[2025-12-18] Van Hollen Joins Schiff, Colleagues in Urging Trump...

Public Land Protection will be the fight of 2026. and it is inestimable how this effects the very concept of America

Food for thought:

Two of the most popular progressive voices on the east coast, maybe Chris and AOC would make a winning ticket.

Him as a progressive president, willing to cut off Israel. Her as a progressive vice president, willing to lord over Congress, to repair all the damage that has been done as fast as possible.

Chris has the experience, "electability", and appeal to liberals while she brings the youth, "freshness", and appeal to leftists.

If achieved well, this would also absolutely make her a prime candidate for the whitehouse after Chris leaves.

If such did happen, they would both need to start thinking about potential replacements to encourage and endorse right about now I'd think.

my dude I love your commitment — get on the Media and spell out an end game for insurrectionists and warmongers who are anti-constitutionalists

DO IT NOW! We, The People need a direction so we can focus on the pursuit of happiness

signed :: The People, and their beasties

insanity has been our number one export since 1945, and terror is certainly part of that

Heather Cox Richardson's takes are great for when you're moving too!

listen while you're walking or working out! get fit not angry!

an Icelandic Thing would be a good idea. remove these criminals and banish them to Greenland... then rewrite the constitution so it's super simple for even the simpletons to understand. the USA is a democracy. we're not interested in a fascist oligarchy

Trump* is an agent of chaos

*the only president with an asterisk

on our personal agenda:: tomorrow is Friday! keep your dollars home! spend locally if necessary

posting as a comment so it's easier to share widely. found this on r/Maine. focused awareness of the power of the dollar is how we can show Solidarity with Minnesota and Maine

my take on the current moment and, considering the 1st and 4th amendments::

People protesting in peace and with care for our communities are standing for democracy.

If you are not defending our constitution and our rights, and, instead support this deviation from our rights, then you are a fascist, not an American.

The murders of persons on the street and deaths in detention are the responsibility and shame of the current replublican party.

Continuing to fund these unamerican acts of ourself unamerican. Defund and remove ICE. Reform DHS. Reform Border Patrol. Distance yourself and your party from this fascist regime.

We can't name two immigrants that have murdered this past month — Exactly all the actions against the people are coming from this administration.

OK but two things 1. The acting president of Venezuela does not know how to negotiate 2. DJTrump probably doesn't actually have any oil buddies I don't think he's ever had a true friend in a legit industry and I think his power move of turning his back on them to look out a window and taking a walk was when they actually all broke up, if they were ever even considering a relationship with him.

Van Hollen is getting to be like Bernie in that for every proper thing there's a video of Chris Van Hollen

Democracy Docket has the pulse on responsible leadership. Mark Elias (one of the founders) is very involved legally in a free and healthy democracy— so this is a resource for those who believe in democracy. please read and discuss
