Abraham Lincoln: “Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government.” The only “save” act we need is saving from those who seek to deny all the governed an equal voice.

Almost as good as this one:

I’m sure the “Gulf Coast countries” will get right on it.

House Speaker Mike Johnson reports Senator McConnell has called a meeting with members of the GOP. #wheresmitch

This heron is undaunted by fast-moving water and uprooted trees. He’s deathly afraid of painted reflecting pools with green algae. #reflectingpoolblues

“The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a metaphor for the Trump presidency.” Heather Cox Richardson — Peeling paint, opportunistic invasion, incompetence run amok, and the result is ruination of a memorial to a truly great leader.

Kansas City shows up for democracy! #wethepeople #marchfordemocracy

True Americans stand with Ukraine. eeburke.substack.com/p/freedom-is...

Who is with me? #StandWithUkraine #NoKings #NoTyrants #NoNazis

This guy wants to apply to cut out the waste at DOGE.

More like 300 when we started marching. Kansas turned out! 15 degrees, windy, in Topeka, where most of these people do not live! Talked to people who drove in from Kansas City, Wichita, Lawrence and Emporia.

In Kansas at the state capitol in Topeka. Good turnout in freezing temps with wind. Our capitol isn’t in a large metropolitan area so most of the people you see drove in from around the state.

Kansas dissenters come out in the cold! #NoKings #NoMusk #NoDoge

So much for improving the lives of Kansans. This is what the super majority hatchet squad is up to. #ksleg

Let’s show up!

The Epoch Times directed millions of dollars in advertising toward President Donald Trump’s campaign and published dozens of articles parroting his lies about the election — resulting in huge growth to its audience and its coffers. NBC reported in 2023. I received this piece of trash today.

Do not remain silent! Reach out and speak out! At @indivisible.org more than 50 Kansans found each other and united to demand Senators Moran and Marshall do their Constitutional duty and check the President's illegal power grab. #standtogether #kansas

50+ Kansans @indivisible.org rally in Overland Park at Senator Roger Marshall's office. Check Trump overreach, oust illegal Musk, vote No on Project 2025 Czar Vought. Senator's staff wasn't there. We took this picture to send with love. @blueactivist.bsky.social #kansas #resist

Nice guys doing their jobs. Senator Marshall not so much.

Kansans rocked it! I'm so proud of everyone. Will use @indivisible.org again to show up for democracy. #kansas

Well, darn! Another gift idea?

Chaos reigns! And he isn’t in office yet. Even the cat is exhausted. #thedonaldfactor

Wondering how women will fare under the 2nd Trump administration? #project2025
