History has taught us

Image
  SHARED FOR KEN BURN'S HISTORICAL INSIGHT! I've spent my career making films that teach the lessons of America’s history, examining the crises – internal and external – that we have faced as a nation. History has proven that challenges to our republic are rampant. But now, the democratic values that make up the very fabric of our nation are under assault and at risk of unraveling. It’s never been more important to safeguard our fragile democracy – and to work together to build an even stronger country Alaska’s Senate election is our chance to reclaim our democracy and Constitutional rights by electing someone who understands our history and envisions a better and brighter future for us all. Mary Peltola is the leader who can meet this moment. Mary is running to take on the entrenched interests in DC, to fight for greater affordability, and to rebuild our country. But recent history has also made clear: Those who profit off of the broken status quo will spend record-breaking su...

Brooke Pinto just crossed a line

Image
  SHARED FOR EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE REPREHENSIBLE  TACTIC OF BROOKE PINTO! Last week, I learned that my opponent, Brooke Pinto, posted a nearly 70-page document on her campaign website that included personal information about my father, my wife, and my brother. She also published a photo of our family home — the place where I live with my wife and our two young daughters — at a time when attacks on public officials at their homes are rising. There are lines in politics that decent people should never cross.  This is one of them. This wasn’t a mistake or a minor lapse in judgment. It was dangerous. It was invasive. And it shows a complete disregard for the safety of my family. I’m running for delegate because I believe in bringing people together, solving problems, and raising the standard of leadership in our city. What we’re seeing right now from my opponent is the exact opposite. Whether this was driven by desperation or something else, it is disqualifying ...

Melat’s story

Image
  COLORADO - A RACE THAT HASN'T RECEIVED AS MUCH ATTENTION AS IT  SHOULD...MELAT KIROS FOR CONGRESS! Justice Democrats-endorsed candidate Melat Kiros is making waves and shaking up the political establishment in Denver: Melat surged to prominence after defeating 30-year incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette at the Denver County Democratic Assembly —   earning 63% of the vote and handing Degette her first assembly loss since 1996 . While the assembly doesn’t decide the primary, moments like this don’t happen by accident. They point to something real:  momentum. A growing number of voters are looking for a different kind of Democrat — one who’s willing to challenge the status quo and actually fight for transformative change. Melat is running to do exactly that.  Help her win with a grassroots donation now! She said it herself:  “We hear politicians say over and over that we need bold leadership, progress, and change. We’ve heard this for years. Decades. But they never...

I had to speak up

RFK JR'S OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSAL DEFINES HIS INCOMPETENCE AND RACISM!  ALABAMA NEEDS SOMEONE WILLING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST SUCH OUTRAGEOUS  STUPIDITY! As we close out April, I want to be direct with you. We are up against a tough end-of-month deadline, and every donation helps us keep fighting for Alabama families.   Now, I want to tell you why I’m reaching out personally. A couple of weeks ago, I sat across from Health Secretary RFK Jr. in a congressional hearing — and I had to speak up. When someone in power suggests that Black children should be “reparented” or taken away from their families instead of receiving proper medical care, you don’t stay silent. You call it out.   And that’s   exactly   what I did. Because in Alabama,   we understand the   history and the harm of people in power   trying to decide what’s best for Black families   without listening to them.   And I will always stand up and say: our families deserve respect, d...

I’m not a millionaire.

JUST A REMINDER OF HEROISM AND SACRIFICE ON JAN 6 THAT PROTECTED  OUR NATION FROM INSURRECTION! I’m not a millionaire. I'll be straight with you. Harry Dunn Apr 29 I’ll be straight with you… I stood on the Capitol steps on January 6th. I saw what that mob was capable of. I decided then that someone had to step up and fight back — not just in the streets, but in the halls of Congress. That’s why I’m running —  and that’s why tomorrow’s fundraising deadline matters so much to me. My primary in MD-05 is crowded, my opponents are self-funding, and ads are flooding the airwaves. But I’m not a millionaire, and I refuse to take a penny from corporate PACs — so if I’m going to stay competitive in this race, I need grassroots donors like you (yes, you!) to dig deep and chip in. This race is bigger than MD-05. Every day Trump is in Washington without real congressional oversight is another day he operates without accountability. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people in power thin...

These jackaloons are fighting like hell

Image
  POLLS ARE SHOWING THIS SEAT COULD FLIP TO HELP NORTH CAROLINA TO  STAND AGAINST MAGA AND ELECT A CONGRESSMAN WHO WILL FIGHT FOR  THE BENEFIT OF CONSTITUENTS! Team, we are closer to flipping NC-09 blue than anyone expected. Let me explain why: Trump’s poll numbers are tanking in this district —  even though he won it by 16 points just two years ago — and my opponent has ALWAYS underperformed Trump. That means we can flip this seat.   But we know Trump’s MAGA bootlickers are going to fight like hell to hold onto power. And people are sick and tired of corrupt bastards in Washington who bend the knee to daddy Trump, take checks from billionaires, and then look the other way while their families are trying to keep their noses above the waterline. Unlike my opponent, I’m not funded by billionaires, Big Pharma, or the military industrial complex. I’m depending on people like you to fuel my campaign, $5 at a time. Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way! Maj. Ric...

For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the US, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.” “I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to ge...
