Please join me and Indivisible in boycotting Amazon, Target, and Home Depot Nov. 27–Dec. 1. These three are supporting a fascist agenda. Their particularly heinous actions are described in the image.

Indiana GOPers Defy Trump, Vote Against Gerrymander Session Read more here.

NEW: The Indiana Senate voted 29-18 to reject a proposed, Trump-backed December session aimed at redrawing the state’s congressional map. The vote keeps the state’s current map intact, marking yet another rebuke of the president’s national gerrymander push.

Depends a lot of your preferences. A quick Web search on "best alternatives to Spotify" brings up several recent articles reviewing alternatives, to help you zero in on what will meet your specific criteria.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is running ads to recruit fascist goons for ICE. I've stopped using Spotify; I hope you will too. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/rEZPWRHr

h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y. 😉

States can't sue each other like that. Texas Dems sued their own state over the gerrymander, saying it disenfranchises Black voters. An appeals court rejected that. Once these cases reach the Supreme Court, can the Justices twist themselves into a pretzel enough to allow Texas but not California? 🤔

NBC NEWS PROJECTS CALIFORNIANS HAVE ADOPTED PROP 50, which cancels out the Texas GOP gerrymander of Congressional seats.

Voters elected Dem governors in Virginia and Pennsylvania, retained all 3 PA Supreme Court justices, elected Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, and more.

The Trump Administration has cancelled 94 million pounds of food aid to food banks, which cannot fill the gap now that SNAP benefits are cut. If our communities don’t eat, it’s because Republicans chose to starve America!

Prop 50 tracker | 4.4 million ballots for special California election returned More than 4.4 million ballots have been returned so far in California’s special election to either approve or reject Proposition 50, according to a data firm used by political campaigns.

Californians: PLEASE don't sit this out. Return your Prop 50 ballot marked YES right away. If mailing, do it now so the Postal Service delivers it in time.

Prop 50 temporarily counteracts Texas's 5 new Republican Congressional districts. Without Prop 50, Dems may never win the House again.

Polls show voters now trust Democrats more to handle the economy The issue that sank Democrats in 2024 now threatens to do the same to Republicans in 2025 and the 2026 midterms

Voters now trust Dems more than the GOP on the economy, an 18-point shift. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-show...

In Court Filings, Oregon Police Slam Trump’s Portland Takeover Read more here.

Oregon law enforcement officials called Trump's deployment of 200 military troops to Portland unwarranted and a public safety threat, and rejected the president’s claim that "domestic terrorists" are besieging ICE facilities in the "war-ravaged" city.

SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Fire Federal Reserve Governor, For Now Read more here.

NEW: The Supreme Court rules that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can keep her job, stating that the Reserve's "uniquely structured, quasi-private entity" status bars presidential removal of governors. Cook will remain until the Court hears oral argument on Trump's removal efforts in January.

So uh this is going to be the biggest day of mass protest yet

Resistance is NOT futile! Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air tomorrow, Tuesday 9/23/25, after a six-day suspension because he criticized people who are trying to make political hay out of Charlie Kirk's murder. This shows our voices matter. Let's turn out in GIANT numbers Oct. 18 for No Kings Day 2.

We have joined the throngs canceling Disney services in the wake of the atrocious suspension of Jimmy Kimmel for speaking truth, and mildly at that. Disney owns ABC and Hulu. I'll miss a couple of Hulu shows, but nothing is worth funding those who enable fascists.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Please spread the word. The October 18 NO KINGS demonstrations need to be bigger than ever. Find one here and sign up to join (and bring your friends): www.nokings.org#map

Star Skirmishes

They specifically claim to be collecting money for protesters' defense in Facebook ads, so it's quite public. What they'll actually use the money for I don't know.

Thanks, Lucy. Yes, that darned autoINcorrect strikes again. Bluesky doesn't allow editing posts, so I can't correct it. (I could delete and replace it, but then I'd lose the likes and comments.)

The Women's March organization claims to be already doing this, FWIW.

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

Avelo Airlines to close US West Coast base amid backlash over deportation flights Avelo Airlines, a Texas-based budget carrier, said on Monday it will close its base at Hollywood Burbank Airport as it struggles financially, amid calls to boycott the airline over its decision to operate deportation flights under a contract with the Trump administration.

Avelo Airlines, which has a contract with ICE to transport detailed people, is shutting down its West Coast operations, but of course that has NOTHING to do with consumers boycotting Avelo for collaborating with ICE. www.reuters.com/business/aer... #onemillionrising
