New protest sign I'll be bringing with me to No Kings on October 18th.

Blue background with a very light image of a sigil comprised of an eye positioned over a key, which is in turn positioned over a heart with justice scales on either side. The words Community, Cooperation, Dignity and Compersion are written at the four points of the sign, and the main text on the sign, in bold white letters, is, "This isn't Left vs. Right.

It's Empathy vs. Emotional Terrorism.

For our own survival, we must protect the empathetic from those who terrorize for sport."

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"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."

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
