Just two days to No Kings 2 and we're seeing some amazing engagement and coverage!

We've got safety, parking, travel, and other tips coming for everyone but most important reminder: we're a peaceful protest. There are some great tips here from @hrc.org on how to help us support that goal.

Human Rights Campaign
Peaceful Protesting Tips: Mindset & Behavior

- Stay calm, focused, and peaceful. Your goal is to make a point, not provoke.

- Don’t engage with agitators. Step away and de-escalate if possible.

- Respect other protestors’ space and safety.

- Obey lawful orders. Remember you have the right to remain silent.

We just got a look at the tee shirts we'll have for people to buy (limited quantities since we're self-funded) or order on Sat and wow, we're not spoiling that for everyone but they look AMAZING and we have to once again say how proud we are to be members of the local political awareness community.

Yet another loss for representational government today as the Senate Republicans decide that due diligence and thoughtful vetting of nominees is for suckers. This will allow the president's daughter-in-law to become the ambassador to Greece, among other wildly improper nominations.

Senate Republicans trigger 'nuclear option,' changing rules to speed up Trump nominees

The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable it to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.

Trump summoned Nebraska's legislator to DC next week to join the push to eliminate representative government. Anybody remember the distant past of 2024 when states were up in arms about the federal government telling them how to perform their constitutional duties?

This is embarrassing.

Trump hosted an oligarchs’ dinner at the White House last night. The main course was kissing his ring.

He’s going to take credit for investment plans they already made.

For the sixth month in a row, U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in August.

One manufacturer said they’re just trying to survive.

Didn’t the President say his tariffs would bring those jobs back to America and boost manufacturing?

Funny how those America First policies to justify gutting foreign aid also started making sure America's kids go hungry. Our food banks are already struggling from cuts and will need a lot more support immediately.
Domestically and internationally, we have an agenda that is brazenly pro-starvation.

Ahead of Labor Day, a reminder that Donald Trump fired the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like accurate data that show's a stalling labor market under his reckless agenda.

And now he's installing a MAGA loyalist to cook the books.

Sometimes we must stop and say, "This isn't normal, and this isn't American." When President Trump claims he's the most popular president ever, but orders the National Guard to be ready in all 50 states to respond to protests, what is he expecting people in every state will be mad about?
