I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Everyone in Portland, especially, knows to not resist or escalate. Everything is on camera, and it's important to show what is really happening, for when ICE comes out with their outrageous lies about being attacked.
Non-violent resistance is changing minds around the country.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

MAGA doesn't realize they sound and look like weird freaks to the majority.

That's what happens when you're in a cult with power. You get trapped in an incestuous cocoon of insider "jokes," memes, and talking points, not realizing everyone else looks at you with horror, mockery and pity.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.
