My local Indivisible group is calling for flags for #NoKings it's probably a good move, but MAGA spent so many years defecating on it that it feels tainted.

We need to reclaim our colors.

This Saturday
BRING FLAGS
LOTS OF FLAGS
OUR COUNTRY - OUR FLAG

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing..
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers.

Young republicans are a bunch of fat losers.
All of them.
Social rejects who found a home in Trump’s racism and cruelty.
The old republicans might not want to admit it but this is what they have done to their youth cause they won’t stand up to Trump and reject his lies and bigotry.
