Notices by Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS! (maryaustinbooks@mstdn.social)

They can arrest judges, but they can't arrest millions of people in the streets.

It was ALWAYS going to come down to us.

Reupping this to remind us all that these are scared, pathetic men.

Yes, it is frightening to see a judge arrested, to see people sent to some gulag, to see our right to vote threatened, all this stuff. But don't ever forget how fucking terrified these people are over absolutely everything, even the most trivial matters. They are all terrified of us, far more so than we are of them.

The world: Uh, USians, you okay?
The US:

Keep at it y'all!

I'd just like to point out that the Pope will grant an audience to a wallaby, but not to JD Vance.

And that's how how it should be.

You're telling me it's a shit show at DOD with a drunk Fox News host for SecDef? No way! :eyeroll:

Anti-fascists projected this message onto the Old North Church in Boston last night.

"One if by land, two if by D.C."

Once in residency, I was so exhausted I shut the cats out of the bedroom so I could sleep. I forgot they had no litter box. God bless them, they knocked papers off my desk and used them as litter. When I woke up and saw that, I Iavished affection and treats on them. What good cats! And it was my fault they had to do that.

I unintentionally taught them that peeing in the litter box is good, but peeing on papers is GREAT! Then I had to be very careful not to leave papers lying out.

Yes, on https://www.fiftyfifty.one, anybody can start an event! There are small groups protesting regularly even in deep red counties. Those people are damn heroes.

@FlashMobOfOne
Some have been in the game from the beginning (though too few!) and some are getting in the game more now that we are leading. Some are still pretty useless. I trust this will get sorted out in primaries if and when we demand our democracy back.

If we get the right to vote, and we have elections, and there are still parties, I will still vote blue no matter who, believe me. But yeah, we have to get to that point, and to get to that point we need fighters, not collaborators.

@FlashMobOfOne
Towards that end I will celebrate any Dem who starts to show they have skin in the game. Actually, with Van Hollen specifically, I hear from people in Maryland that he's always been pretty awesome.

Senator Murkowski: We're all afraid.

Senator Van Hollen: I have successfully negotiated with two dictators to find and meet with my constituent in a gulag in El Salvador.

It has been __0__ days since a #Republican was outed as a sex offender.

😂 Every time I see a screengrab from Twitter, I get a wave of relief I'm long gone from it. It's that feeling of waking up from a nightmare, every time.

This being Mastodon, somebody will probably yell at you for posting a Nazi bar site screengrab, even in this context. But I say you're doing the Lord's work reminding us how much it sucks over there.

@JonChevreau @RegGuy @mloxton @NinaBernstein1
Racism, sexism, media failure, and willful refusal to vote blue all played roles. But Greg Palast, a respected investigative journalist, describes how Kamala Harris was also shafted out of victory by Jim Crow voter suppression on steroids. He doesn't even go into the open Russian terrorism in swing state Dem districts. Just straight up disenfranchising people did it.

This isn't conspiracy theory stuff.

Omg STOP 🤣
Because no one was hurt, that is hilarious. Become ungovernable! 🐧

My house panther says, "There were coyotes all around when I showed up. I was freezing my butt off in the snow. I wasn't sure where my next meal would come from. But I HOWLED MY HEAD OFF letting Mary know that her constituent needed Friskies, and now I'm an indoor cat. Be like me. Howl your fucking heads off at the people in charge."

Via Jess Piper for Missouri, a rural Dem organizer:

The tide is turning in rural southwestern Missouri. Even people who don't have the morals to loathe this hatred and scapegoating are starting to see that it's just a smokescreen for corruption.

You wanna know what is going on in rural MAGAland, follow Jess Piper.

#GOP #MAGA #LGBT

Tim Walz is still charging around the country holding town halls in districts where AWOL #GOP Congress critters are too scared to face their constituents. Most recently, he went to #WestVirginia and #Ohio. Here's a compilation of voters' questions from a bunch of town halls he has held.

These are voters in red districts with urgent questions about how their families are going to survive. And they are seeing that only a #Democrat will even talk to them.

The Opinionated Ogre NAILS IT. Protests work by waking up people who are in social comas and showing them things are not normal. And we give permission for nervous white people in MAGAland to say "But now it's gone too far" or whatever line they want to say instead "Whoops, the leopard ate my face."
