The @brennancenter.org has an important call to action for each of us. The Election Assistance Commission is trying to pull shenanigans to take away our right to vote. We can stop them, and the Brennan Center walks you through how. Link to comment is below:

Fannie Lou Hammer once said, "If I fall, I'll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I'm not backing off."

Impact of the Inflatables Protests: (1) expose the lie about war-torn cities, (2) mock bullies trying to seem powerful, (3) encourage bystanders to join you next time, (4) deny the optics the regime needs to create propaganda, (5) use whimsy to get the media to keep attention on the abductions.
Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'
Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Dude, that's so real. We see your collective standing up in the face of state sanctioned terror. We are with you.

The inflatable goals: (1) expose the lie about war-torn cities, (2) mock bullies trying to seem powerful, (3) encourage bystanders to join you the next time, (4) refuse to give them the optics they need to create propaganda, (5) get the media to keep attention on the abductions through whimsy.

This kind of propaganda is clearly churned out to get people to believe three things: (1) they should give up on a wildly successful tactic, (2) there is one real way to intervene + armchair organizers refuse to tell us plebs what it is, (3) your goal isn't to persuade bystanders to join you.

The wildly unpopular SAVE Act has been re-animated in a new "Show Your Papers" scheme. The Election Assistance Commission, at the behest of the Christian Nationalist "America First Legal Fdn" is proposing a new regulation. PLS submit your comment. A quick glance tells me this is being astroturfed.

This is my family’s cemetery. Generations of us are here. DHS thugs attacked the workers who laid my father to rest and tend to his gravesite. i dont know whether to cry or yell. I hope these DHS thugs find no peace in this life and the next.

In the latest episode of the Mustard Seed Podcast, which focuses on small daily acts of resistance, I talk about this call to action from @brennancenter.org, and I share the public comment I left for the Election Assistance Commission.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Just saw an announcement from a kids soccer group that ICE agents have been spotted in the area, so it’s OK to skip today’s games if people are scared.
The MAGA assault on our community is intolerable and has nothing to do with making people’s lives better.

Listen idk if it's going to break through at all, but if I were the media and the literal POPE was lecturing me for being a lying piece of shit, I may look in the mirror for a moment.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Why don't MTG and Massey et al. remove him from the Speakership? All of us with Republican reps in Congress should be demanding for them to boot him out (202)-224-3121). As I recall, they didn't want him in there at all. Once again, Republicans CAN stop this if they wanted to. Make them.

Love a good posting pile on, if I go totally broke brained and post something idiotic, I fully expect the response to be swift and merciless. Like hyenas turning on Scar at the end of the Lion King.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

It's disturbing to see Hispanics arresting other Hispanics, as if they consider themselves superior to those they are apprehending.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
