STFU Where’s the Evidence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Too many “conversations” with Trumpers are based on their perception of reality, which is quite different from actual reality. Heading into the final stretch for the 2026 midterms we should all feel comfortable demanding proof for their outrageous claims. Some examples come to mind more readily than others, so here are some to get us started - feel free to add more in the Comments.ShareSTFU - the e
What Agenda? (opens the original)
