From a figment of Dad's imagination & Ma's rearing, now a fig, being here now. Puzzling through the rising blue. Betterment is normal. Master reality! H/H/Us
Trump sicced the military on our DC streets. THEIR responsibility was to disobey the order. Military have an advocate. They must use it: girightshotline.org
Heck, I'm not even very active, and all my posts & replies are text or include jpgs I upload. However, one ally has been known to use AI, so that might be a thumb on the scale. Still, it's whack that folks don't bother to check before disconnecting - doing the enemy's work for them.
After reading the NYT piece. We've lived & pursued "his" 24/7/365 strategy for ten years. We pressured CADEM to do it. He courts donors. We hear voters, who increasingly scream for justice. While that can mean different things to differently-hued constituencies, it's the battle cry that matters.
It's not about Schumer. It's entirely about what We the People force them all to do. It's always been about OUR power. Patriots have fought and died to protect our freedoms. What are WE willing to do? Today. Tomorrow. Until we win. #July25
While history repeats itself, and while bad humans have lied their way to power here since the 1980s, our country's structure has improved since 1776, thanks to a document that enables us to change what we cannot accept. Today's task requires our love and commitment for democracy.
You apparently have zero idea of the urgency of today's moment in history. We'll forgive you if you promise to stay out our way as WE wrangle justice.
The Vandal-in-Chief knows all too well that DC voters - who know the Federal Triangle in ways most Americans don't (ask me how I know) - rejected Trump thrice with the lowest number of votes of any presidential election since their initial voting participation in 1964.
It's ok to replace "anti-democratic" with "fascist" now. As with all fascist government takeovers, ours in the U.S. is literally a mirror image of all the others in history.
Then again, this DC boy - educated in one of the nation's best public school systems, interning in federal agencies, inspired by Paul Wellstone, elected public service, the Rule of Change, continuing MoC advocacy and more (you've seen me in the streets), knows that that billionaire is our friend.
Respectfully not worried. While today's SCOTUS Confederate cohort may have no soul, the Founders' one saving grace enables us to address the Constitution's loopholes as their teeth snap at us. We must simply prove, again and again, that WE have sharper teeth. #FreedomSummer
History and their convictions will report this scheme to defraud the nation as just one component of their continuing conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America. We must ensure that whatever justice courts neglect nonetheless befalls them in appropriate chambers of governance.
What matters is that a legal technicality forbids use of our knowledge certain that the combination of Becerra's (reported request for, and) receipt of the max direct contribution plus the PAC anti-Steyer $15M constitutes reasonable suspicion of fraud. The ONLY right answer is to outlaw PACs et al.
Lots of GOTV to make sure everyone knows they have to vote. Win big. Then do the hard work of hounding our new majorities to do first things first: Impeach FOTUS and everyone else they can add to the list. Remove FOTUS (a harder push, but not impossible) and more. Start on more perfect again.
Respectfully, the most important issue right now is to defeat the authoritarian regime that is taking the world's beacon of hope nation back to the Manifest Desperation of Pete Hegseth.
And we must continue working to demand from every public servant unwavering support for the public good without exception. We the People are all in this together. Early voting is ongoing through 4/21. Help Virginians help us all: voteYES.us
We had a similar experience in L.A. on 2/5/25, except we'd previously contacted our meeting liaison, who agreed to meet us in the courtyard outside their office. Good thing, as numerous SoCal groups convened some 200 members to the outdoor meeting. Many of us met our liaison IRL for the first time!
They must quit OpenAI and protest Google. It is time for all honest humans to rise up against AI's human Armageddon which the techbros wrongly believe won't include them.
This is the type of case where deterrence works: Making an example of the criminal abduction - calling it what it is: KIDNAPPING - jailing the suspects and holding them without bail until trial - the DUE PROCESS is the way we return trust in our society.
