Dolores is very inspiring to this day. I met her when we marched to Sacramento to protest Citizens United years ago.

In his remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump called the UN’s efforts to raise awareness and curb the effects of climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”
PRRI finds 61% of Americans believe that climate change is caused mostly by human activity.

A major study of more than 200 heatwaves this century has found that as many as one in four would not have been possible in a world without human-driven climate crisis.

Just 14 companies were responsible for a third of additional heat.

Tell our leaders: take the Patients Over Profits Pledge.

Our politicians and candidates should reject contributions from health care executives, not embrace their big-money influence and political bribery.

FLARE 💥 Resistance Action Center 💥 @flareusa.bsky.social · Aug 30

🔥With all of the new followers, we wanted to re-introduce ourselves.

Who are we?
A 24/7 non-violent occupation in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol calling for impeachment & removal of the 47th prez. Here since May 1st & we're not leaving until he’s out. We are unwaveringly committed to nonviolence.

An image with info about who FLARE is and What FLARE does, along with information about visiting or volunteering with FLARE. It lists all the ways you can get in touch with us and the “Donate” QR code.

An image take. A night of one of the FLARE tents with a white banner that says “always anti fascist in black and red letters. There is also an American flag on each side of the white “always anti fascist” banner.

A pleasant image of the two FLARE tents at Union Station with the sun setting in the background. The sky is a beautiful light yellow, brighter yellow, and a light peachy color. There’s grass surround the area of the tents that is a healthy green color and it looks nicely cut. There’s an A-frame sign in the pathway between the two tents criticizing the “Heritage Foundation”. There are also a group of volunteers sitting and standing at the tent on the left side having a conversation.

A pleasant image of the two white FLARE tents at Union Station, along with an additional colorful tent were our fellow comrades and friends are stationed. All the tents are positioned to look like the are beside each other in sort of a line formation but with some space between the tents.You can see Union Station in the background. The sun is about to set but the sky is still pretty light with some beautiful white fluffy clouds. The photographer that took the image did so beautifully. There’s grass surrounding the area of the tents that is a healthy green color and it looks nicely cut. There are three signs placed on the grass that seem to lead to the tent on the far left. They are positioned diagonally, one after the other, so you can easily read all three at the same time because they were placed in a way that does not impede the view of the other. The first sign says “Impeach” followed by the second sign placed diagonally behind it so it’s not covered by the “Impeach sign that says “Convict”, and then the third sign placed diagonally behind the second sign says “Remove”.

Making a martyr of Ashli Babbit, who died assaulting police officers who were protecting the Capitol from a violent mob, reminds me of the Nazi's effort to canonize the Horst Wessel, a member of Hitler's street gang, the SA.
