The weekend's breakthrough story is one of grit, dedication, and determination playing out on dirt roads and small towns all across the country.
It’s the story of Red State Dems refusing to be quiet, even if speaking up comes at a cost.
I wanted to make sure you saw them. They deserve to be seen.

Friends, seeing these photos of #NoKings protests in small towns in red states....
It does my heart good. So, so good.
If you have photos like that, would you please share? I'd love to start a collection...

About Red States on #NoKings:
Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support.
But we keep showing up.
Don’t count us out.
Count us in.

Definitely good advice. There's a full-day seminar here but here's 2 other points: > Be positive: Don't tell me what you're against - tell me what you're for. > Answer the question, "What's in it for me?" Make abstract ideas (being pro-democracy) into personal benefits (your freedom).

Important point for all candidates. Stay on message, make the message simple and you'll be miles ahead of other candidates.
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

The Trump administration is offering cash to local law enforcement in exchange for "locating" our immigrant neighbors through the 287(g) program.
Taxpayer dollars are better spent investing in programs that actually keep our communities safe — not fueling mass deportations.

A 42-year-old man has died while in ICE custody at a jail in Nassau County - the first known death of an ICE detainee under Nassau custody.
This is tragic. ICE and the County must be transparent and forthcoming as this is investigated and should do all it can to protect people in its custody.

Good. The AG is right to sue the Trump admin over its attacks on gender-affirming care for young people.
Next, Governor Hochul should sign S.4914-B, which will improve the state's existing "shield law" to ensure that people can access and provide gender-affirming care knowing NY has their backs.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org
