billionaires followed suit, donating millions to Trump’s inauguration! THEN: Donald Trump bent the knee to Elon Musk and every bill…

re: Elon Musk

It’s a not-so-hostile takeover, since Elon has received little pushback from Trump and his minions in Congress. We face a government with no checks and balances that now serves not the American people - but the private interests of Elon Musk and Trump’s other billionaire backers.   …

the GOP used this trick to win the House

  John, the voting rights of Black people continue to be restricted and undermined. In North Carolina, Black voters were all drawn into the same districts to dilute their voting power. And this is not just a North Carolina problem. According to experts, Republican gerrymander…

Trump on Mt Rushmore?!?!?

Mount Rushmore is one of our country’s most visited and beloved monuments. We cannot add a felon’s face to it. Not to mention, a national landmark project would require a huge financial and resource investment from the federal government.   Do you think Trump’s face should b…
