Congressional Democrats: WATCH AND LISTEN!

 

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Trump Polls Sinking Like “a cinderblock in an ocean trench."

A difference is a difference that makes a difference.—Gregory Bateson

House Reps are in their districts right now.  It is time to call their local offices, visit their offices, or turn over rocks until you find one.  Let them know what’s on your mind and in your heart.  

Continuing to pressure Republican members of Congress is one of the big wrenches we have to break this fascist machine. Be a difference!!

Gov. Pritzker delivers Illinois State of the State Address 2025

Fast forward to 26:00 and watch the last ten minutes. Please! Really!

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance; democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and your humanity . . . and do not let the tragic spirit of despair overcome us when our country needs us most.  —Gov. J.B. Pritzker

Hating Evil Is Good

 

Look closely.

Cuts to Medical Research: The Chickenshit Enablers in TN’s Congressional Delegation

Investigative reporter, Phil Williams, reported yesterday on his question about NIH cuts that he put to each member of Tennessee’s Congressional delegation: 

Williams’ question to 11 federal legislators was this: Do you support announced cuts in Tennessee for life-saving medical research?

Of the two U.S. Senators and nine U. S. Representatives, all are Republican except for Rep. Steve Cohen. Some dodged the question entirely, some provided non-answers to the question, and only one offered a straight answer to the question.  Spoiler alert: it was not a Republican.

Protests from Miami to Seattle, Bangor to San Jose

Here’s just a few:

Join the TN TESLA TAKEDOWN Saturday, February 15

Subject: Can you come?

Friends,

I'm attending an event called TN TESLA TAKEDOWN.

A protest event as part of the National Mobilization on February 15 against Elon Musk, who has bought his way into the White House to create havoc, cause pain, destroy America’s institutions, and to steal as much valuable data as he can to make himself even richer. Please come to peaceably assemble in public space and display your own creative signage and to let customers and passersby know that they should consider another EV besides Tesla.

Can you join me? Click below for details and to RSVP:

Thanks!

PS  In a time when many of us are feeling scared and helpless, here is something you can do to personally resist and to aid the resistance movement that is growing by leaps and bounds.
