This newsletter is CHOCK FULL OF good news ! I signed up for the AOC newsletter and will help to hold Clarence Thomas accountable !
Thank you! Times two!
Tokyo, great summary. Legendary sportscaster called it clearly on a visit to CNN Primetime. He called the Republican party a “cult.” That is dead on accurate. Using a true analogy, what else can it be when a pseudo news network pays over $1 billion in penance defaming two entities with a third lawsuit pending for gaslighting their viewers and then continue to do so just to support a person who lies more than they do? And, the gaslighted still keep coming back for more. Keith
Hey Keith. Yeah, I think we all need to realize that what’s happened on the right is that MAGA is not who they’re voting for, but who they fundamentally are.
Thank you for including the link to Americans of Conscience Checklist. For the first couple of years of its existence, I was really faithful about doing all the actions each time but have since fallen away from it. Today I reconnected and completed all but one of the actions. Felt good!!!
This is my favorite type of comment — thank you for re-engaging and taking action!
