DjT doesn't joke...

If djt thinks that forcibly and violently repressing peaceful protestors, forcing millions of women to give birth against their will and endangering their health, letting military guns be sold to the public freely; censoring any political figures and media that criticize him and handing Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter are funny...
His return to the White House will be no comedy...
It will be a tragedy.

Let's face it...this could be the last chapter in the story of American democracy...

In Nov. 2024, our country will be at a crossroads.
Will a great majority wake up?
Or will the first American despot and his loyalists invade the White House?

"The truth needs to be screamed just as loud and just as many times as the lies."

Brava, Shaye Moss, the former election worker, at her defamation trial against Giuliani. (from The Independent's live report).
Drown out the lies!

'What a difference a day makes'...

If, or when, on 'day one' ... a sociopathic narcissist who praises destructive dictators, including Hitler and Putin; who blatantly flaunts his racism, anti-Semitism and degradation of women and who refuses to accept the election results of anyone but himself...
...discovers that on Election Day, 2024, he has been chosen to represent this country.

What would you recommend Pres. Biden do between now and Nov. 2024, that would boost his general popularity...

and greatly improve his election chances? Besides, of course, as many of us voting Blue?

The holiday of Chanuka is about awareness and light...

As the nights grow longer...and dark threats to freedom, to quality of life and to our basic humanity grow louder..
Keep the lights shining.

It's going to be a fork in the road in 2024...

A. Protect DjT...
or
B. Protect democracy.

It's clearer by the day, one cannot take both ways.

Most Americans...

Most Americans support women's right to choose.
Most Americans support gun control legislation.
Most Americans support the rights of LGBTQ people to live as they choose.
Most Americans want a president who defends democracy.
VOTE!

From Jason Carter's very moving words about his grandmother...

... about his visit to his grandparents at a hospital...

"She was ready to go for one of these walks and she picked up this cane and I looked at the cane. She looked at me and she said, ‘you know it’s not a cane … it’s a trekking pole’ She said, ‘the exact same kind that those women use when they go to the South Pole.’

I watched her walk down that hall with that trekking pole. I followed her and I just pray that we never lose sight of that path."

(The Guardian live report from the funeral)

What would you do on Nov.5, 2024, if DjT is re-elected as president?

On the other hand, if, hopefully, Biden is re-elected, what policies would you hope he begins his second term pursuing?
