This post is getting a little bit chaotic and is turning into something longer than I was intending. Following the bizarre temu-tweets of sedition and treason after 4 house representatives and 2 senators dared to tell service members not to do anything illegal, all sorts of other things have been going on, and it's hard to focus on any one thing - which very much seems to be the point.

This video is still causing controversy, and the fact that any representatives or senators would feel the need to reprimand those in the video is ridiculous. I heard some of the death threats these representatives had received and they are absolutely appalling. But there’s no need to worry – Kash Patel will conveniently find a cell phone with a confession scratched into the side, clearly written by a lunatic liberal.

Meanwhile, the DOJ issued an opinion to say that our strikes were legal, but we've had the international community, including allies, say that these strikes are a violation of international law, so it is not surprising to hear that service members are concerned about the legality of orders. Retired Lt. Col. Frank Rosenblatt from the Orders Project told PBS News Hour that it's mostly military officers that are calling in, speculating that enlisted members "are going to trust that the correct staff processes and command approvals happened." That is why they made the video. If our officers were not having to give questionable orders, they would not be having to question them.

Healthcare still hasn't been resolved. It's important to know that the ACA is more than just the health marketplace. Premiums skyrocketing has certainly gotten media coverage, but the ACA also protects people from being denied coverage, charged extra, given a waiting period, etc., for pre-existing conditions. An unofficial full text copy of the entire Affordable Care Act is provided on the hhs.gov website, but it is very densely packed legalese, at 974 pages. I don’t even know what to say about it at this point, other than people need to keep the pressure on their representatives. 2026 is coming fast.

I wasn't able to go, but I have followed a lot of accounts of people that were organizing and attending the Remove the Regime protest that took place in DC. Several candidates running for seats to replace ineffective house and senate members were in attendance.

I'm not familiar with all of the candidates I'm listing links for, but the candidates I'm unfamiliar with a) attended the protest (as well as other protests), and b) appear to be strongly affiliated with other candidates that I've been following. I'm only in the voting district for one of these candidates, but I'll be reading up on all of them in the near future (I can give an update if anyone is interested, but I’d strongly recommend doing your own research).

And I'll say it again - this president needs to be impeached, and everyone complicit in his actions needs to go. His entire cabinet could be the villains in a comic book. No one knows what JD Vance is - his personality changes every time he is applying for a new job. If he needed to work for Kristy Noem, he'd probably shoot a dog. I'm also going to say again - if the house won't impeach, or the senate won't convict, that needs to be remembered when it's time to vote.

I'm tired of trying to keep up with all of the different issues that need attention, and I feel guilty that I can't keep up with everything. I can probably name 5-10 separate human rights concerns right now, plus all of Epstein's victims and the guilty parties, healthcare, hunger, multiple wars, vaccination, AI regulation, education, gerrymandering, the list goes on, and on.

I don't know how many people are seeing or reading these posts. I hope it's more than are reacting because I feel like it's all important, even if I'm not adding anything that people haven't heard before. It's important to be aware of what's going on right now. Someone on my brother's recent post wanted to tell the world that it's better to stay quiet and just accept what we can't change.

And you know what? He's right. I'm going to give up on my dream of changing the calendar to a nice and neat 12 months of 30 days, and 5 holidays for the season changes, and one day for the new year. I don't think I can change that, and it's time for me to accept it. I promise I won't bring it up again.

But as far as changing the country, we can make a change. So I'm going to continue speaking up on my limited platform in the hopes that I can inspire someone else to also want to try to make a change.

Big changes are needed, but the big changes aren't the only ones that are important. I didn't even know about the candidate in my district that I've linked below before tonight. If I get one person to learn about someone in their district because they read this post, I'm going to count that as a win. Also, if you're not already, get registered to vote (if I get someone to register to vote, I'll count that as a win too).

Hopefully everything makes sense. I've been re-writing this over the course of six hours, and the message has changed a lot over that time. It's well past 5am and I have no business being awake.

So with that, I’m including links to accounts and webpages for several candidates, and for some activists that were in attendance at the Remove the Regime protest. Some of the candidates linked were also in attendance.
