Retired educator fighting truth decay: proud member of the Re-sisterhood; wife, mom, grandma, writer; she/her/hers Remember the first lesson from "On Tyranny"--Do not obey in advance.

“In the end, it doesn’t matter which district Rep. Kevin Kiley considers worthy of his candidacy. No amount of carefully worded interviews, performative media appearances, aggrieved social media posts, or false veneer of moderation will change his voting record.” Kudos @smithbarbv.bsky.social 🌟

This is what dictators do! They use the people’s government to line their own pocket & family with grift, corruption, & bribes! Felon is preparing to accept a $400 million “flying palace” jet from Qatar! That’s on top of likely foreign money going to felon & his family through their crypto coin!
