Hi! My name is Aaron McCall & I organize in California (and most often in Orange County Ca)!

I work with California Environmental Voters and our California Federal representatives to fight for clean air, clean water, public spaces, and a strong & fair democracy!

Follow along for climate action!

It’s been 20 days since Arizona’s 7th District elected Adelita Grijalva, and Speaker Johnson still hasn’t sworn her in.

Meanwhile, federal workers are TWO days from missing a paycheck, and Johnson has House Republicans at home on an extended vacation.

Weakest Speaker ever.

I was writing this on a plane, but I don’t care anymore - and you don’t care either, so it will just have to be “covfefe”.

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 3d

Saddd but soooo true. Like so so so true.

This thread is most likely to happen, this threads solutions mirror failed American reconstruction, failed American desegregation, and our failures from the Biden admin.

But hopefully will buy us time.

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 3d

Sooo…

You created an ordered list, but were supposed to a certain it all happens at once.

Then, you outline solutions that require acts of congress and government collaboration - which historically have continued to not be met, but I’m the problem?

Try again, and be more pragmatic this time.

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 3d

I’d radicalisation is the last thing on your list - are you accomplishing the first 2 things within 2 years of 2028?

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 3d

Honestly I’m gonna fight, but I’m fighting to make sure folks are left alone as we try to carve out a future.

I have no confidence that we will get justice.

Great turnout to canvass in support of Prop 50 today! The response at the doors was very favorable but most people don’t know about it. That’s why contacting voters is so important RIGHT NOW and we need you to join in the fun! #YESON50 💙🇺🇸

You didn’t read the first post. Every additional post you make is you trying to reframe what you said because you did not articulate your point clearly, or you changed your mind.

I understand you’re frustrated,& being challenged must mean I’m MAGA, but if you go back you’ll have proved my point.

The Trump administration is engaging in an unprecedented strategy to undermine elections. From rolling back the federal role in protecting the electoral process to threatening local election officials, our new interactive timeline is tracking it all: bit.ly/3IZMSdG

Timeline of the Trump Administration’s Efforts to Undermine Elections

Together, these actions form a concerted strategy to interfere with elections.

Hey maybe you’ll get to be a defence attorney for Pete hegseth!

In the meantime this entire diatribe reinforces the fact that there will be no trials because the American people are not ready to hold people accountable for these atrocities.

It will be an interesting defence to bring to a newly structured court. As they say, may god have mercy on their souls.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

If you are a true believer, you still have the ability to understand that it is a violation of the law - whether or not you choose to follow the law.

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 4d

Arresting journalists, deploying to another state without request from that governor - allllll Wellll known bad moves.

They have phones, they went to training. Is this a question about their mental capacity?

How many members of congress who were a part of January 6 were removed from office and are serving time in jail?

Are any people involved in Donald trumps numerous attempts to find votes in prison?

Are people being excluded from office and positions for 2020 election denial?

Do you live here?

As much as the voters should have responsibility, at the very least admin officials and people in charge of the soldiers invading our civilian cities should have to go through a process - but I promise you they will be “too political” and we will have to “rise above”.

Aaron McCall @aaronmccall.bsky.social · 4d

This entire shut down I’ve been threatening to write a book called “black women already told you this was going to happen.” But, I haven’t put pen to paper.
