Ask an “art therapist” if creative expression is good for anxiety, and I bet they’ll say YES! Express yourself by making a sign for October 18! Here’s an example someone posted on Bluesky👇🍃

In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right. When pundits and politicians whip up fear, I ask “Why?” This isn’t patriotism—it’s control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/6ptjreFO

Speaker Johnson has given members of the House a 2+ month paid vacation with our tax dollars. The Speaker receives $223,500/year. Other members receive $174,000. Meanwhile, govt workers may not even be paid. And our military may miss their first paycheck in history this Wednesday. #MDIndivisible

Rightwing radicals are again trying to impose proof of citizenship requirements for voting, petitioning the Election Assistance Commission to change its rules. The EAC is accepting comments until Oct. 20. Please comment opposing the change! www.regulations.gov/document/EAC.... ⭐

There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us. 🧵

JB Pritzker says NO KINGS, SHOW UP ON 10/18

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

This is the first hopeful moment in a long time. At last we have an agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all the hostages, and a surge of desperately needed aid to the people of Gaza. It is long overdue.

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment.

But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating?
Is the regime’s popularity falling?
