Call your Rep, Delegate, Senators, Governors! Tell’em #Illegitimate_DHS_ICE_FBI. #Defang_ICE! GOP Senators, appeasement = wrong, weak, criminal! America is for all freedom-loving, kind people. No ifs ands or buts!
Fascism is here. Remove any “if..” and “when…” from your vocabulary. We can’t fight what we won’t name.

My every 4 week or so check to see if Bluesky is worth posting on. Or if it still has minimal interaction. Here is the president of the NDRC ringing the bell on the 2026 election being stacked by Republicans.
This is 100% a grab for the 2026. John is the President of the NDRC, and he is ringing the bell.
