@ohiodeladems.bsky.social Great turnout at the peaceful protest Downtown Delaware 7/19. Lots of honks of support. A few disgruntled MAGA folks, and shockingly, many drivers who seemed to be confused as to why people were protesting! What?? Join us next Sat. at noon, after the Farmer’s Market.

Here is some good you can do, if you currently subscribe to the Paramount+ streaming service: cancel it, and take that $60/year and donate it to your local PBS station.
Big Bird needs that cash more than the C-suite shitheads at CBS.

Do not lose hope.
You are not alone.
Most of America rejects this.
The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism.
And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents.
If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping.
Why not here?

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Here's the opening, folks. Good work for Durbin cracking it open. No ALS research cuts, you say? Oh dear.
DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?
RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research
