We must not get distracted or let fear control us. We must all engage locally and do what we can where we are. There is so much that we can accomplish. Seek out your local Dem clubs, activist groups, volunteer groups etc. call your representatives.

Have you ever been a whistleblower?
Have you ever put your job at risk to do the right thing?
Have you ever stood up to authority?
Have you ever used your voice when you knew others wouldn’t do the same?
I’ve done it many times & that’s exactly what I expect from everybody sitting in Congress.

I’ve been involved locally in politics for a very long time. Even with that, I’m very concerned. We can’t just be doing politics. We gotta be organizing outside of it. That’s even more important at the moment.

Threats against Iran aren’t “last resort” diplomacy, they’re a breach of the UN Charter, Jeffrey Sachs argues, & a dangerous escalation away from negotiations that already worked. The Security Council should defend international law & push talks—not war.
No US War on Iran: An Open Letter to the UN Security Council
The current threat of an attack by the US did not begin with any failure by Iran to negotiate. On the contrary, it began with the United States’ repudiation of negotiations that had already succeeded.

There will almost certainly be an election in November, although the republiscum are trying to steal it. But if someone's going around trying to convince you there definitely won't be a fair election, they don't want you to vote. They're either a right-wing troll or a "useful idiot."
if i want water from the sink, i have to turn on the faucet. if i want to ride my bike, i have to pedal and engage the gears. there is a mechanism. my point is that there is no *mechanism* by which elections can be canceled. it's not about norms, it is about how things work.

Any "property damage" occurring during a peaceful protest is 100% committed by provacateurs, easily identified by black clothing and surreptitious creeping around the edges of any gathering. Ferguson was a visual training to anyone who watched and observed.

What is the Christiana Riot?
Occurring in 1851 in Christina, PA, it was the successful armed resistance by free Blacks & escaped slaves against a federal marshal's attempt to recover escaped slaves.
It serves as a powerful example of community solidarity.
