"Many never imagined they would be regular protesters at this stage in life...retirees or busy parents who simply felt compelled to get off the sidelines. 'I’m very concerned about losing our democracy.'" #RhRR protests! 💪 #AZProtests @desertdemocracyphx.bsky.social nowfrolic.com/p/can-dawn-p...
Yup. They never talk about this 👇🔥
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!

Trying to level the playing field on the top of the mountain totally ignores the cliff and whole world at the bottom of the cliff. No matter how well intentioned your comment was, it smacks of white supremacy. 'All lives matter' minimizes the message 'POC are mistreated without cause'. Blinders off.
Venting: I feel like Democrats are the kids being bullied and either being belittled for not defending themselves or being punished for hitting back. When does the bully get reprimanded? held accountable? STOPPED? Thank you for listening, or just scrolling on by.
We hit the streets again...trying to track down our very own MAGA Representative Abe Hamadeh #NorthwestValleyIndivisible #StepUpCD8
Yay! IMO Should be standard throughout the country.
They are traumatizing all of us.
💔
Thank you for your support, but please give credit to ---- "The order [to close] came after a lawsuit was filed by a coalition including Friends of the Everglades, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians."
And yet, they are focusing on DOCUMENTED individuals, showing up at scheduled court hearings. Hmmmm
Yes, they did. I was not one of them. Thank you for taking with me. I know you have no obligation to do so. I also know the world's worst problems are due to white arrogance (I'm choosing not to use the word 'supremacy' because we are not superior in any way). If you have any other advice I'll listn
Just a POV from an Old White Hippy.... The term White Supremacy is a misnomer and should stop being used. Whites are not now, or never have been in any way 'superior'. A more accurate moniker is White Arrogance.
Thank you Mark!!!! I'm an Arizona resident and really appreciate your looking out for us!
Yes. OK. I agree. And, where does the resistance against authoritarianism fit? Isn't it the power seat of white supremacy?
Learning here. Am I way off, or right on....what I picked up is that today we all need to keep the goal of defending Democracy in focus instead of arguing who should be the next President, speaker, etc. etc. Or is it something else completely (hiding in my blind spot that I am trying to see)?
Texas voters, Texas removed 100k voters from the voter rolls. Please spread the word and check your registration and re-register if necessary. thehill.com/homenews/484...
I would insert the word racist in between only and Americans. The others have worked for years on more restrictive gun laws. Always the Republicans blocking the measures.
Cool. Just vote YES on CA 50, or at least spread the word if you don't live in CA. Supporting how he's fighting now, doesn't transfer into voting him into office later.
Gavin Newsom says, get registered here registertovote.ca.gov and then 👇🏾
Someday the answer to that question will be certain, and I don't mean taxes.
Proof that waste, fraud & abuse exists....and is escalating rapidly.

"Without fear or favor" I was grateful and confident in that statement. Now I've learned that those words never applied to EVERYONE. That needs to change....but by extending them, not taking them away!
Another good reason why our Military needs to consider if the orders they receive are "defending the constitution" before they carry them out. They will be on the front lines, but think about which way they are facing....
I couldn't get very far into this article before my head started screaming at me "Messaging?!?!? Branding?!?!? Democrats finally did something better - oh, telling THE TRUTH?!?!? I just can't deal with media much anymore. Just me? Am I wrong? Am I alone?
Yesss!

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
“Identify or die”, that was the mindset of a terrified Texas homeowner as masked men in tactical gear tried to raid his house. The intruders ended up dead after a fatal shootout. Police later confirmed they were not #ICE or law enforcement officers.
I bow to your expertise. From my POV, it seemed that Jasmine is more willing to openly fight back and Mamdani is the Democrat candidate-because the voters in NY decided. Vote blue no matter who. I acknowledge that my view is narrow, and others have more valuable experience, and knowledge than I do.
Rude natzis create the passive aggressive hippies they hate.... www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
To put in every school, right 🤣🤣

I want Hakeem to hand the gavel to Jasmine Crockett and endorse Mamdani. He's good, but not what's needed most in THIS moment.
Special Election in Iowa for State Senate - District 1. Tuesday August 26th! Get out the VOTE! "If Drey wins, Democrats would break Republican's supermajority in the Iowa Senate." www.iowapublicradio.org/ipr-news/202...
So glad we've paid all those tariffs so the $ are there for this IMPORTANT project!
Hell ya!!!
Working on my next poster....
Run tortoise, run!
I love Van Gough. Beautiful, and seems to pull heavily from his Almond Blossoms (my favorite) painting.
So glad we (US citizens) are paying all those tariffs so the Oval Office can look so tacky.

Where are we again in this timeline? F✔️A✔️FO🛎🛎🛎
Hypothetically, would you compromise your integrity to gain an advantage? 🤔 WWJD? (The real one) STFU
Thank God! We really need her in Washington!!
I think do too. I think so too.
Out of touch and not realizing it. Billionaires could be taxed at a 90% rate and the money they (you Mark) had left over would still be more money than they could possibly spend in their (your) lifetime. That vs people who work hard, follow the rules, just try to eek out a better life, benefits cut.
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.
BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just released the Ghislaine Maxwell interview, conducted by Trump's former personal attorney, in an attempt to reset the Epstein narrative.
We’ve received the first batch of the Epstein files from Trump’s Department of Justice. Our team is beginning a careful review process of 33,000 pages. We will share additional information as we learn more.
And - totally unsolicited - after they said they were finished with day one: I've noticed that Dear Leader (DJT) has been drug into this. He is totally innocent too, and he is being harmed on purpose by people who hate him. End scene
Per Ghislaine: I'm so innocent. I never saw anything. There was a real hooker/handler named (redacted) that sort of looked like me. You can't find her because she became a real druggy and went back to her pimp.
If these guys are so proud of the jobs they have, why do they work so hard to prevent being filmed?
Us Old White Hippies aren't afraid of naps and know our rights. We also know what to do with rude little natzies.
Well done Miccosukee tribe and environmental activists who filed the lawsuit that shut this down! Thank you Representative Wilson for being so vocal about this atrocity!
RIP 😢
The only way 'they' can get numbers like that is with bots, so they think that's what 'we' are doing. 🤣
Usually I would feel sorry for someone who had that happen to them. But, in the case of Stephen Miller, I'm more inclined to wish they had never let him out. Hindsight being 20/20 and all...
🤔 Do you think Trump talking about going to heaven (for the 1st time ever?!?) is preparing MAGA for what he can't stop from coming out in the Epstein files? MAGA: Sure, he did all those things, but now he's 'saved'. We have to forgive him and worship him even harder.
Amen to that! - We know how he 'assessed' the Mueller Report (nothing to see here)
I am America - this is what democracy looks like
Cautionary tale. It is happening to you.....
Ran across this true patriot defending democracy his unique way. Uplifting and inspiring to me. Maybe you too. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
You are my kind of people. Sisters
People worth admiring.
Yes, please. I'll have some of that deposition.
So you could pick up a protest sign and defend democracy today! That's why. We need you!
So....you voted for Kamala? Yes?
❤️
An idea:
Black Mayor of a purple town in a red state. Who could possibly want to sabotage their schools? 🤔 www.azfamily.com/2025/08/19/d...
No. I don't have a subscription. Only the 1st paragraph was available, which claimed 70M like Trump. Which is only 20% of the US population. That leaves 80% of us disapproving. Not good numbers for him - and that's the message we should be spreading.
After reading this, he seems like my kinda guy.
But.. do they? I know the GOP machine pushes that message. However, standing on the sidewalk with my protest sign, most ppl do nothing, almost as many give us positive reinforcement, and only a small number flip us off or give us a thumbs down.
Amen! We didn't start this fight, but we definitely need to bring it to an end. WWII style (figuratively speaking).
Sad 😟
Quotable!!!! "Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures." 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
If there ever was a reason for a just God to create something as horrible as hell, it's him and people like him.
They are kidnapping our democratic politicians now to force them to sign things that aren’t legal. Free Nicole Collier ✊
Gee. I hope they have enough National Guards on hand to handle any emergencies.
I hope everyone is ok!
Sounds like Trump might have taken a bite of humble pie. Being in a roomfull of united leaders who won't be bullied had some kind of effect. Proof that Newsom is on the right track. I hope other Governors step up too. And ... Epstein files, Epstein files www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
I'm waiting to see if this is verified. We have so many real issues to confront, no time for fakes.
Their friends, family and neighbors will still recognize them. SOME of those people won't support what they are doing. Keep posting videos.
People are People. Takes me back, moves us forward. youtube.com/watch?v=wYNS...
Wait....Marco said on TV this morning that Trump invited all the European leaders...lol. I knew it was a lie before he finished the sentence.
Where can I get one of these? Awesome!
Good Trouble in Phoenix, AZ. Yes it was hot! #indivisible #nokings #Rachelmaddow
Bravo! I've enjoyed nothing more than this trolling since November 2024.
