The election to retain Pennsylvania's three Democratic Supreme Court Justices is one of the most critical this year. Repubs have spent millions trying to oust them. Vote YES to retain judges who will respect the constitution.

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

The GOP/MAGATs calling the upcoming NO KINGS Protest a hate protest, anti American has just fueled my enthusiasm to protest. These clowns know it is going to be huge!

Meet Portland Port Commission President Katy Coba—the woman telling Kristi Noem and DHS to take their propaganda elsewhere. Portland Airport refused to air Noem’s blame-Democrats video. That’s what defending democracy looks like. Give her the credit she deserves.

Apparently protecting US citizens from flooding is DEI.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”
