Out-of-work organizer with nothing to do except make trouble for fascists. (And apply for jobs. But that's less fun.)
Teresa Edwards, wife of Rep. Chuck Edwards, thinks it’s fine to harass peaceful protesters, and either she or her husband or both are also lying about the ownership of their McDonald’s franchises. Please help this Thursday if you can so nobody else ends up in a 1:1 confrontation with Teresa!

Make no mistake: Trump is serious about trying to throw out the Constitution to stay in power.
"I'm not joking": Trump again floats running for anti-constitutional third term
"There are methods which you could do it," he reportedly told NBC News.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

If you've ever wondered what you'd do to stop a dictatorship, to resist fascists, to fight Nazis - it's whatever you're doing right now. If that's sitting at home doing nothing but quietly disagreeing....I hope you're ready for some serious self-reflection.
🚨“If this policy were implemented it would block tens of millions of Americans from voting.”🚨
That is Eliza Sweren-Becker, senior counsel in the Brennan Center for Justice’s voting rights and elections program, who described the order as “an astonishing and unprecedented voter suppression” effort.

I've sent this to so many people who have expressed hopelessness, saying things like "but a majority of people will never do what it takes." It doesn't take a majority! 3.5% of the population is only 15% of the people who cared enough to show up and vote against Trump! www.bbc.com/future/artic...
The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
