Everyone should have access to what they need to live with dignity. I am very liberal. Grew up in Chicago. I worked in public health. I read constantly, knit and crochet, attend protest rallies, bake stuff, and grow flowers & vegetables.

"Acts of Solidarity and Support", in whatever way we can. That could have been a great sign or t-shirt slogan.

Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

ICYMI: In a win for Arizona voters, the Arizona Supreme Court tossed the RNC's bid to throw out the state's Election Procedures Manual (EPM) and allowed its use in upcoming elections. “The rule of law has prevailed,” said Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes (D).

The NY Times is a trump tool. They know better than to piss him off. From fear of making less money and making the mad man angry at them, they submit even before he asks.

My earlier post about late teen to 40ish year olds at the Pittsburgh No Kings protest as well as children with them with handmade signs. Along with the oldsters like me.

The other side is def ignoring this. Let us not forget they had the momentum last year & still have it (‘Kirk’ effect etc).
We have to fight like hell now to get our voters out. There is so much voter suppression going on & will increase for the federal.

Mike Johnson is trying to pull a Mitch McConnell (Merricks Garland) and deny the Democrats a member swearing in.

Since the republicans make up new "norms," Democrats should just bring her in and swear her in. It will make the republicans go nuts.

MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.
