For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

Update! These calls took me one full hour to make. That means you can make 2 or 3 calls in ten minutes, even with the task switching.

Alert the presses. Oh wait. They already know.
In this Substack I talk about getting RFK Jr tf out of there (action before a 17-Sept hearing please!), Democratic Governors, and the wisdom of the disability community.

Remember, unemployment numbers come out the first Friday of every month and tomorrows are gonna suck harder than renaming the DOD to ‘Department of flyovers to drown out sexual assault survivors & blow up randos on boats’ don’t take the bait.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

California Prop 50, and standing up to bullies.

Also, EPA scientists were RIF'd and #FEMA staff put on leave for defying the regime.

Of course I know exactly what you mean. But if a CA redistricting campaign is the right move to parry the TX redistricting, the governor of CA is the only person who can do so. It's a huge, fraught, costly, urgent campaign and if he wants it to succeed in Nov, he needs to have the political capital.
Stand Up For Science! And Democracy too. My favorite is the RFK Jr "Quack-O-Gram" at the end of the article. Thanks for reading and sharing!
