Nodding loudly.
I'll be curious to watch the upcoming @indivisible.org online sessions to see what they roll out on a national level.
Protests energize people and prepare them for acts of non-compliance. The solidarity and morale boost isn't nothing. Knowing you're not alone isn't nothing.
3.5% need to engage in sustained non-compliance. And how do you bring people to non-compliance? You energize them with rallies and protests!
I hope more folks check in with the previous #OneMillionRising sessions on non-compliance. Because we gotta go after those pillars of autocracy.

One Million Rising — No Kings

This (the music) was the superior form of sabotage.
And THIS is why protests are important. Because they bring big numbers to the next step.
This newcast is from the 1st No Kings.
I was absolutely crushed to not be able to attend today (I sent 2 people in my place!), but social media is joyous right now. Thank you, ALL!

As far as counter-offer goes, I believe the ball is in the GOP's court.
It's hard to watch, no doubt about it.
I think a point of contention is to get a concession that the GOP actually has to adhere to, rather than having the GOP say "yeah, sure" and then canx it by rescission. So that PART of it feels very all/nothing.
Welp, have them discuss with the GOP.
If he does, I hope he uses a VPN!

Not my wheel house **AT ALL,** but can the AZ Atty Ag sue on behalf of her constituents?
I put this in a "both things can be true" category. Do I say those things in my head, and maybe to people in my closest circle? Well, yes. But do I really believe our actions should be driven by that same anger? No. Because it doesn't serve anyone.
