Hey, @indivisible.org - Your local chapter here, Americans For Democracy, is hosting this event! But, because another group is holding a separate event in the same zip code from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., we aren't able to get it listed on the site. Please help!

And this is only one side of the street. Even as people left, more poured in - all way until 2pm! And so many said this was their first rally, so it isn't the same folks as last time! ❤️‍🔥 It was joyful and it was loving and we had FUN, which is also important in this moment!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

I rec'd a fundraising email today from the DCCC; it talks about "House Democrats will not be complicit" and "Nearly every House Democrat -- led by Leader Hakeem Jeffries -- stood strong and said HELL. NO. to the MAGA spending bill." Over to you, Senate Democrats ---

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: How about if all places of worship, schools and other public spaces put up signs by their entrances with this simple statement of the law? (This one’s from a Minnesota church). Suggesting it to my temple today. Will report back.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is what I love about MN Republican legislators (and officials in red counties): complain at length that state taxes are too high and that spending needs to be cut - in general, but also because of an impending budget deficit. But wait - we can't have funding cuts that affect OUR counties!

So much winning...but energy costs rising for low-income folks. Energy assistance program ending in Alabama (and likely elsewhere, too). Really now.
