Thank you E. Paul Bayon, Karlina Ott, Susan Minor, Tom Shaw, Carol Adamski, and Alan Zisser for helping us share the great work of SBSL and OCI and engage with new volunteers. It was a Good Day to celebrate the Good Trouble of John Lewis.

Back at it today making “good trouble, necessary trouble” at the “Good Trouble Lives On Protest & March” in San José CA in honor of the life & legacy of the late, great “Big Six” civil rights leader & icon Rep. John Lewis (Dem, GA-5, from 1987 to 2020), who died five years ago today at age 80. 🇺🇸🗽⚖️✊🏼

THANK YOU, Rep. Sam Liccardo!

Rep. Liccardo to Speaker Johnson, “Are you going to respond to some of the people heckling you here, Mr. Speaker?” as Johnson attacked Sen. Alex Padilla.

Johnson’ reply: “I’m not going to respond to that.”

The Speaker is an authoritarian punk.

MAGA/DOGE/Oligarch Nazi-in-Chief Elon Musk did this today. Twice. At least he’s not attempting to hide it. He’s putting it right out there, proudly and boldly, for all to see and hear.

Freudian slip — Trump just said to a gathering of his supporters in the US Capitol, “Let’s wait ‘til the corruption begins, because it will.”

This 💩 just writes itself.

After 64 years, we’ve been warned … again. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Saddle up. We ride at dawn. 🇺🇸🗽⚖️✊🏼
