If you are unhappy at the state of the country, please show up at one of these events. It's vital to turn out in large numbers that cannot be overlooked. It's even more important if you're not living in a large blue city like me.

Going after "enemies" like Comey. Blowing up small boats in the Carribean. Blocking the release of the Epstein files. Climate denial. Attacking trans people. Blocking free speech. The clown-show cabinet. Gerrymandering. Rigging the numbers at the BLS and the Fed. And on and on and on.

Illegal deportations. Occupying peaceful cities against their will. Tariffs. Inflation. Bribery and extortion. Shaking down law firms and universities. Alienating our allies and friends from Canada to Zelenskyy. Shutting off access to vaccines. Gutting medical research. Ignoring the rule of law.
