🌊 Hey SouthCoast!

Today - we showed solidarity with our immigrant neighbors by calling attention to the more than 50 people who've been abducted from our New Bedford community. Each pair of shoes represents one of our missing neighbors.
Our next general meeting is Tue 10/14.

More good work by Greg Sargent

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand (NY), Schatz (HI), Durbin (IL), Peters (MI), and Hassan & Shaheen (NH) did the right thing by refusing to back a GOP budget that would decimate healthcare.

But now they’re under pressure to give in. Urge them to oppose the cruel GOP budget: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

(above an image of a hand holding a megaphone) WE FLIPPED 7 OF THE 10 SENATE DEMOCRATS WHO CAVED TO TRUMP BACK IN MARCH.

Let's encourage them to stand strong & keep fighting for our healthcare.

Question...
"Why aren't we in the streets like..(insert name of other country protesting in large numbers)?"

A thought...
We are...and have been. It is not being covered by mainstream media.
We have to be the reporters, storytellers, documentarians, and freedom fighters too.

We're the ones.

Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trump’s blank checks.

Let your legislators hear from you.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
