"The hard reality is that we are not going to get a quick fix. We will not wake up one morning this month and find that Trumpism is over. And we can’t throw our hands up in the air in disgust and walk away in the absence of instant success. The fight for democracy is going to be long and hard and

Our member of Congress, Lloyd Smucker, hasn't had a town hall in years. Well, Indivisible is inviting him to one next Saturday at Lancaster's Penn Square. 11-11:30. Bring your questions. #MuskorUs www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Constituents in Rep Lloyd Smucker's 11th Congressional District rallied outside his Lancaster PA office today. His office is on private property, but we found a spot nearby to hold our rally. #MuskorUs @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org @lancasteronline.bsky.social @cbs21.bsky.social @moveon.org

Just another excuse to kill the Dept of Ed by a thousand cuts
