Heretic Coffee in Portland, OR has served 2000 free breakfasts to their community in 31 days. This is joyful resistance—breath-taking beauty in the face of the cruelty of this administration.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced via X that she is stepping down from congress on January 5. It’s a Christmas miracle come early!!!

86 Democrats decried the “horrors” of socialism. All assistance is socialism. Public education is socialism. Public libraries are socialism. National parks are socialism. Public utilities are socialism. Veteran services are socialism. Socialism isn’t the big bad wolf.

It’s no coincidence that the degrees slated to receive less assistance are largely in fields dominated by women. This is about gender. Full stop. It’s the patriarchy pickpocketing women for its own gain.

In September, the CR to release the Epstein files needed one more signature. For two months, it sat, waiting for the Rep. Grijalva. Today, it passed the House and Senate almost unanimously. This is why we protest - to march justice forward.

Kids are skipping school in North Carolina because they fear arrests by ICE. Remind me again, how is this making us great? From my standpoint, it’s just making us like 1939 Germany.

Did you know that there’s a massive blackout planned for Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday? Probably not. We Ain’t Buying That November 27-December 1 Main Targets: Amazon, Target, and Home Depot Starve the corporations. open.substack.com/pub/thepeopl...

In the 8 months I have been keeping a weekly list of protests, I have recorded about 30,000 protests. 30,000 in 8 months. And the number of weekly protests is growing.

Now, for some good news... Yesterday, at over 150 locations across the US, veterans and their neighbors rose. In Chicago, 300 marched through downtown. In Portland, they held a silent vigil and left flowers outside of an ICE facility. In Seattle, their banners read, "VETS SAY NO OATHS TO TRUMP."

Congratulations Adelita Grijalva!!!!! Glad you will be representing the people of AZ!

When the files are released and the Speaker Johnson pretends to be shocked, we ask, “Then why did you block their release?”

“She introduced me to him with a clear message of (pause) my… being (pause) with him in the same way that she had trafficked me and brought me to Jefferey Epstein.” - Anouska De Georgiou, Epstein Survivor The pauses tell the story.

A win in Utah!!! A judge tossed a map that sought to crack Salt Lake. “According to KSL, the District Judge Dianna Gibson, called the legislative map an ‘extreme partisan outlier’ that illegally gave Republicans an advantage.” Source: ow.ly/suKu50XpVtS

42 million aren’t without SNAP benefits because the government is shutdown. They are scrambling to feed their families because the President refuses to obey a court order and feed people. Let’s get the narrative straight.

The fight for healthcare is not over. A final vote to end commentary and amendments is necessary before the spending bill will move forward. ☎️ Call your senators, especially the 8 Democratic/Independent “Yes” votes - NV, IL, PA, ME, VA, NH. Here’s info…

Demolishing the White House to make room for a 250 million dollar ballroom while Americans can’t afford healthcare is the epitome of “Let them eat cake.”

As more numbers come in, it's astounding the difference in counts for No Kings 2.0. Every location reported either has a similar count or has doubled. Santa Monica: June 1,000 to 6,000 vs Oct. 5,000 to 10,000 Albany: June 1,700 to 2,000 vs Oct. 20,000 to 25,000

Wait! I thought we were a violent mob of rioters who hate America? All I saw was community-loving peaceful protesters. So, is Mike Johnson going to apologize? 🦗🦗🦗

No, Mr. President, the hour before you bombed Iran was the time for peace.

Dear Outdoorsy Republicans, It’s going to be real hard to hunt, camp, graze cattle, fish, ride ATVs, and boat if your representatives sell off millions of acres of public lands. Just a thought. Signed, An outdoorsy liberal

I never thought I’d see a day when the US government had more with Germany in 1939 than the 13 colonies in 1776.

On Friday, June 6, there will be a nationwide protest in support of Veterans. There are over 170 locations nationwide, as well as a rally in DC. Be there! Share! Support! @50501movement.bsky.social

To put the resistance in context... On February 5, we celebrated when there were 67 protests on one day. This Saturday, there are 257 protests, and it's not a national protest or holiday. And I estimate there be 1400+ protests on June 14. Hope.

My money (if I had any) is on Harvard.

Fear can unite us or divide us.

My son saw a picture of the banner of a Trump hung on the USDA. He asked about it. I shared that bad men do these sorts of things. He asked, “Who will stop him?” I said, “Your dad and I and millions of others will.” For him & for kids everywhere, speak-even though your voice may tremble.

“We cannot let these moments slip into oblivion. They are the foundation upon which a regime can build a monolith.” Read more about this moment.

If we ignore this, we will regret it. Call Share Protest There are 630 protests this week and thousands of ways to help.

Are you confused about the June 14 protest? Perhaps you have seen No 🤴🏻 and Kick out the 🤡? Maybe you’ve wondered who’s organizing them? I clear it up in my weekly publication and have about 630 ways you can dissent this week.

“Indignation can move mountains . . . France in 1940 was unbelievable. There were no men left. It was women who started the Resistance. Women didn't have the vote, they didn't have bank accounts, they didn't have jobs. Yet we women were capable of resisting . .” Agnès Humbert French Resistance

This is your friendly reminder that deafness affects people’s ability to do… well, nothing besides hear clearly. It does not impact their intelligence. They are not “d*mb.” (And never use that phrase) They are people first. Treat them like that. Signed, Mom of a Deaf kiddo.

Day 4 🚨 of reminding us that the regime is creating a registry and still, no one is talking about it. Tag a news org you think ought to cover it.

Our signs are a love letter to America, well, to one another actually.

Yep

Day 3 of reminding us that when RFK proposed a registry of children with autism, we lost our collective minds. However, when Noem launched an app to register immigrants and propaganda campaign to stoke hatred, radio silence. Both deserve our rage, yet only one has gotten it.

We could reform immigration-give everyone an inexpensive, equitable path to a visa or a green card. Instead, we chose this.

Day 2 of pointing out that this administration is creating a registry and is running propaganda ads until media outlets take notice and we become outraged.

My son depends on Medicaid. We’re not “lazy” or “mooching off” the system. We just can’t afford $600 a month on a teacher’s salary to pay for private insurance. We are not the problem. A pay to live health industry is.

A starter pack for the resistance. Who else should I add?

When I worked for a newspaper, the editor suppressed a story about the police because cities are a major source of ad revenue for newspapers. Radio stations and TV stations are running propaganda ads about a government registry of immigrants. No one is outraged. Connect the dots.

DHS is creating a registry, and we should be terrified. A Registry: The Alarm Legacy Media has not yet Rung. Read it.

This week, I have spent 20 hours logging 842 protests, rallies, and mutual aid events on April 19!!! 8-4-2!!! And I think I am missing some because more are being added every hour. Never has lifting our voices been more important. BE THERE!
