Please while you are at it, flag every use of "plain clothes" to describe the ICE uniform of hoodies and black everything. It is outrageous that the NYTimes of all publications is calling thug-wear plain clothes as if they were chinos and button down collars.
I’m on vacation but I’ll be reposting anything I see when I can. Make good trouble everyone.
I did see a No Kings sign in a local shop yesterday morning and stopped in to have an awesome chat with the owner. Also bought a couple small things to support the business. Solidarity!
Surgery keeps me off my feet but sent 50+ postcards yesterday to Republican Senators decrying the INCOMPETENCE and INHUMANITY of the corrupt Trump regime and calling for the firing of Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, Patel, Gabbard, McMahon and other “prominent” Cabinet members.
Way to go! I send postcards as well and I include stickers telling people to look at Meidas Touch for the facts. I'm going to also include Scott Dworkin.
I hope you are back on your feet soon! I'm a big postcard writer but mostly to voters and prospective voters! I am currently writing for the VA legislative races but their are other options too.
Here's a link to a note I wrote earlier this month about some great postcarding options in case you want to branch out:
Hello Scott - I have to say as a subscriber I always look for your report first. You give the news be it good or bad but how you write it makes it easier to take or fist pump furiously to.
This afternoon a carpool of people from Cheboygan are heading over to Petoskey for the John Lewis Make Good Trouble rally. For a small town we are protesting locally every other week on various topics. Our intent is to keep the issues front and center and take the one finger salutes as well as the horns honked in support.
Way to go! I actually did two protests this morning and was home by 11:30 am! Our Charlotte, NC indivisible group has been sponsoring small pop-up "Visibility" protests at busy intersections through out the week at different times. This week they got the organizers for all of these pop-ups to hold all the weekday protests today! There are a couple of weekend protests that will still be on the weekend). A couple of the sites that are normally only in the afternoon added a morning session. I went to one of those from 7:30 - 9:00 am and then I headed south to Waxhaw, a small community in ruby red Union County. I had previously attended a May Day protest there and really enjoyed helping those progressives in the lion's den of MAGA land. Lots of good support in both locations!
I attended a protest this morning on a commercial corridor in a Minneapolis suburb. Demonstrators numbered approximately 300, most older and retired like me. Virtually every passing driver gave her/his support by honking horn and/or thumbs up. In my sightline, only one older guy gave us the middle-finger salute.
IMO, I thought Prince Andrew taking one for the team was a huge mistake. It just tipped us off as to what kind of money we’re talking here. How many men? What powers do or did they wield, and to whoever they are beholden or beholden to them. Watched Katie Couric’s podcast with Tim Miller from Bulwark and David Boies, attorney for plaintiffs in the Epstein case. WOW! Now there’s more people who want to see this train wreck come to fruition! I know I do !
I have zero (ZERO) faith that Liar, Fraud, Con, Criminal Trump will agree to release, or order the the DOJ to release, ALL of the evidence that the DOJ has in its possession about the Epstein investigation. Key word being "ALL."
Liar, Fraud, Con, Criminal Trump is now using the word "credible" rather than using the word "all." And, he is doing that to HIDE everything that the DOJ gathered up. You can bet your ass that he will instruct Liar, Fraud Bondi to never release ANY document that includes his name. This ploy is exactly what criminals like Trump do - HIDE THE FACTS. Documents that are released will either be heavily redacted or pages will be missing.
I'm going to wear my No Kings shirt to tonight's demonstration in Foley Square, Manhattan. It's actually the seat of the federal government, not like Bryant Park where we usually have our demos.
And Jasmine Crockett is my kinda gal… “I love the fact that I live rent-free in his [trump’s] head”: this woman is my new hero!
Those were just a couple bits I truly chuckled at, gems in the gloom of facts presented in yet another great Dworkin article, (facts that highlight the sheer ridiculousness of it all).
Listen TODAY to Morgan Freeman's reading of Lewis' essay that he wrote right before he died five years ago. It remains even more relevant than ever! Our fight for democracy and civil rights continues....get out and make Good Trouble today!

Have done that many times now (the NOAA and NWS thing)… what’s the harm in one more? Though my people in congress are already on our side.✊
And just did the ICE demasking/id thing now.
Thanks for the great resources to speak out to those in power, Scott!!
Thank you so much Wis!

I will take a look at that Sharon thank you

This is amazing! Thank you for your hard work.
I surely hope you either wrote one to Mike Johnson and added him to the list of those who need to be fired/impeached/removed!
Hope you are on the mend Sally! Keep being the rockstar who inspires folks like me!
Ones you mentioned are suppose to represent all of us, is there any way public can FIRE them?
Yup. Vote them out.
Wishing you a well recovery. Thanks for sending postcards.

Go you Michiganders!! Wisconsin will stand up with you anytime.
Thank you, Sherri! Grand Rapidian here, and I have to work today, but I’ll be with you in spirit!

Thank you Sherri! You rock!
I’m planning to call legislators and attend an event tonight at the Civil Rights Museum.
Thanks Karen!
I’ll be making good trouble with my buddies all day long
Love Jasmine Crockett! She is a force and I am grateful for her intelligent passion every time I hear her! Thanks, Scott!
She makes Texas proud, to be sure!
Thanks Teresa!
Send all those Guard troops to Kerrville to help with recovery efforts!
Agreed!
The MELT Act- I love it!!
The Dworkin Report is what I look forward to reading everyday. It is food for motivation and activism rather than despair.
Thank you TV!
100% Nothing better with my morning coffee.
I'm honored Mary!!!
Ghislaine Maxwell is to Donald Trump as the Watergate Tapes were to Richard Nixon.
She knows all, needs protection.

It's getting so much worse now LD! We need Maxwell to testify in public

I’ll be out rallying early evening making good trouble.
Thank you for your courage and all you do with it.

Morgan Freeman is now on tour. I wonder if he'll read that on tour. I wonder if he performs that on tour.
Yes!
