And they didnβt just do it by themselvesβthey went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

BIG energy at the MoveOn event in Arizona yesterday.
This is how we unite and fight. Illinois, Texas the rest of America. We can all come together and fight.

I live in TN so you know I am voting in an uphill battle. Spread the word to the ones who can redistrict. It takes all of us!!

16.11.2024 17:04 β π 31312 π 3653 π¬ 599 π 199It's easy to forget a call for violence.... But people who inspire nonviolence and push back arm and arm in protest, like MLK and Mandela, I'll always remember.
04.08.2025 22:29 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Anyone calling for a civil war has missed the point of democratic values and democracy itself... South Korea got rid of their dictator without one violent act by protesters... It can be done and has been done.
04.08.2025 22:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That's your opinion.
04.08.2025 22:16 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And I don't believe Hochul meant literal bloodshed war. If they move to gerrymander, then we should too. That's a nonviolent way to fight back. Democrats not showing up in Texas to vote for gerrymandering for republicans is another way to fight fire with fire.
04.08.2025 22:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It will be true if we accept the violence from them. If we do nothing. Illegal acts need to be dealt with by the law. This isn't the wild west, in a lawless world of accepting death and destruction. As long as our laws are still working for the most part, we must continue to support those laws.
04.08.2025 22:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0I'm not calling for violence. We won't win w/violence & the narrative against democrats will be set for them. Violent acts will be used as an 'I told you the democrats are violent' & a fascist civil war will be against blue states & every insurrectionist crazed mind will be leading the charge.
04.08.2025 21:53 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0They'll go to this length to arrest lawmakers trying to keep our democracy, but when the entire Trump regime says fuck you to a judge's order, doing something actually illegal, there's no arrest warrants issued on their contempt of court. Fire with fire people, that's the only way to fight fascismπ₯

04.08.2025 21:23 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she's looking to redraw the state's legislative lines in response to the Texas gerrymander β even going so far as to suggest amending the state constitution to move up the timeline.

01.08.2025 03:42 β π 1722 π 353 π¬ 41 π 14Those of us who dared to observe that maybe, just maybe, many (not all) Democratic leaders werenβt urgently defending against the dismantling of government programs because they supported their being dismantled have been viciously attacked.
Now those leaders are saying it out loud.
