Our democracy faces an existential threat if Donald Trump is re-elected. The damage he has done during his first term, enabled by feckless Congressional Republicans who put party over country, will take years, if not decades, to undo. Trump has already packed federal courts with right-wing ideologues; fully one in four U.S. circuit court judges have been appointed to lifetime seats by Trump. His Supreme Court picks have moved the high court to the right of ultra-conservative Justice Scalia. It's terrifying to imagine what the federal judiciary would look like after another four years of Trump nominees. It’s expected that during the Democratic primaries candidates will attack their opponents’ platforms; at times the critiques have been mean-spirited and personal and no doubt will continue that way as the competition intensifies. Worse, though, is what’s playing out among the candidates’ core supporters. Examples abound on social media of insults being hurled at one candidate or another by the others’ supporters. That doesn’t bode well for the general election. To defeat Trump in conservative-leaning swing states (the only ones that matter, thanks to winner-take-all and the Electoral College), to hold the Democratic House majority and to flip the Senate, Democrats will need a get-out-the-vote effort the likes of which we’ve never seen. To achieve that will require efforts well beyond what the eventual nominee will be able to muster on their own. But to listen to some activists, if their candidate doesn’t prevail, yes, they’ll vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee, but beyond that the effort they make will be much less than what it would have been. Given what’s at stake, that’s not acceptable. If the losing candidates’ supporters just show up to vote, but do no more, we could lose it all. The only ones who can change this narrative are the candidates themselves. And they can’t wait until after the convention. Democrats can’t afford to let the acrimony between the camps build to the point that the ill will causes any Democratic activist to sit on the sidelines (the way it did in 2016 between Hillary and Bernie supporters.) The way to build party unity is for candidates to keep sending the message to their supporters, “I expect you to work as hard to elect the Democratic nominee, whoever it is, as you will if I win the nomination. Nothing less is acceptable. Do I have your promise that you’re all in, whoever is nominated?” Imagine the power of a huge display of unity at the end of every Democratic nominee's campaign rally. We need nothing less.

Declaring war on a social media platform is an outrage. The actions this President is taking circumvents all forms of checks and balances and directly affect the mental health of millions of users worldwide.

Serenity was entrusted to the care of Alquans sister, Brittany McKinney, who did a most horrific act in shooting 3 people including Serenity, her own daughter and an elder man. Alquan is currently incarcerated in Ohio at Licking County Jail. They are denying him furlough. He is not perfect, but he was a loving father who had sole custody of his daughter and made a mistake but he deserves to say goodbye. https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/local/greensboro-triple-murder-suspect-involved-in-hit-and-run-after-alleged-murders/83-ad36a23e-d3db-4f63-b7a4-b932252014ea

Dolores Clara Fernández Huerta is an American labor leader and civil rights activist who, with Cesar Chavez, is a co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta helped organize the Delano grape strike in 1965 in California and was the lead negotiator in the workers' contract that was created after the strike. Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers', immigrants', and women's rights, including the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, the United States Presidential Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was the first Latina inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, in 1993. Huerta is the originator of the phrase, "Sí, se puede" (Yes, we can). As a role model to many in the Latino community, Huerta is the subject of many corridos (Mexican or Mexican-American ballads) and murals. In California, April 10 is Dolores Huerta day. It is also her birthday. For more information, see doloreshuertaboulevard.org

This cause is important because Father’s are portrayed to be deadbeat because the state takes all their money and doesn’t help enforce their visitation rights. These systems were put in place to help the people and to work for the people but instead, creates a cycle that only benefits the interest of the state. It is important and time we get our voices heard and that changes be made. Shared parenting is the best interest of the children’s. Children need both parents in their life. If you’re going to enforce Child Support Laws, then Visitation laws should also be enforced. Families need to be kept together because it can lead to many mental health issues. We need to break the cycle of fatherless homes. The system needs to put kids first. Shared parenting needs to be the default parenting plan. The OAG should not take child support to the point where it leaves noncustodial parents unable to be able to live. Im asking for help from the Texas Government to let our voices be heard. Don’t tear families apart. Parents want to be a part of their children’s lives.

My sister Andria Berger, like many others was killed and left on the side of the road to die. While the person who is usually drunk leaves the scene and benefits with receiving a 7 year maximum sentence. Taking someone's life should carry a higher sentence than gun and or drugs!

This book is necessary tool for Men and young Men to deal with modern American life and society and personal growth.

A Presidential Impeachment is a most important action in our Democracy. It must be taken seriously, impartially, and with adult candor. Failure to do so is the death knell of our Democracy.

Prohibition has failed! Our Justice System is overloaded, our sick are dying families/communities destroyed, farms and factories empty, 99.9% of all hemp is imported, , our environment is suffering but our prisons are full. For decades Congress has failed to act. It is time for the people to stand up and #EndTheMadness

These Amerasians have US father's and are Americans. They need a pathway to US citizenship.

Hester Jackson-McCray made history in November 2019 with her 14-point win over a Republican incumbent. Jackson-McCray will be the first African-American to represent DeSoto County in the Mississippi state legislature and she will be only the third African-American to represent a majority white legislative district since Reconstruction. That history is at risk of being erased thanks to Republican efforts to overturn the election results. Ashley Henley, the GOP incumbent defeated by Jackson-McCray, has made unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and is asking the Republican-controlled Mississippi House of Representatives to vacate the election results and install her instead. This is straight out of the GOP playbook. Suburban DeSoto county is changing and, like many suburbs around the country, it’s turning more progressive. Hillary Clinton beat Trump there in 2016, Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Espy beat Republican Cindy Hyde Smith in 2018, and in 2019 voters chose Democrat Attorney General Jim Hood in the governor's race. Instead of competing fairly, Mississippi Republicans are attempting to overturn the will of the voters in a state with a notorious history of voter suppression. We can’t let them win.
