We can flip this seat. Register to vote by November 3, cast your ballot early from November 12 to 26, and turn out strong on December 2. Every vote counts, every voice matters, and together we can take Tennessee back from corporate control.

The Trump government is killing people & torturing people. They're denying rights, including to citizens.

They're brutalizing people & denying them medical treatment, including citizens.

Tell everyone!

If it can happen to them, it can happen to you.

We must pass Prop 50!
Stop Trump, VOTE YES!

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?

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

Over the weekend, a group of Democratic senators called for Vought to resign, noting: “Vought’s weaponization of the federal government and disregard for the rule of law threatens the very checks and balances that make our system of government work.”

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise.

#AlexAlott was exonerated because the video disproved the accusation BUT was charged with a new crime the next day. jury dismissed original
And the prosecutors found another charge. Watch this video. Get involved

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

Yes! Always #BeRudeToFascists & their sympathizers. White people feel WAY too comfortable around other white people who they assume all think like they do. Shut them up every single time!
