Gavin Newsom is in the process of saving the Democratic Party and whatever remains of decency in this country---and he needs help.

Get off your dead, timid asses, Democratic leadership. Catch up with Newsom and the millions of Democratic voters, who are sick to death of trump's reign of terror. Before all is lost.

Krasnov never plans to leave except when it’s swollen ankles first. That’s been clear for a long time.

We all need to wake the fuck up right now! We're in it. Full on Fascism.
We all need to make a promise to each other and to mankind that whatever is thrown in our way, we will make sure our vote is counted in 2026. Come Hell or high water (and the latter is very possible as the climate changes.) Vote EARLY. Don't procrastinate. Get your vote in as soon as the polls are open. We have no idea what is going to happen. Asshole could turn off the internet. Turn off the electricity. He could call Martial Law and not allow ANYONE on the streets in order to get to the polls. He could call off the GD election altogether!

Our leaders have NEVER EVEN SAID IT before.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
