Black D.C. church vandalized by Proud Boys awarded control of group’s name The ruling effectively prohibits Proud Boys chapters from legally using their own name or typical symbols without the permission of the Metropolitan AME Church.

A historic Black church in D.C. that was vandalized by members of the extremist Proud Boys in 2020 has secured the group’s naming rights, allowing the institution to seek proceeds from sales of the organization’s merchandise and membership dues.

They allege that the Department of Justice's attempt to identify those involved in probes into the January 6 2021 attack on the Capitol was 'unlawful and retaliatory' and that publicly naming them risked putting them and their families in 'immediate danger of retribution'. www.ft.com/content/5b34...

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Power in politics is, as much as anything, the perception of power.

And as malevolent as they may be, these incompetent fools in the White House have come out of the gate looking very, very weak.

A Message to the US Senate
YouTube video by The Lincoln Project A Message to the US Senate

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

The Press is the ONLY private enterprise specifically given enumerated rights in the Constitution. This was done because in America, The Press was supposed to be the watchdog of liberty.

Instead, American Journalism has become the willing lapdog of fascism.

PROP - PR Over Policy.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

So, he's been in office a single week and it's already utter chaos.

I know for many of you, it's overwhelming just considering what the rest of the administration will be like and you want to give up because it's too hard.

Don't.

However bad it might get, it'll be 10x worse if you do.
