Recently finished this audiobook and thinking about lots of its lessons during this evening's #onemillionrising training from @indivisible.org. Thinking about who I can pull together in my janky MAGA suburb.

Let’s gooooooo!!! #indivisibe #nokings

Hundreds marched in El Cajon today, in support of migrants and to demand ICE be removed from the city. El Cajon was the site of a militarized workplace raid in March, and the city council voted to declare itself not a sanctuary city in February.

"Urging" when you have the power to FORCE is absurd. Note the absence of a quorum and make them listen.

If he's so confident he's correct about it being bad strategy to hold an impeachment vote, why lie about whether or not an impeachment vote is possible? They know they've got nothing.

I don’t even know how to refute this since it’s literally fiction.

But Rule IX is not very long, which is what Al Green specifically did to force the vote.

Which part here says “Jim Jordan needs to say it is cool”.

Look I too can just say total bullshit in overly large graphics but it doesn’t make it true.

His explanation is based on a lie.

"However, as I misrepresented above..."

If your case is so strong, why lie?

This is exactly why we've been trying to educate people about impeachment: So they don't fall for this bullshit from lying cowards terrified of getting primaried but also terrified of opposing the President.

I see our Democratic congresscritters are getting so many phone calls and emails about that impeachment-tabling vote that they feel the need to lie to their constituents.

The new most wanted man:

“I’m looking for a man in protest, leaf blower, gas mask”

Don't tell them that, they'll start trying to be Serious Games Journalists or something.

Hi, hey. The OSN has not asked me to & is not paying me to shill for their Patreon drive, but I need to for a second because I need them to keep being able to do what they do, & I'm not in a place to financially support them so I want to tell you why I would if I could, because I love these dorks.

Could not be more delighted that I subscribed last week as a father's day gift to the hubby.

And when the President does something wildly unconstitutional, the House does what? Starts with an "i."

lmao San Diego isn't even on the NYT map, when we had some of the most viral crowd shots yesterday. It's a shame, because there's still good reporting happening in the Times, but their editors, headline writers, and infographic people are BEYOND trash.

YouTube video by Times of San Diego Highlights of San Diego 'No Kings' rally and march

"San Diego, let's go make history," said @muellershewrote.com — and we did. #NoKings www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3sl... @bostonmapper.bsky.social @indivisible.org @indivisible49.com @sdindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible-ncsd.bsky.social

Absolutely no fear of consequences for breaking state law on the use of less-lethals.

They had me posted up at the fountain in Waterfront Park. Barely anyone even asked where the bathrooms were. 😂

NO KINGS PROTEST – SAN DIEGO

No Kings downtown San Diego 🇺🇸

Hard to communicate how big the San Diego No Kings protest is. By far the biggest I've seen since I moved here, even bigger than the peak of BLM. All of harbor drive and Pacific highway downtown shut down

A protester operates a large puppet depicting Donald Trump as a pig, while another protester gives it the finger.

A protester holds up a sign with the Monty Python scene: "I am your king." "Well I didn't vote for you."

A protester holds up a sign reading "Looks like someone low-rolled charisma, wisdom, and intelligence" while another protester holds other signs.

I was volunteering as a marshal today, so I only got a couple photos from downtown San Diego's #NoKingsDay.

Massive crowd of No Kings marchers.

Massive crowd of No Kings marchers.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

No kings in San Diego! Truly spectacular!
