If you live in Newton or Jasper County, there is a question on your April 7 ballot that looks like a property tax break. It is not. It is a funding trap — and if it passes, the services your community depends on every single day will pay the price. The measure is tied to Missouri Senate Bill 3, passed in a special legislative session in June 2025. It sounds simple. It is not. And that is exactly the problem. Vote NO on April 7. Here's why....

We need to stop using the word "controversial" to describe what is happening in Iran. What is happening is not controversial. It is not a policy disagreement. It is not a matter of perspective. What is happening, what is being threatened openly, brazenly, by the President of the United States, has a name. It is called a war crime.

An Opinion Editorial This morning, on Easter Sunday — the holiest day on the Christian calendar — the President of the United States woke up and posted this to Truth Social: " Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP " Read that again. Slowly. A 79-year-old president, on Ea

Let us be precise. This is not a blog about immigration policy. This is not a blog about crime statistics. This is not a blog about border security or economic anxiety or any of the other euphemisms Amerikkka uses when it does not want to say the word out loud... Racism.

The Jasper County Municipal General Election is this Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Polls are open 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. If you are white, you have something many of your neighbors, coworkers, and fellow Americans do not have right now: the ability to walk into a polling place without fear. Not because you are more of a citizen. Not because you have more rights. But because of the color of your skin and because this Regime has made it very clear that it intends to use that fear as a

If you've been watching the news lately — the No Kings protests, the mail-in voting executive order, the war in Iran, the treason charges being debated in legal circles — you may be feeling what a lot of people are feeling right now: the urgency to do something, combined with the exhaustion of not knowing where to start. Tonight is a place to start. Join us on Zoom for Together Across America.

On the evening of March 31, 2026 — the same day eight million Americans were still celebrating the largest protest in U.S. history — Donold †rump signed an executive order targeting the way Americans vote. Not the way undocumented people vote. The way you vote. The way your neighbor votes. The way your grandmother votes from her assisted living facility.

The word treason is not thrown around lightly in this article. It is the only crime specifically defined in the United States Constitution, deliberately written narrowly by the Founders to prevent it from becoming a political weapon. That precision was intentional. And it cuts both ways. When the case fits, it fits unambiguously. We begin with January 6, 2021. We do not end there.

A note from longtime organizer and friend Robin McGehee — who has spent decades on the front lines of justice, from fighting for marriage equality to marching on Washington with the National Equality March.

The signatures have been counted. The votes have been cast. The bombs are still falling. And this Saturday, March 28, millions of Americans stood up and said: enough.

Since January 2025, independent researchers and global democracy watchdogs have documented an unprecedented erosion of American democratic institutions — and are now asking a question the Founders never wanted asked lightly: does systematically dismantling the constitutional order constitute treason?

Voting under threat is real. Here's how you can help protect it. If you've been watching the news, you know the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be unlike any in recent memory. Steve Bannon has publicly called for IÇE agents to "surround the polls." †rump officials have refused to explicitly rule it out. IÇE has been deployed to airports, and with Bannon openly describing it as a "test run" for Election Day. Whether or not IÇE actually shows up at polling places, the threat it

This Saturday, March 28, we take to the streets as part of what is expected to be the largest single day of nonviolent protest in American history. Before we share the details for our Joplin gathering, we want to make sure you know exactly what is at stake. Please read what follows. It is important. It is real. And it is why we cannot afford to stay home.

"We're the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating." — DONALD TRUMP, MEMPHIS CRIME ROUNDTABLE, MARCH 23, 2026 ⚠ FALSE

In 2012, a small group of political scientists at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden set out to build the most rigorous global dataset on democracy ever constructed. They called it the Varieties of Democracy Institute, or V-Dem. At the time, global democracy was near its historic peak. Their colleagues called them alarmists. The data, they said, was exaggerating the risk. Democracy was fine. The data was not exaggerating.

Last night, while most of America slept, the Federal Communications Commission approved the $6.2 billion merger of Nexstar Media Group and Tegna. The deal closed. It is done. A single company now controls 265 television stations across 44 states and the District of Columbia. One company. 80% of American households. ... Gone. Not gone in the sense that the stations disappeared. Gone in the sense that the independence is over.

The free press is not a partisan issue. It is the infrastructure of democracy, and it is being dismantled, right now, in real time and in plain sight. There is a moment in every authoritarian takeover when people look back and ask: why did no one say anything? Why did no one sound the alarm before it was too late?

The petition fell short. The fight didn't. The signatures have been counted, and the result is hard to sit with. The Joplin Sustainable Technology Alliance collected approximately 2,800 signatures — more than half of what was needed, but not enough. The Joplin City Council certified the petitions as insufficient on March 17, 2026. The effort to force a public ballot vote on the Wildwood Ranch data center has, for now, come up short. That's the honest truth. But here's what el

From a Fox Business confession in August 2020 to a bill now moving through the United States Senate, this is the documented record of one man's systematic campaign to eliminate the voting method that threatens his party's grip on power — and why November 2026 is the deadline to stop it.

Sixteen days into an unauthorized war with no exit strategy, 200+ U.S. troops injured across seven countries, oil at $105 a barrel, every major ally refusing to help — and a president who says he might bomb Iran "just for fun" and wants to "take Cuba." The 25th Amendment was written for exactly this moment. Here is the case, the process, and exactly what you can do today.
