Texas Progressive Democrat. 🌊💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♂️♀️⚧️✊🏿 All are safe and welcome here. This is NOT a dating site! NEVER tRumper/8647. 🚫maga🚫crypto🚫porn. Human rights. Women's rights! LGBTQ+ rights! Fuck the Oligarchs!!! DUE PROCESS! Uphold our Constitution!

The constitution made it difficult to corrupt elections by having them administered locally. The senile old man's rant is an attempt to retain power by nationalizing the election. Why else has he dismantled agencies which were designed to improve the safety and security of voting?

Today's #MustRead by @thomhartmann.skystack.xyz via @dailykos.com What Trump told us last night is that he's willing to do ANYTHING to hold onto power. He could, he will, because he’s already tried it once. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Excerpt from story linked in comment

Which is why the useful work right now isn’t reactive, and it isn’t something we do in November. It’s finding out, before November, what the people around us are going to do.

— Go meet your county election officials; they’re mostly your neighbors, and in a lot of counties they’re the ones who’ll be standing between a federal agent sent by Trump and a ballot box with nobody backing them up.

— Ask your sheriff, on the record, at a public meeting, whether he takes orders from Washington or from the county.

— Ask your state legislators what the plan is if the National Guard shows up, because most of them probably haven’t thought about it and they damn well should. Ask your governor and state attorney general.

— Find out which lawyers in your town do election work and whether they’re organized. Get to know the people on your block well enough that you can call them at midnight, if necessary.

— Get to know your local elected officials and, in the few months ahead, show up at your local Democratic Party meeting.

People who’ve already decided what they’ll do, and who know that the folks around them decided the same thing, behave completely differently when the moment arrives than people who are trying to figure it out on the spot.

That’s not optimism. It’s just how it’s always worked, in Selma and Kiev and Manila and everywhere else people have looked at an illegal order or an out-of-control authority figure and said, “No.”

What matters most in the next four months is going to happen at the local level, in county commission meetings and election offices that nobody’s watching.

Go be somebody who’s watching.

Tom Homan is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being. He cares only for the safety of his goon squads and doesn't give a shit about all of the innocent people they torture and murder. F U C K that asshole!!! 😡 www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Tom Homan: Democrats should ‘shut their mouth’ about ICE killings

Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your senators and rep to keep the SAVE act out of the national security spending bill. Don’t forget to mention Todd "I'm his lawyer" Blanche to your senators. Check your voter registration often at vote.org hartmannreport.com/p/midterm-el...
