1/ We all feel a sense of accomplishment when we approach the famous 3.5% threshold at protests. But it's just the beginning. We need that many people pushing on those "pillars of support" in a sustained manner. That's what the actions in following posts are meant to do.
More on "pillars" here:

If Senators Slotkin or Kelly, or Reps Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, or Houlahan are one of your electeds, call them and tell them You Approve of This Message!

There's a lot of talk about how #CitizensUnited harms democracy. But how much do you really know about it?
I found this educational.

And here we have a crack in a pillar of authoritarianism. We, the people, must convince businesses it is not in their best interests to uphold it any longer.

Finaly (?) thought regarding the shutdown: I think the DEMs had no good solution. Ultimately, I think their biggest error was in their timing.

Bonus points for not just cancelling #Spotify, but dumping their stock as well.
Deleted the app. Sold the stock.

LA, you've got (yet another) job to do.
America, This Is A Test. If we can't do this small thing, we'll never manage the big things.
LOS ANGELES: Spotify is doubling down on its decision to help recruit for ICE, so we're turning up the volume on our campaign to Cancel Spotify until they stop running ICE ads.

Continuing to chew on pros/cons of ending the shut down. Pretty sure GOP never would have caved. Regardless of viewpoint, THE TIMING WAS AWFUL! Not while SNAP payments were awaiting final ruling. Not while majority of DEM base wanted to continue. Not immediately after election success.

Seattle Alert!!
if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

I do agree with the @indivisible.org strategy: Primary like Hell, to get what we want out of our party, then Unite like Hell behind whoever wins the various primaries.
Because 2026 ain't gonna be no time for a protest vote. That much is certain.
November 11, 2025 at 5:56 PM
I have so many feelings about the shut down of the shut down. There is no end to the things to worry about. But one of those things is the damage the DEMs did to themselves. Their base is, rightly or wrongly, *enraged.* This, we do not need. At all.

"Pressure still matters."
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

I suppose we'll end up judging Schumer's call based on how the story ends. Food for thought for the moment.
ICYMI (like I did): Say what you want about Schumer, but we gotta give him credit for having made this chess move.

I kinda want businesses to have a certification possibility: "No AI!" in the way food is certified non-GMO. In other words, options for those of us becoming more and more against it every day.

Burning question re: authenticator apps. I get point of using authenticator app on my phone to get a 2FA code to log into an account on my laptop. But what is point of logging into an account *on my phone*, and then using that *same device* to receive a 2FA code? What am I missing?

Powerful. For the "protests don't do anything" folks: this is a protest *and* an attack on one of the pillars of authoritarianism: business.
Across the country, immigrant families are being detained, disappeared, and torn from their loved ones — part of a growing authoritarian campaign to erode rights and silence dissent.
