I know all the counter arguments but seeing ads for Oscars and Grammies while Rome burns feels especially obscene right now. What if all that wealth was devoted to restoring democracy??

PLEASE contact Democrats in House and Senate to urge them to NOT help Republicans keep the government open. Voters need to experience the consequences of the election. And, yes, sadly more economically fragile citizens will suffer the most.

We gave—for us—a LOT of money to ActBlue and the democrats over the past few years. We’ve shifted all of it to ACLU until the Democrats can demonstrate some leadership. Start by keeping Schumer away from the media. He reinforces all that normal people dislike about Democrats

I’m unbelievably tired of the daily deluge of alarmist posts: “ can you believe Trump did this? Or Musk did that?” Yup I believe it, am not surprised and certainly don’t need another impotent notice. Just do something or shut up

According to the Contrarian—which I love—there is a trove of lawsuits opposing various Trump/Musk initiatives. I’m incredibly anxious to see if the courts can actually be effective

In the various analyses of legal resistance to T, I haven’t seen any discussion about how the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling affects these efforts?

Where is the DNC in publicizing the consequences of canceling Biden’s Medicare prescription policies? I realize you can’t get sucked into Ts fire hose but selective ads might help?

I’ve been reluctant to lose the history embedded in my Facebook account but couldn’t stand supporting Meta in any way so have finally cut loose
