@sykescharlie.bsky.social You are correct - my first thought was "what is my sign going to say, No Gerrymandering?" BUT remember that R's would have ZERO problem w/ that hypocrisy to help their side. Remember R's fussing about SC Justice nominated "only" 1-2 years before election? Then ACB.

I'm attending all three of these training sessions. They are free, virtual, and open to anyone.
Congress and the courts won’t save us. We are the only ones who can save us. Our next national effort is to train 1 million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we stop an authoritarian takeover.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony.

Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

Yesterday 1% of the population protested in the streets. My feet are rested, my sunburn doesn't sting anymore, I'm ready for the next event on the way to 3.5%. Put me in, coach!

#HandsOff #protest in #Issaquah today #April5. Sign waving at Gilman Blvd & Front St, followed by a walk up Front St. and then onto the trail by the railroad tracks up to the rally at the park behind city hall, where our Congresswoman Dr. Kim Schrier spoke.

I think it's actually quite thoughtful for Trump to enrage our allies and destroy our economy and rights, all in the few days before April 5. I bet his moves increase protest attendance significantly #tariffs #TradeWar #Economy #April5 #HandsOff

So do they also have a direct translation service in Russian and Chinese? The last couple of months they have been running no OPSEC like they were Leeroy Jenkins.
BREAKING

National security adviser Mike Waltz’s team regularly set up chats on Signal to coordinate official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza, Middle East policy, Africa and Europe.

Two sources said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least TWENTY such chats.

Does anyone remember who said, "When did it become patriotic to go broke?" Maybe in the 90s? I'm hoping it was a Republican. It seems like this is what the GOP is suggesting as "temporary pain."

At today's #TeslaTakedown, I stood next to a man holding a homemade "DUMP DOGE" sign. A car stopped in front of us, waiting at the red light. The passenger window rolled down, a young woman stuck her head out and yelled at him, "You can't even spell DODGE right, so f--- you!" Bless her ❤️!

@schumer.senate.gov Why are you voting for cloture and the Rep CR instead of whipping votes for the 30-day CR? You are letting Republicans suffer no consequences for their actions. If you don't have the courage to lead against authoritarianism then step aside and let @murray.senate.gov do it.
March 13, 2025 at 11:35 PM
@murray.senate.gov Why is @schumer.senate.gov caving in to authoritarianism instead of whipping the votes needed for your 30 day CR?! He's supposed to LEAD the Democratic party, not DESTROY it!

Thank you @maddow.msnbc.com for calling out the racism and disrespect @msnbc.com has demonstrated against the hosts and staff employees of cancelled shows.
