We have three goals for the next No Kings Day on October 17: 1) Boosting vote turnout to the biggest it’s ever been for the midterms. 2) Getting our communities prepared to organize against election sabotage. 3) Creating a mandate for the reforms and accountability we want to see next year.

Recently pulled together an emergency preparedness pod with people who live near me because of the many (worsening) crises that we are in or are heading our way. Can't stress enough for others to do this asap. Even just having a couple of conversations about it is better than nothing and will help.

Every 2 minutes, American consumers pay $1 MILLION more in fuel costs, thanks to Trump's illegal war in Iran.   Meanwhile, our billionaire president calls higher gas prices "peanuts" & says they're a "very small price to pay" for his failed war.   This war needs to end NOW.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.
