Protesting is great and it’s a guaranteed right we have to assemble.

Right now the other side controls the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, the CIA, the FBI, and the military, etc.

You cannot lose your way out of fascism. We had 3 chances to put away this rising fascism and we only got it right one time then we messed that one up. You have to deny fascism political power, and you have to keep it from power until it dies.

So I hope someone’s protest drew in new voters.

If you want to keep up with what’s going on with elections and election law, I’d suggest Democracy Docket and Marc Elias over some random unsourced YouTube or Substack or some social media rumor.

It’s too bad he got driven off here but you can still read and subscribe to it.

If there’s something going on with election law or voter suppression, he’ll have it.

I feel bad for the community, but most of these companies have business models that rely on low wages, horrible working conditions, and equipment without protections which predictably cause horrific work injuries. Those injuries result in a minimal payment along with threats that if anyone complains, they’ll call ICE and get the whole family deported.

We need fair immigration reform.

The real thing is, what we need is for a whole bunch of *Republicans* to go protest.

We need millions of previous non-voters to go *register in protest*.

And then they need to vote for Democrats.

That's not to make anyone feel bad, that's just literally, mathematically what is needed for change to occur.

Some gullible fool is going to believe the guy who said Mexico would pay for the wall, made a trade deal with Canada and Mexico then broke it, and broke the Iran deal and you can see how well that’s going.

Individual Los Angeles Dodgers have spoken out against ICE raids, but the team with alternate "Los Dodgers" uniform has not. Singer Nezza, a US citizen with immigrant (now citizen) parents, was told she had to sing the national anthem in English. Instead she protested using the Spanish version that FDR commissioned in 1945.

Nezza posted clips with the title: "para mi gente (for my people) i stand with you." It's harder to ignore atrocities when others speak so loudly.

Me, too, man.

A screenshot of an X post from Jaime Harrison:

@harrisonjaime: “Just pass a damn bill! Stop passing the buck. Congress should do its job. The DNC is not the Federal Elections Committee... it is not Congress... it does not have the EO power of the Presidency. It has zero power to prohibit any entity from spending funds in either a primary or general election. So tired of the performative. The DNC can pass a resolution... a strongly worded resolution and what will be the impact.?! Those same PACs will do whatever the hell they want to do. So what other "action" can the DNC take that will produce the result suggested?! If I were in the Senate and I felt really passionately about this, then dammit I would deny Unanimous Consent (UC) for everything until I forced my colleagues to address the issue. So tired of folks blaming the DNC for doing something or not doing something that it literally has zero power to control!”

I knew he would bail. He wasn’t the center of attention, they weren’t kissing the ring, and they were having intelligent discussions. So he took his ball and went home.

Everyone could have voted for Kamala Harris which would have been a hell of a lot easier than all of this and not only that Black women warned you and we did our jobs and lots of you did not.

White leftists always fuck everything up.

The real plot twist is that the white far left wants this tinder box to go full flame for their precious socialist/communist revolution to happen, but they will be found nowhere after they've tossed first Molotov cocktails and leave Black people holding the bag.

They don’t ask anyone what would actually help, they just lord their whiteness over us Black and Brown folks.
