Trial run.

I don't know about New Jersey but California has mail-in voting so I would suggest everyone use that option.

This should become SOP even outside the usual cities; it’s immediately useful activism with a low cost of entry - and until they outlaw whistles, it’s very effective. If they ban whistles, fine. Air horns ahoy.

(Yes, I carry a whistle in Seattle. Better to have it and not need it, etc.)
People in Chi & other places having Whistlemania events (or u can do this solo if ur an introvert!) Buy whistles to alert folks to ICE activity & you can print out KYR fliers & legal info & make it into a packet (lots of places to distribute these incl bars stores Little FreeLibrary etc).

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

This is what happens when your lawyer got all their training from playing a corpse on "Law and Order: Ft. Lauderdale".
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

A lone voice speaking truth may be drowned by a cacophonous enemy. But when true warriors stand together, add their voices to a chorus, the words gain the power to sweep away any perfidious clamor. Today of all days, add your voice, warriors, and sing for what's right.

It is said that nothing lasts forever, and often that is cause for sorrow and regret. But take heart, for it also applies to the reign of despots, to tyranny. They too cannot last forever, so let us usher in their end, let us outlast them.

Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to.

The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time.

I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

Kahless tells us that in the face of censors, of oppressors who would use your words against you even if true, you must speak out all the more loudly. All you do by silencing yourself voluntarily is save them the effort of silencing you.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.
See this is very sharp, but it's the kind of thing that should populate the budget bill. Any illegal impoundment should result in the immediate elimination of the presidential travel budget, for example.

So, an act of violence and now the Republican government, using manufactured information based on racism and testerical conspiracy theories, is going to take violent ill-considered unconstitutional revenge on people who had nothing to do with it?

It just don't get any more George Bush than that.

I asked Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov whether Dems should fund government in exchange for short-term ACA subsidy extension:

MAGA world has a lot of money to pay "researchers" to trawl niche social media sites like this one, and take posts that will provoke enormous outrage and plaster them across multiple platforms.
