Some of my favorite signs from yesterday! Estimates of over 4,000 people in my red community. It was much bigger than the previous ones.

Protesters form a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach as part of Saturday’s No Kings day of action. The demonstrators supported Proposition 50, a measure on November’s ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

It’s hard to grasp the level of self-deception it takes to vote third-party, claim “both parties are the same,” and then watch a President strip away due process and crash $10 trillion off the global economy—only to still sleep soundly at night.

Sad to hear funding has been cut for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). I attended 3 NEH seminars: Pearl Harbor in HI, Civil Rights in AL, and Mining in the West in MT. It was the BEST professional development I ever had!! Funding already promised for this year has been cut. 💔

📞 “Hi, my name is [Your Name] and I’m a concerned voter from [Your State]. I’m calling to urge Senator [Last Name] to vote NO on the extreme GOP budget bill that slashes $880 billion from Medicaid and $230 billion from SNAP, putting 20 million Americans’ healthcare at risk and leaving 40 million food-insecure Americans without aid.

This isn’t about politics—this is about lives. Medicaid covers 63% of nursing home care and 1 in 3 children with disabilities. SNAP feeds working families, veterans, and seniors. Cutting these programs to fund $4.5 trillion in billionaire tax breaks is cruel and unacceptable.

I urge Senator [Last Name] to stand up for working Americans and vote NO on this budget. Thank you.”

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.
