Absolutely.
The guardrails of People Power proved to Herr Miller we'll show up, so he's gonna "need a bigger boat."
They'll distract until winter weather sets in and evens up the numbers in terms of actual street presence.

I cannot stomach the fact that our federal government would publicly and knowingIy post fraudulent images. It’s pathetic and disgusts me how my tax dollars are being used. They want to just kill people with no accountability.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

When they tell you they are loyal fascists, take them at their word.

Vance plays "the quiet part out loud on purpose to create a soundbite thang" like a Mean Girls extra who ain't going to get left on the cutting room floor.

The White House plans to give asylum to far-right anti-immigrant protesters from Europe. No. This is not a joke. It does put one in mind planned terrorism, however.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

I think the sign hammered home the absurdity of the regime's claim that the #NoKings would be paid protesters. It works the same way the blow up frogs highlight the absurd. Imo

That's where you're missing it- one can be left of left radical all day long, but in the national elections with democracy on the line, citizens being disappeared,etc,- not voting against that attack on the rule of law is aiding the destruction of the voting process.

We've seen that not voting or "protest voting" leaves us w the opposition fascist party gets to decide our futures without our input.
The "enemy of my enemy" & "what's best for myself & our neighbors" builds the coalition. There's no difference between maga "owning Libs" & Libs not voting.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
