Instead of getting overwhelmed and feeling helpless, I decided to take control by taking steps to launch a website and blog dedicated to local politics in my area.  It’s going to be a centralized location of what various city councils, school boards and the county board of supervisors are doing, who is on these bodies, how they voted, information about candidates for upcoming elections, and so on.  I want to make it as easy as possible for people who want to to stay informed about what’s going on locally and to be more informed voters.<br><br>We are going to rebuild our power and our democracy from the ground up.   ❤️🇺🇸❤️

We weren’t paying attention to most of the Biden accomplishments because we were recuperating from Trump.  We were finally sleeping better, worrying less and letting a good man take care of the country.

It’s refreshing to me that you can stand back and take a more intellectual view of what is going on. So much of the other independent media is highly emotionally charged. I appreciate having both sides of the coin. So, don’t stop using the word interesting on my account! I appreciate you immensely, Heather ❤

Hitler and his group of men all imploded, too. Turns out psychopaths obsessed with power don't get along with one another very well.

Spot on!!! I needed to hear Joe Biden was this special. As a disabled veteran I benefited a lot from this man...

The Republican consensus that Trump’s personal<br>attorney should be AG is truly telling in regards to the rule of law.  America is now a shining beacon of corruption.

Biden was right. We need a new deal and a government invested in and making decisions for the vast majority of people not the top 10 percent.

Dr Richardson you are a delight. You calm me with your reason and give me hope; give us hope when we feel so depleted, desperate (me) and lost.  Thank you!

I can't express how much I miss Joe Biden. I thought he was a fantastic President. And such a decent and honorable man. That the country spurned him to return to Trump has shaken my faith in America completely.

Turns out a lot of very rich people don’t believe in democracy because it stands in the way of their money and sense of supremacy over all of us. The Powell memo and deregulation unleashed their fascism. Our biggest threat is corporate America

Waiting tables is a great way to learn about life, people & most importantly, yourself
