Out-of-work organizer with nothing to do except make trouble for fascists. (And apply for jobs. But that's less fun.)

Teresa Edwards, wife of Rep. Chuck Edwards, thinks it’s fine to harass peaceful protesters, and either she or her husband or both are also lying about the ownership of their McDonald’s franchises. Please help this Thursday if you can so nobody else ends up in a 1:1 confrontation with Teresa!

Get ready to join us tomorrow (and get very Thursday!) from 5pm-7pm in front of Chuck Edwards’ McDonald’s franchise on Four Seasons Blvd (right off the highway in Hendersonville) and if you’re lucky, one of these signs could be yours!

Say it louder and everyone pay attention: JURY NULLIFICATION. We're going to need it under this administration.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

No news organization should ever use the words "third term" without the word "unconstitutional" preceding it

Make no mistake: Trump is serious about trying to throw out the Constitution to stay in power.

"I'm not joking": Trump again floats running for anti-constitutional third term
"There are methods which you could do it," he reportedly told NBC News.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

"American lawyers and law firms have been telling themselves that they're going to do great in this moment when it comes. This moment is here." Rachel Maddow encourages the legal profession to show their strength in the face of Donald Trump's authoritarian attacks.

If you've ever wondered what you'd do to stop a dictatorship, to resist fascists, to fight Nazis - it's whatever you're doing right now. If that's sitting at home doing nothing but quietly disagreeing....I hope you're ready for some serious self-reflection.

I've sent this to so many people who have expressed hopelessness, saying things like "but a majority of people will never do what it takes." It doesn't take a majority! 3.5% of the population is only 15% of the people who cared enough to show up and vote against Trump! www.bbc.com/future/artic...

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
