“Go to a No Kings rally. What do you see? You see moms and grandmas and kids and dogs and funny signs and dancing and happy displays of opposition to the regime that are foundationally nonviolent. And on the other end, you’ve got a regime that’s led by a guy who cheered the January 6th insurrection”

Regarding past rallies Indivisible has organized, such as the “Hands Off” rallies that took place in all fifty states in April, co-executive director Ezra Levin said: “It was far larger than January 6th, and there was no violence. None.” www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-r...

Trump’s “Loyalty Oath” would allow him and his unqualified bureaucrats to run our colleges and universities.

We must demand that our schools reject the regime’s blackmail attempts by committing to uphold freedom of speech and provide an affordable, safe education for all. Take action today. 👇

By allowing for the dismantling of minority districts held by Democrats, a ruling against the VRA could give President Donald Trump and the GOP enough additional seats to lock in the party’s control of the House for a generation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“We call on the American public to take to the streets in Chicago and in all American cities, in nonviolent protest on Saturday Oct. 18 for No Kings Day.

Organize. Resist. And attend a No Kings Day event. The future of our democracy never depended on it more than now.“

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.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

💥Viktor Orbán in trouble: a new 21 Research Center (a reliable pollster) survey shows opposition leader Péter Magyar’s TISZA party leading Orbán’s Fidesz 53–35—an 18-point gap. Even the main govt-paid pollster (Nézőpont) admits to the @nytimes.com that smear campaigns against Magyar are failing.
