Postcard consciousness raising opportunity beyond the walls of social media echo chambers?

Maybe doing something like this before campaign season opens up will inform electorate of issues before everything is Red v Blue?

Reach beyond the noise.
The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

Agreed. But is posting on Bluesky effective strategically?

How do you communicate this to people not in this echo chambers?

Targeted postcarding has worked in some situations. Consider connecting with @indivisible.org to communicate this point more broadly
This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

Postcard consciousness raising opportunity? One of many?

How else can you reach low information voters regularly?

And what better way than postcards to inform them that USPO is changing how it postmarks mail?

Seems important
Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.

Could one of you find the testicular fortitude to ask Trump if Barron plans to enlist?

Ask the same of other MOC re: their children?

Since presumably there'll be a lawsuit challenging this on at least two constitutional grounds, the big question is whether the Supreme Constitutional Convention will proclaim the unitary executive entitled to deprive states & voters of their respective rights.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Almost five years to the day since Trump tried to overthrow the U.S Government, people are expressing surprise that he’s overthrown another and is threatening to overthrow more.

All those ‘don’t take him seriously’ journalists and ‘commentators’ should hang their heads in shame.
