This is written by the person who knows me better than anyone, who has been by my side and cheering me on through this last wild, scary, exciting year.
If you want to know more about me, us, and why I started this campaign in the first place… you should give it a read.
That’s my blinding rage emoji

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.
This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.
I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Time lapse of Oakland no kings march eventually taking over both sides of Broadway from @oaklandside.org. Many thousands of people.
A photo of (the backs of) people as the June 14th "No Kings" march got started in Oakland, California. You can see people's heads mixed with cars and buildings and trees of toward the horizon. It's a lot of people. Much more than fit in the photo.
Almost half a million people live in Oakland, CA and it seemed like we were all marching today

Remember that we’re nearly powerless to effect change in one day, but we can do anything if we show up to bi-weekly meetings for years.
Literally anything.
Find a group, plug in deeply and regularly until you have power.
Do not obey in advance
Implied in your post is the idea that she has coherent right-ward thoughts to help sharpen the left. Many folks have found notoriety through an assault on reason itself, including her. Banning her isn’t banning disagreement, it’s just noise-cancelling

Hello folks, ramping up my participation on this lovely platform.
I know the election was last week, but if you want to learn more about how voting works, the mechanics of it, especially in the US, you might enjoy my podcast.

This is so good. Love @kmtani.bsky.social's perfect description of what it really would mean to think of the justices as a certain kind of umpire.
Love it!!
