Sorry for the distracting snap group chat background. Nazis planning to march in Bloomington IL on August 30th. Keep your eyes peeled and STAY SAFE. There are MORE OF US THAN THEM.

Sharing this episode of Brian Tyler Cohen this week, Newsom is his first guest. This isn’t the only pod Newsom did this week, but I just listened to it so it’s fresh on mind.

I know there are lots that don’t like him, though I don’t know why. But I’m a blue dot in Texas and am thankful that he is stepping up to stop the garbage that my awful governor is doing so his daddy will give him a lollipop.

I think he is the only one truly stepping into the leadership role that the democrats so badly need. The show notes have the link to his Act Blue for his ballot measure to restrict in CA and fight the Texas republicans. It’s imperative to get the word out to CA voters so they get out and vote for this measure. We need to put our full support behind those standing up to fight. I’m also looking into volunteering with the movement.

Anyway, I just wanted to get this out there. Please share with those that you know who have critical thinking skills.

Edit: my god, people. I said nothing about the presidential nominee. No one else has stepped up as a leader in this moment. It will be over a year until any presidential hopefuls fully announce. He wouldn’t be my first presidential nominee choice compared to other governors. But he’s fighting the attempted steal for 2026. He will need major media and communication strategies to get out the CA vote in this off-cycle election to approve these maps. I live in the hellhole that is Texas. Anyone who will put our fuck of a governor in his rightful place is someone I will get behind.

It’s time that we oust Schumer. Now is the moment before the midterm races really get off the ground.

Hear me out -

If we can get a big, sustained protest outside of Schumer’s offices it’s going to draw a lot of attention. Republican media is going to latch on to the story and air it everywhere. Their base is going to eat it up, they also hate Schumer. They’re going to have some sympathy/feel some endearment for protestors and pay close attention to the movement that’s happening on the ground.

Democrats will start to spiral a bit with the base bucking leadership so publicly. They’ll have to put it to a vote because the attention won’t die until the protests are quelled, and Trump isn’t going to try to suppress this one.

We’ll have enough time to rally under new leadership, and we’ll have the attention of the conservative base while we do it.

Trump has made it clear he intends to rig the 2026 election by getting Republican-led states to gerrymander their districts to death. Democrat-led states have threatened to retaliate.

The country is now in a death spiral that will eventually lead to most states being under one-party rule, and democracy will be effectively dead.

That's why it's imperative that we pressure our lawmakers to pass legislation banning gerrymandering nationwide with a 2/3 majority to override a presidential veto, and not let up on that pressure until they do it.

These times call for unorthodox tactics. ICE training is about 6 months.

Everyone who opposes this regime should sign up. Go through the training. Then, before you ever get an assignment, quit.

Now you have: A) wasted their time and money that could have been used to train and actual agent B) seen/learned their tactics from the inside, so you better know how to fight them C) gotten valuable weapons training, should it become necessary/valuable to have

I think it's important to keep in mind the importance of everybody's roles in the resistance to fascism. Too often I have seen people become combative to one another on the left simply because of the differences in our fundamental orientation towards resistance.

Historically, movements that such as the civil rights movement of the 60's were successful in part due to the militant flank that accompanied it. The thorns were a driving force in bringing the government to the negotiation table. Today, we are too quick to condemn and distance the movement from the people who unyieldingly fight for the same cause we all are pursuing.

At the same time, this opposition must be aimed at the primary culprits of the suffering we see. We should not make the mistake of laying most of the blame at the feet of mainstream liberals, but at those who originate the harmful rhetoric that they contend with. In kind, the mainstream liberals should not disavow the unrest that is a direct consequence of the attacks being made on civil rights and liberties. Otherwise, the liberal party will continue to be forced into compromise with the most reprehensible of stances. We all are fighting for a free society wherein no human has to endure the stripping away of their dignity. To achieve that, we must understand the way our intentions align, and that the diversity of our means is our greatest strength, not a weakness.

Do what you can to improve the world around you. But do not attack those who do this in a way different from your own. We are all on this planet together, and the best way we can fight oppression is by resisting in the ways that each of our contexts allows and empowers.

Saw this today and thought it might be a good idea to make several posters like this, since they're you know... recruiting.

What are some of the job requirements you would give to qualify as an ICE agent?

Kind of a Tesla Takedown, but more TACO themed. Over 100 showed up. We started out crowding the intersection of Stevens Creek Blvd. and Winchester Blvd at the border of San Jose and Santa Clara.

After an hour, we marched up Santana row past the Tesla dealership (where they had security guards posted - lol), went up a couple more blocks to the end of Santana row, then turned around.

We got a generally positive response from the passing traffic with the notable exceptions or 4 or 5 magat vehicles with flags or waving their little red hats (I guess they felt left out).

Looks the other way when ICE kidnaps people? DUMP THEM

Paying workers pennies on the dollar, while executives buy their seventh vacation home? DUMP THEM

Did they cancel DEI so they can spend more time licking Trump’s boots? DUMP THEM

Are they selling brands complicit in genocide? DUMP THEM

Do it loudly on the internet. Let’s make our exes famous.🫦

Ok, so here is my idea on a way to waste ICE's time, so they have less time to bother people. If you're a citizen, become a decoy.

You and your friends have nothing to do? Grab a cooler, throw on some pants, long sleeve shirt, hat pulled low, and go hang out in front of Home Depot for a few hours.

See a checkpoint set up? Hang another country's flag out the window and drive really slow.

See them driving around? Put a flashing orange light on your roof and follow them.

Obviously never run, film everything, and make them engage so they are busy with you.

-Anywhere you see FOX news on a TV screen in public, ask the proprietor to turn the channel.

-I changed my cable provider so I can avoid contributing revenue to FOX. Comcast could not offer me a package without FOX.

If enough people cancel FOX, their revenue will decline.
