What are you doing on Oct. 18th? If I was at home in Charleston, I’d be attending this SINO event followed by the NO KINGS RALLY in North Charleston. But, since I’ll be in Sevilla I’ll attend the NO TYRANTS rally here. Ole’!

The ACLU is fighting back against illegal gerrymandering in red States. Please help by signing on to this action:

www.aclu.org/vraa

Defend our voting rights

While the fight for fair redistricting goes to SCOTUS this term, Congress has a part to play, too. Call on Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our voting rights.

🧵:

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

President Trump honored Charlie Kirk w Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Kirk’s Turning Point USA's Professor Watch List posted names of professors. Some profs were fired, others harassed.

I’m on list.

What did I do to get on the list?

Cosplay Kristi Noem is furious that Seattle-Tacoma and Portland airports won’t play her taxpayer-funded blame-Democrats video. Imagine thinking airport security lines should double as campaign rallies. Sorry Kristi, democracy doesn’t take propaganda orders.

"Cosplay Karen" aka “Puppy Killer” Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.

PS Proud of all the airports refusing to air her propaganda video!!

ICE agents continue to escalate violence in attempt to fulfill Trumps “out of control” narrative.

Here they visibly initiated an assault on a protester in Portland last night.

Government’s shut down. Federal workers aren’t getting paid — some even being fired.
MAGA Speaker Johnson just canceled House votes for yet another week.

And this guy’s out golfing.
