I wish more would speak up like this. Don't people realize that bullies are really cowards - and they always back down when enough people say "boo!". www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsGf...

I was homeless for a while- and lucky I had my car. To those folks who never really think about the sweeps- those are the ONLY things they have left in the world. What if someone came in your house and took just a cart's worth of items? What if they were things in this list? And all you had left.

This moved me to tears.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

How to Protect Our Judges open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Provides contact information to add your voice.

Prevent Trump from reclassifying federal jobs (which cover everything) as political appointments! It would cause the fall of our systems: service, products, information. Please read my post on this on FB link. If no access, direct link to take action is in replies. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CJy...

PLEASE fill this one out. Anyone who's been a federal employee knows that fed. jobs cover nearly every subject - service, info, products. They are NOT political, and these systems would fall into disarray, and our country with it, should this proposal pass. www.takeaction.network/xactions/420...

This has to be stopped. Speak out people. Now. Before it's too late. We can win. But only if we don't lie down.

So distressing. Write to your reps. to stop this from happening. And please read the message from The Guardian on their page. They vowed to never fold to intimidation. The media who will stand up to T, deserve our support.

No violence on June 14th. They are waiting for a reason to label us terrorists. And be aware that there may very well be people there that are antagonists, trying to get people to become aggressive.
