Today’s act of resistance is to make a donation to a local food bank. Whatever you can afford. Our food banks are being overwhelmed right now. People are hungry. Let’s feed them.

Today’s act of resistance is to check your voter registration and then help four people check theirs. Every vote matters.

ICE brutally detain woman's gardener-right in front of her house. 4 goons drag and violently pull man out of truck head-first. Kneel on his back after pinned down to pavement. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" he cries out. Incident occurred in Everett, Washington.

The law is that “Although the WH is not required to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it cannot deny access based on the content of a journalist’s coverage.” That's exactly what Trump is doing. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-a-nice...

Generally agree, but given who has to sign any legislation for the next two+ years, I’m afraid the goat is the bride in this analogy.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.
