Useful advice that we hate to have pass along.

On Saturday, countless people gathered at “No Kings” protests in thousands of cities and towns across the United States and the world. Their focus?: President Donald Trump and his administration’s increasing turn towards authoritarianism.

Even tiny Anderson Island in the Puget Sound says #NOKINGS

Morning forest bath was peaceful and refreshing. Thanks to all who are able to March today! Stay safe!!!💛💛💛

If you live in the US state of Georgia, early voting is underway for a very boring special election--but it's important that you vote, especially if you want to keep your power bills lower in the future. And your vote really counts. #election #vote #georgia #georgiapower #utilities #usa

Great thread by @gregpak.net on the importance of protests. (And again, here's the link to our Beaverton rally and march: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...)

The levy is 45% of the funding for WCCLS! Libraries connect community members with much needed resources! Not to mention free books, movies, games, magazines, digital content, crafts, seeds, tools, instruments, learning toys, and so much more. Please vote YES!!!

If you’re in New Jersey and not yet registered to vote, do it today! Voters have until the end of the day to register in time to help choose the state’s next governor.

Saturday is going to be huge, boisterous and joyful: “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never protested before. This is a place for you if you believe we don’t do kings in this country.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social to @maddow.msnbc.com Please join us on No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Respect to those who got here first.

WTF 🤬 Goons brutally pushed a peaceful protester to the ground and dragged them across the floor.

She has always been one of my favorite actors and style icons. The Family Stone, Something's Gotta Give, First Wives Club, Father of the Bride, and Baby Boom were some of my favorites. #ripdianekeaton

Are you ready for No Kings 2.0? Whether you go to our event in Beaverton or another local event, you can have fun making protest signs with others at our sign making session: washcodems.org/2025/10/10/n...

Library cards are cheaper than an Amazon unlimited subscription And they have better ebooks available anyways

thank god some military person knows their constitution

Do the fools in the White House think that sending goons to the streets of our cities to harass our neighbors would scare us into submission?

Scenes of carnage and destruction on the streets of Portland. Spread this widely. The world must know. 😂

I'm about to embark on a painful journey.....breaking in a new pair of Doc Marten Mary Jane's. #newshoes #docmartens #maryjanes #breakingin

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

NEW: When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts suggest to help you through the external appeal process.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Republicans shut down the government. Here’s what happens now.

Goodness. A must-watch.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Such happy news!

Today, Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as “training grounds” for troops to confront what he called an “invasion from within.” Americans are a proud people, and no one (foreign or domestic) will threaten our home.

You’re not Chicken Little if this totally terrifies you. 🇺🇸
