1/ Small acts of defiance…✊

Yesterday, my husband and I went out to dinner with our BFFs to a local diner. It was still early bird special time so you know it was filled with old white people.

2/ There was a loudmouth old guy in there talking about Black people but using the Italian name for the N word (yes, it was shocking) and about Democrats and how the country is falling apart and how the Democrats don’t even know what fascists are. This guy would not shut up.

3/ So our friend says loudly, I know what a fascist is and then he asks me, do you know what a fascist is? To which I replied equally loudly, I know what a fascist is.

4/ And then all four of us in unison yelled trump is a fascist. That shut that loudmouth up. You didn’t hear a peep out of him after that. You could have heard a pin drop in that place. But the mostly Hispanic waitstaff were smiling. It felt good.

5/ That old geezer was a loudmouth bully who thought because everyone looked like him (old and white, minus the staff) that he could spout his nonsense because everyone agreed with him. He found out differently. Had he kept talking so would we have too. Old people with zero fucks left to give.

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

One of the BEST protest songs and it’s coming from Chicago.

I want to hear this at every rally,
every protest,
blasting from cars on the streets,
from cozy home open windows carried by the crisp autumn breeze, from drunken choruses at open air bars,
& friends walking home!

Fascism is not welcome here today, tomorrow, or ever. Solidarity is the resistance we need to keep us safe.

Together, we fight for justice for our community and, together, we will prevail.

Indivisible's response to Mike Johnson's stupid comment about No Kings being the reason for the government shutdown.
"Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he's attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that American belongs to its people, not to kings."

The relevant part:

"HIS resources"

Not the government's resources.
trumps resources.
