Former follower of politics… Hopefully I can still stay informed without having to watch the s**tshow. Any good book recommendations?

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.

As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Alexandria, VA - Mayday Movement USA is deeply alarmed by the arrest of our founder, Peter Stinson, a graduate of the U.S. Naval War College, who served 22 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. He has been accused of threats against the President and successors to the Presidency. This allegation does not align with Peter as we know him, nor the values of this movement.
Peter has always made it clear that our work is rooted in peaceful, lawful action.
His calls for impeachment, conviction, and removal are firmly grounded in the Constitution. We have built this movement on a foundation of lawful, non-violent Congressional outreach and
demonstration, and Mayday Movement is dedicated to continuing that mission.

This unexpected incident has brought forth a high degree of suspicion, as it appears Peter has been targeted by the FBl, using social media comments that they dug up from 2020. One would expect the FBI to act quickly in 2020 if they found these comments to be threatening.
It is worth noting that the FBI has a well documented history of targeting effective activists.
We remain firmly committed to the goal Peter set when he founded the Mayday Movement: impeachment, conviction and removal of President Trump. We will maintain our 24/7 presence on the National Mall and continue our aim to hold Congress accountable and restore constitutional integrity.

President Trump's actions have undermined our democratic institutions and violated the principles of justice and liberty. His disregard for the Constitution necessitates immediate action.
We ask for patience as we continue our efforts and receive more information about the developing situation."

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Over 2,000 peaceful protests happened in all 50 states. Millions marched against Trump’s fascist agenda.

#NoKingsDay may be the biggest anti-administration protest in modern U.S. history.
