Covering a rally representing only 0.08 % of the metro population as a top‐line news piece is a staggering misallocation of journalistic resources. Meanwhile, far larger protests — especially by those outside the MAGA/Christian nationalist sphere — get buried, ignored, or relegated to footnotes.

With all the national insanity, let's not forget the damage the defunding of USAID is doing to our friends in the world. Help fund a documentary...more to come. www.gofundme.com/f/shed-light...

A song that can be your battlecry if you like! Thank you @silenciodogwood.bsky.social for the suggestion!

Telling people to "put aside old feuds" when you are pursuing illegal actions against people who have done their jobs, it wasn't their fault you did something and was getting caught and they were assigned to investigate. You only care about inciting national feuds, if we are being honest. #Honesty

Well, folks...My apologies, but we are scaling down our site due to my eyes and not being able to keep up without other contributors. rescueourdemocracy.com/rod-core/sit...

Especially with the amount of people who will show up for this well-known rivalry...

Thank you so much! So appreciated. Shared. Will be adding everybody on the list in just a moment. Again our thanks!

Couldn't help myself... This is was not funny, I get that. I just want a hot iron to poke him with over this stupid debacle and show of total authoriatanism. My patience is running thinner, day by day. I know yours is too. Drumpf, seriously? You are such a sad, sad human.

Just a friendly reminder to all who have taken to the streets to rescue our democracy (thank you): Stay on the sidewalks when protesting. Do not block traffic. Do not give them a reason to do this. This will only escalate matters. Exert your right to protest in the protected locations to do so.

Originally written a few days ago... My eyes are not getting better...had to figure out the graphics and posted today:

There seriously is too much to try to cover, especially with my eye issues...but I'm trying... Goodnight, Sweetheart Well, it’s time to close Goodnight, Sweetheart Lock the doors, I suppose We hate to leave you, but we just won’t pay Oh, goodnight, Sweetheart, goodnight (Parody lyrics by Judy T.)

Ok, today's editorial has some perks...there is a "hidden" message, a song I wrote lyrics for and Suno put to music, and information about the coal mines problem we now face. #RescueOurDemocracy #RescueOurCountry #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #NOtoExploitingAmerica

Ok folks, apologies for the site hang-ups the past day or so. All translated ICE instruction pages rebuilt. Reposted 2 posts that were missing from the back up. Lost comments, including one which attacked without supporting evidence. Here's the one you've been searching for according to our logs:

We had a site issue and restored from backup, which erased some comments, including one we answered. We welcome dialogue based on fact, but rumors and false claims won’t shake our resolve. We won’t be intimidated—we will stand firm to rescue democracy.

Anger doesn't begin to describe my personal feelings...But those won't help the movement. Maybe this can... This editorial includes links to our translated ICE prep pages for multiple languages now. Please share those with others to help their communities to be prepared.

Boycott? Who? Why?

Eyes are not working with me. Thank @winniegirl12.bsky.social for her weekly summary of executive orders/policies and more! #RODWeeklyDigest #TheMoreYouKnow #VoterEducation #ExecutiveOrders #PolicyPlaybook #ConstitutionWeek #POW-MIA #CitizenshipToHighestBidder

I wish people would stop waiting for a “miracle issue” to unite everyone. That’s a pipe dream. If you want people to come together, stop saying “F*** you” to them for who they voted for. We’re going to need them. We’re going to need everyone.

@joshturek4iowa.bsky.social Thank you for the pride you bring this state. We would love to do a 2 part interview with you to promote you on our site (we do this with candidates brought to our attention by viewers to learn more about, to educate others on your platform stances)

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

About to piss some of you off. That's not a feat at this time. You're primed and ready at the hands of the puppetmaster. Speaking my mind...freely. If you disagree, you are welcome to your opinion...but it's my opinion, so I am right. ;) j/k I'm not MAGA

I just can't keep up with my eyes, but this is some Mao Tse Tung crap here.

🌍 New on Rescue Our Democracy Presents 🎬 USAID – The Documentary explores what happens when the U.S. cuts foreign aid—global strategy, human impact, and lives affected. #USAID #GlobalHealth #RescueourDemocracy #Docunentary

Rescue Our Democracy has canceled the Bake-Off for the No Kings 2 Day of Action on Oct 28 due to a scheduling conflict. #NoKings2 #RescueOurDemocracy

Got my ROD Schwag today! I ordered 4 sample shirts from our unofficial store. The store is to raise funds for our movement. head-guerillas-bananas.printify.me (My eyes still are revolting - will try to update events this week - but I can't promise anything - they like to work when they want to.)

Yes..my conspiracy theory side wants to come out on this, but more importantly we need to take a step back. This should never have happened. We need to re-think our approaches to rescuing our democracy, violence begets violence. That is something we DO NOT NEED in the current political climate.

To the Trump sycophants and regime: All of us aren't as STUPID as you like to think we are. I get that you want it that way and that's your goal. But it hasn't happened yet. There are good and amazing people out there. Decent folks. Protective folks. They fight each day 4 us to get America back.

@annakli.bsky.social Thank you for the repost! Danke! I know that one. I also know En guete. :) Appreciate it!

I'm trying, gang. Please be patient with me and any typos/mistakes made due to my loss of vision currently.

New post. Our SE Iowa Head Guerilla and I had a conversation about Hinson's announcement and irony that she is running on the "America First" platform. We decided we needed to get some information out there. #RescueOurDemocracy #AmericaFirstEqualsAmericansLast

Reason why I can't work on the site currently. My peripheral vision is clearer than looking forward. Weird experience. Anyways, apologies on the site being on a bit of a hold right now.

My eyes are still pretty dodgey. My apologies that I am unable to keep current on new events coming up, at this time. Be sure I am awaiting the moment that the text doesn't do triple vision on me. My peripheral vision is fine, but haven't figured out how to use it to do the site. :)

A huge, warm welcome to our new Social Media Guerilla, Diane! We are very happy to have such a passionate voice join our ranks! In addition to being in charge of ROD social medias, she will be creating informative podcasts for the ROD movement! California, we're coming! California, we need you!

#IOWA #JoniErnstExitStageRight #SorryNotSorry #EndedErnst #IowaStrong We did it folks! Time for chair dancing, but don't lose focus!

We just got a radio request from Judy T. to Joni Ernst, with love! #JoniErnst #Resist #ItsStartingTOWork #KeepUpTheFightForDemocracy

Keep it up, Iowa! Other states: If we can do it, so can you! Do not give up, as tempting as it may be. Recharge and join the fight for our livelihoods and freedom from a dictatorship!

1/2 Health update: Just got back from the eye doctor... I have a severe infection in my eyes, that require me to do 2 different drops 4x a day. I have to put an ointment in my eyes overnight when I sleep, too. I have to go weekly to get my eyes checked.

2/2 He seemed very confident in letting me know, this will likely take 6 weeks to 2 months to fix. I can't say with confidence I can keep up on the ROD site as easily. I apologize for any inconvenience on missing events being posted and the PDFs I have planned not being done during this time.
