@ realtinapeters: I feel it is important to speak out against the travesty we are seeing happen in Colorado.
The Democrats have once again shown that if you do not stay within their party line, they will try to destroy you.
Governor Jared Polis commuted 9 sentences and pardoned 35 people. But the outrage from Colorado Democrats is aimed at Governor Polis and me. They are attacking the governor for showing mercy, and they have put a bullseye on a 70-year-old, nonviolent, first-time offender.
Doesn’t that make you wonder why?
It should be obvious to Democrats and Republicans alike that they have something to hide. It is so obvious that they are willing to continue destroying people’s lives to cover it up.
The real victims are the people of Colorado. The real victims are every voter who deserves honest, fair and transparent elections.
I thank Governor Polis for being willing to stand up in the middle of this persecution and do what he believed was right.
I have always said I will never back down, I will never give up, and I will never give in. I will always stand for truth, transparency, and fairness in our elections.
No matter how hard people like Jenna Griswold and Phil Weiser try to cover up what was done to the people of Colorado, I will keep speaking the truth.
The censure of Governor Polis shows just how radical the left has truly become. And if they are this afraid of mercy being shown to one whistleblower, the public should ask what they are still trying so hard to hide.

The voter numbers in the Massie election are sketchy af, and are probably a preview of the shenanigans we can expect in November -- yet practically NOBODY is doing anything about it besides conduct a postmortem.
If we actually want to STOP ELECTION FRAUD that ain't gonna cut it. The slow, methodical, after-the-fact procedures from the Before Times aren't going to protect us from the no-holds-barred fascist takeover.
I'm just a guy thinking out loud, but it seems to me that instead of hoping people show up to protest if fraud is uncovered, it might be more effective to rally on Election Day and stay there until we're satisfied that the results are trustworthy. Now, maybe it's Election Night or maybe early in the morning after, but the point is that we should show up as the default condition and leave only when things seem right. By bringing this up now, it gives people a chance to schedule PTO if they're able to, etc. And people can rotate in and out as they need to, etc. But I think we need to get out of Reactive Mode, because it hasn't been working for us too well.
Maybe you can bring it up at your next Indivisible meeting.
"Sen. Susan Collins has not attended any Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meetings focused on abortion or reproductive healthcare after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, according to committee hearing reports. During the same period, Collins has highlighted her voting record, saying in a 2025 statement that “the people of Maine deserve a Senator who shows up to represent them every day.”
Collins’ missed hearings included a July 2022 hearing titled “Reproductive Care in a Post-Roe America: Barriers, Challenges, and Threats to Women’s Health” and a June 2024 hearing examining how abortion bans created what lawmakers described as a “health care nightmare” across the country.
Back in 2018, Collins voted to pave the way for the Dobbs decision by confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. At the time, she said she believed that he would not play a role in overturning Roe v. Wade, which he did just a few years later.
Collins has also missed more than half of all possible HELP Committee meetings during her current term. Between 2021 and March 2026, she did not attend 67 of 125 possible HELP Committee and relevant subcommittee hearings.
Among the hearings Collins skipped were a 2024 hearing on the medical debt crisis in America, a 2023 hearing on the childcare crisis and a 2025 hearing focused on lowering healthcare costs.
Collins additionally missed nearly half of HELP hearings related to healthcare issues more broadly, including hearings on substance use disorder treatment, diabetes and obesity."
This regime is in place only because American corporations think it will increase their wealth and power, and the surest way to force MAGA out is to show the 1% that fascism leads to financial ruin.
This is a reminder that you don't need to wait for a general strike to disrupt corporate operations. There are lots of little things you can do to undermine corporate profitability. And while these acts may feel small, they are no smaller than the act of voting; if enough people end up on the right side, the impact will be felt widely. Here are some simple examples for the workplace:

‘Republicans in Congress are pushing forward legislation targeting the treatment of LGBTQ+ students in public elementary and secondary schools. The Parental Rights Over the Education and Care of Their (PROTECT) Kids Act, H.R. 2616, would require all schools receiving federal funding to get parental approval before changing a child’s gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name “on any school form or sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms.”
Another anti-LGBTQ bill, the Say No to Indoctrination Act, H.R. 2617, been incorporated into H.R. 2616. The bill would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to codify Trump’s 2025 executive order that defined sex as a biological binary. It would also block federal funding from schools that discuss gender expression or sexual orientation in any way. The mere acknowledgement of an LGBTQ+ student or teacher’s identity would disqualify schools from federal funding.’
