This Fourth of July, we celebrate our independence from tyranny with the largest demonstration in American history, centering in Washington and around the country. July 4th, 2025, the day Americans renew their vows of independence from Kings and Tyrants!

It's time to prepare now for the biggest protest to date, in Washington and across the country!!!

This should have been dismissed out of hand as settled law and obvious on the face of it. The fact that this court is giving it the time of day discredits and demeans their credibility. Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Trump Plan to End Birthright Citizenship www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

As usual, Pete is spot on with his rhetoric, but rhetoric is not enough; we need action. If he wants to lead, he needs to make the personal sacrifice of meeting grassroots organizations that have moved millions of us and join the organizing.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Weaponizing the DOHS and the IRS for political reasons hidden under the thin veil of "executive authority" is one of the last steps in authoritarian take over. Talk to disengaged friends. I.R.S. Is Said to Be Considering Whether to Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

The dangerous anti-human childish fantasy that is funding the Musk branch of what is happening today is convinced that only the chosen few are fit to have a voice in the decisions that affect our lives. They believe AI will replace us. They are wrong - it will enable us to defeat them.

"Negotiations" require good faith. Since the allegations themselves were brought with bad faith as subterfuge for other things, there can be no "negotiations," only demands. Columbia Vows to Reject Any Trump Deal That Erodes Its Independence www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/n...

I'll be adding a new law firm every day. These firms have promised nearly $1,000,000,000 of legal services to the Trump administration

Ron Day-Vous@rdays.com

Anyone can file a complaint, but if you live in Illinois, this Chicago Law firm is abdicating its responsibility and violating its oath. Hold them responsible. open.substack.com/pub/rondayvo...

Why would anyone engage the services of a law firm that didn't recognize these basic tenants?

Vulnerable in a Blue Wave. These Republicans won by less than 60% of the vote and could be unseated in a blue wave. It's time to start targeting them NOW...

Secretary Rollins Claims the "The smartest and most capable people in America are behind the tariffs" #1. Why is she insulting Americans #2. Did she hear about the protests on Heard Island?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

Something to think about when the next national protest is called. We need to have one on Independence day, to declare our independence from tyranny!!! bsky.app/profile/blab...

We are so close to 3.5%. There has never been a case where 3.5% or more of the population protesting hasn't brought about change. Check out this BBC article. bbc.in/4hzF3ad

Not long ago, we had a president who spoke to us about the power of hope. While he has withdrawn from politics and left the fight to a new generation, that message is as powerful now as it was then. Hope doesn't exist without action and belief. Today is one of those days of action. Be seen.

Shouldn't my granddaughters have at least as many rights as my grandmother had? Fetal personhood isn't even going backwards, it's going down to a place we don't want to go.

The American Taliban in Georgia arrested a woman for having a miscarriage. Too bad they can't be arrested for a Miscarriage of Justice! www.snopes.com/news/2025/04...

Trump declared yesterday "liberation" Day: Liberation: The action of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release Example: the liberation of all political prisoners The last time he used that word was to release felonious insurrectionists. Be worried.

From an AP story, this was used as evidence of terrorism: " An agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wrote in an affidavit that authorities found writings critical of the government and DOGE in his bedroom and wallet." Can you spell "Police State?"
