Preach it, Klingon!
Times like these give us the opportunity to be one of the people who stood up fought for decency, equality, justice, and sanity.
When we live through difficult times it can be easy to succumb to despair, to see nothing but darkness on the horizon. But one day, in happier times, songs will be sung of those who persevered. Strive to be sung about as one who brought hope, as one who carried light over that horizon.
Perhaps it is a good time to post this again.
Steer by your stars, not the weather.

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally.
Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another.
Let’s show it:

Long, but worthwhile, thread on the personality and strategy of power-behind-the-throne, Stephen Miller.
bsky.app/profile/edit...
1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

Is Portland "burning to the ground?" A new website has the answer.
The power of the people is greater than the people in power.
BREAKING: Massive protests taking place right now in Chicago against Trump this evening.
Keep it up!
Do the fools in the White House think that sending goons to the streets of our cities to harass our neighbors would scare us into submission?

My mother coined a phrase today while we were chatting about the political nightmare going on.
Me: "Whatever is in the Epstein Files has GOT to be bad."
Mom: "Really bad - but he keeps trying to chaos is way out of it."
"Chaos his way out of it" is a beautiful (accurate) turn of phrase.
Uh-huh.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Scenes of carnage and destruction on the streets of Portland.
Spread this widely. The world must know. 😂
Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

We've having a No Kings event in Beaverton.
If you live elsewhere, please look up a rally near you! We need a huge turnout across the country to let the administration and their enablers know we're not afraid, not shutting up, and not stepping down.
I’ve repeatedly said we need messengers not martyrs. The below link will let you sign up for a No Kings Protest near you.✊🏽
If you’ve never been to a protest, grab a friend & attend. We have a Constitutional right to protest. Use it while we still can.❤️

This is the "war zone" in Portland.
Flag wavers, and a person in an inflatable capybara suit.
You’re absolutely right, Senator. We were just there ourselves — here’s one of our videos. It was a total nothing-burger. A few cars went in and out, but that’s it. No activity, no chaos — just a calm, sunny Sunday afternoon in Portland.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Federal agents are trying to bait peaceful protesters.
Don't fall for it.
I was at the protest yesterday. We were peaceful. We stayed off ice property. They came out and attacked us with pepper bullets, tear gas, shoving, pepper spraying in eyes. The injustice is horrific. This was a group of all ages, neighbors, portlanders.

This authoritarian creep is upset by the rule of law and checks & balances.
