Yes, this! It's not the numbers that matter; it's the passion and perseverance to restore safety and civility to our communities and end the cruelty of the current fascist regime.

Florida road crews in St. Pete were out at 3 a.m. just to do this
So many doing so much 24/7 and the huge slowing blocking impact of that is measurable. Proud! But yes to the contrast. Geography: SK is very small and densely populated. Our mobilizations are vast, spread out. Fear: NK weighs on their nat’l psyche and we’re more complacent. But we’re doing it!
Me too. Variation in that I think Russia and China have carved up the globe in advance and see EU as temp. Putin expects from Trump the US, LATAM, Alaska > Canada, Greenland, which will allow Putin to squeeze Europe. China takes Asia, Oceania. I know it sounds paranoid but defensible. Terrifies me.

Got Covid 3/1/20. No tests, treatments. Didn't want me at the hospital. Never felt such malevolence in my body in my life. Lungs filled with glass. Glands closed my airways and I had to sit erect and awake for hours to get air. Sick for 2 years, left with asthma. Terrible idea. Best decision.
Or, as his entire family, in unison, warned us, "a predator."

Onion... Costco... Subaru. Viola!
Got buried under a small pile this wkend (trying to focus on 9/1 protests), despite being a very small account. Supported a Velshi segment saying Congress Dem leads were slow on the draw after Nov and still not polling "inspiring." Thought that was settled law in these parts. Dem faithful pissed.
The cognitive dissonance just trying to unpack that is hurting my head!
Very definitely is
Or negotiating with him
And also I don't think the world has ever seen a politician who openly loves dictators as much as this pos.
PSA: Zohran is putting on a messaging clinic every time he opens his mouth. The Dems that can’t see it are the ones you should really be afraid of.
Maybe political theatre but really readiness to suppress when they do worse things 😔🤬😫😢
Oh shit. I believe (and pray) this will get thrown out. But it's a scary escalation. Won't sit well with vets or active.
We are Chicago!!
Thanks for the very very clear visual Paul! 😆
I've missed it so
Not that I can be objective here, but I wasn't aware of a huge collection of traits that make "normal people" want to avoid us. I think we're pretty nice most of the time, for better and god knows often for worse.
😢
Well, we know at least MAGA will

Heads up Chicago! While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town. These resources will be needed by someone.
Oh god... nICE neighbors! You stay safe too Steve, be careful.
Look folks. Malcolm, you were rude to Velshi for saying Congress Dem leads weren't inspiring Dem voters. This is statistically overwhelmingly true. I shared why I thought that was. Not into the snark or playing grabass. Let's agree to disagree and return our attn to fighting the onset of fascism.
Yes he did.
Or... this was always the intention. We're on The Putin Plan now.

Our nation is built upon religious freedom so... National Day of the Bible? Steve I don't know how you can stand it over there!!! You're strong.
Practicing right now in fact
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938: 1. Banned child labor 2. Established the 40 hour work week 3. Established the minimum wage 4. Established Over Time Pay 5. Established unemployment compensation Three years earlier Social Security established. All under FDR. #DemocratsAtTheirFinest
Their job is to lead. Some legislative / litigative, appreciate you pointing that out. But when a lawless, violent coup is upon us, leading also means giving voice, guidance, and inspiration to the people. That requires visibility. More Green, Lewis, AOC, Talarico, Pritzker, Sanders, Warren, Bass.
Fifflethafers? (Worth a shot)
And in a pinch, 'Shut up you hypocritical mind-fucker' also works.
Yup, by May / July they were coming online.
I pay obsessive, lifelong attention, so that's not the issue. Sincere question: What would you say was Congressional Dem leadership's plan, strategy, or messaging platform by the end of November 2024, for a Trump win? For ex, here's what one STATE was already doing. (Tap links too.)
#EpsteinFiles
No, you were not brainwashed. You were lazy and want someone to blame your lack of due diligence on.
Hating fascism and citing failure of Congressional Dem leadership are not mutually exclusive. To date no visible strategy, messaging platform, cohesion. Led with appeasement, voting for cabinet picks, making rarified pedantic "statements" while LOCKED OUT OF GOV'T BUILDINGS. This needs air space.
I don't blame them for the minorities. But as Republicans have often shown us, a minority is not an excuse to slip into a coma. Long before the election, CA government had a documented strategy to combat fascism, with budget and messaging platform. Congress leaders seem to have had nothing.
Yes people are voting for *new, fresh* candidates. Yes Trump is very unpopular. It's also important to ask why our Congressional leadership has been AWOL. No visible prep, strategy, messaging or optics. Leaves govs, rogue Dems, and new Dems doing the heavy lifting. We *should* be discussing this.
If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
Don’t forget: Nationwide protest hosted by 50501 this Labor Day!

It is! He's def a bumbling idiot. But when I ask "Does it benefit Russia?" his general directions always make sense. Pushing away allies is one consistent thread.

We were never planning to step forward, just pretend to. 'Incompetent'... fair, but we're extremely good at following instructions.

Sometimes think we overlook the real possibility of mental illness in a lot of these MAGA cases. I mean How???
Yeh 4-5 days max on that

See you Monday MayDayStrong.org Fiftyfiftyone.org Findaprotest.info ...and Saturday ...and

Aaaannnnddddd #project2025 rolls along! These fuckin people hate democracy! Beware the 2026 elections, because they're coming for our vote! And they're coming hard!! Totalitarianism is here! Be as courageous as you can and PUSH THE FUCK BACK! 👊🏼👊🏾
Just when I bemoan (again) the lack of privacy in the internet age, I'm reminded of its benefits
#goodnews Can't lose sight of the impact we're having when we work together at scale
In other news about the Beluga Bolshevik, the brain drain at the hellhole formerly known as Twitter is picking up speed. Keep up the good work, @bsky.app. www.smartnews.com/en-us/articl...

Yeh I really see that too. Sold his soul and knows it.
I know we've done this to death but I can't help it. Before you vote for the most powerful person on Earth based on A SINGLE ISSUE, do your homework. There was 0 indication that Trump would protect Gaza except for what he occasionally said on the campaign trail. And about that.
While ICE agents can note in their database if someone they’ve investigated turns out to be a citizen, they are not required to do so. As a result, records are often wrong and left uncorrected even after agents have been told of a mistake. (Published March 2025)

Trump is a groomer.
