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

Last month, Rev Dr William Barber and other faith leaders were told they could not pray, or even bow their heads, in the DC Capitol rotunda, because it was an act of protest-- as opposed to smashing windows and attacking Capitol police, which are both apparently fine.

So yesterday for Moral Witness Wednesday, faith leaders went into the Capitol Rotunda on Wednesday to pray together.

Senator Booker has forced the corporate media to feature a Democrat decrying Trump's attack on healthcare and medical research.

And all it took was the longest floor speech in the history of the US Senate.

The crap weather we were supposed to have today graciously waited for #TeslaTakedown to finish. Much obliged, universe!

My neighbor just texted me this video and suggested we get Maxwell Smart for our next National Security Advisor.

He's got a point, it'd be an improvement.

-Even the most cowardly corporate media will at least cover the worst of this regime

-I'm doing protests like they're Girl Scout merit badges because there are ALWAYS SO MANY! YAY! Also if anyone else in the resistance can draw (I definitely can't) Protest Merit Badges would be hilarious.

-It might not sound good, but I went to the Scary Bathroom today. There's an old derelict outhouse on a hiking trail I passed for the first time this spring...

Sleazy AWOL #GOP Congress critters might think the pressure will be off now that they avoided their constituents for all of March recess.

They should think again.

Protests and empty chair town halls will be continuing! Tomorrow in Scottsdale AZ people will be protesting against Rep Schweikert, who's too big a coward to face his constituents.

Yes! I just went to my 11th protest today since early February. I can't begin to describe how different this situation feels when you get out there and yell "Fuck Donald Trump!" in public with thousands of other people. The fear and anxiety evaporate and you get a cathartic expression of the anger.

That is indeed what the fascists DON'T want, so let's do it!

Bernie and AOC are now speaking to a crowd of 23,000 in Tucson, bringing their crowd total from the last few days to 86k people.

If you go through my feed I've been posting videos and pictures and local news articles about the protests that are going on every day all over the United States.

At any other time in my lifetime, this would have been swamping the landing pages on every #media outlet. I just checked CNN, CBS, and ABC and NOT ONE SINGLE WORD. They're all like Baghdad Bob: "There are no Americans protesting!"

If that makes you as angry as it makes me, let the networks know!

Today's #TeslaTakedown in Pasadena, #California is the biggest this organizer has seen! She says lots of people are talking about #SocialSecurity. (We also talked about that and all the other issues at the Tesla Takedown I went to today.)

She puts it well: "The Republicans are building a trap they are going to fall into and never come out of. And Elon Musk is leading the way."

I just went hiking to get my exercise in before going out to protest this afternoon.

Enough green shoots are poking up through the yellow-brown dead winter grass, it was producing that color called "spring green" in person. I sent a picture to my neighbor and wrote "Is that GREEN I see?"

He wrote back "I hope so" and i realized on the screen it still looked pretty brown. So I took another picture of the green shoots at my feet and said "It is."

Such an allegory for what's going on...

James Murdoch, Rupert's relatively left leaning and hence estranged son

Seriously.

If I suddenly had billions I would live in a witch's hut in a forest with my cats and give money to charity and basically chill. I'd be the online version of Baba Yaga.

Wyoming not only voted for #Trump, but they chose a QAnon RWNJ over Liz Cheney for their Representative. Let's see how it's going!

Oh yeah, Musk wants to destroy the Postal Service, which would destroy these people's way of life.

ICYMI: Sideshow Bob wants toxic additives out of food and thinks riboflavin (vitamin B2) is one of them. This article contains a link to the asshat blathering about this on Instagram, so it's really not in question whether he knows what riboflavin is.

This is one of several reasons I hit the streets immediately, even when we wondered whether it was safe. (It is.) These people are gonna kill us all one way or another.

BWAHAHA! Tim Walz continues his rampage through districts with AWOL #GOP Congress critters! He's in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, tonight. He'll be talking to the voters because #MAGA Derrick Van Orden is too scared to.

Hey, some #Democrats know how to take the fight to the Nazis!

Yes, he and Bernie and AOC are doing amazing things to talk to Republicans ad swing voters who realize they've been betrayed. And WITHOUT becoming transphobes or otherwise compromising their values.

Well, Nancy, that's what happens when you prop up a dictatorship that's destroying people's lives. If you're too scared to face your constituents NOW, imagine how it's going to be when you destroy their Medicaid and SNAP! Make better decisions, Congresswoman.

Meanwhile in Delaware, Rep. Sarah McBride-- whom Mace has relentlessly tormented for no good reason-- is talking to her constituents. A thousand joined a town hall yesterday. They seem to like her a lot better.
