We were there too! (I'll be so interested to know how many people showed up along Bell!)
Doesn't look like much, but this was one of seven or so major intersections (along one road in our ruby red suburban district) where people were showing up for democracy this morning! 💛 #NoKings

It’s way past time for Mike Johnson to stop the political games and seat Adelita without delay. Today, my office is sending a letter to Speaker Johnson demanding he do so.

Press Release: www.azag.gov/press-releas...
Yes, who IS funding this? I need to know where to send my invoice...

Because if the GOP gets their way, I'll have some pretty major ACA premium increases headed my way, and it would be great to have some money to put toward that!!
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Mike Johnson really doesn’t want you to go to the largest peaceful protest in American history: NoKings.org
"Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of an elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people." - Pope Leo
One week from today!!

Let's all show up and advocate for democracy!
Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.

Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.

Let’s show it:
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Thank you to all the Democrat Senators holding the line on this (including mine, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social & @gallego.senate.gov) Because of various factors (independent contractor, pre-existing medical condition, unmarried), the ACA is my only choice for insurance, and only if I can afford it!
In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Journalists should never have to fear government retaliation for reporting on government activity, and showing up to work shouldn't result in your family being torn apart.
I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
I urged them to hold the line on opposing any deal that weakens the ACA. I know it's not perfect, but as an unmarried independent contractor with a pre-existing medical condition, it's the only way I have health insurance.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

3 WEEKS away from No Kings!

ARE YOU READY?
This should concern everyone, but Arizonans, especially - pls call and demand that Adelita Grijalva be sworn in so she can do the job she was elected to do!
Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in new members of Congress.

We are long past the "strongly worded letter" stage of this.

Call Mike Johnson's office at 202-225-2777.
Exactly! When I first heard about all of this and went to watch the monologue to understand the issue, I thought I must be watching the wrong one bc this can't possible be the one that he got canceled over. But it was. Insane.
