Don't forget we have a good, competent candidate - Shawn Harris - trying to flip MTG's district in NW GA. Check him out and if you like what you see, send him some coin for this difficult to win district.

Claire's avatar

Agreed! I don't know if he is getting enough attention.

Stephen Brady's avatar

We really need him in the House!

The Senate votes this week on opening up The Boundary Waters for mining. Now is a really important time to contact your Senators and asking them to vote NO!

I have some more information here: https://www.lovelyparkspeople.com/p/the-grassroots-surge-to-save-minnesota

Done!

Other countries demand accountability for anything connected with Epstein yet here in the United States, his chief ally and best friend is lionized by the right who happen to control all levers of government. But our power comes from the people, not those who want to meddle in our lives, control what we say, how we think. And above all trying to take away our first amendment rights with their second amendment rights.

Jamie Raskin is awesome. I don't know how many people are aware of the fact that his son took his own life barely a week before all hell broke loose on Jan. 6. In spite of his personal agony, he agreed to become the leader for Donald's second impeachment trial.

Since then, he has fought his own battle with cancer.

He could have taken a back seat at that point and said, "that's all I can handle," but he hasn't. His is the kind of leadership we need in Congress and in the country.

Claire's avatar

Really. I forgot about all that. He is a true patriot.

Richard Waddell's avatar

Indeed. In addition, it a reminder for each one of us to always remember that

the stranger you meet may have a host of very big challenges, and by ALWAYS

being the very kindest we can possibly be, no matter who it is we encounter, or how brief that encounter may be, if it from our very best stash of kindness and sincerity,

we will quite likely lift any number of people in just the very ways they most need.

Go get em Jamie!

Tess's avatar

Jamie Raskin is a great-and I’ll bet he will continue to share what he is seeing in those disgusting files. As for Trump: he doesn’t care about a damn thing! Minnesota is rebelling, so let’s poison the water and environment! Truly disgusting! Thanks for some good news via elections Scott!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thanks Tess!

Scott, Id like to pass some wisdom to the readers. I should have put Raskin in as a hero for the day, but I was typing too fast to keep up with my own brain.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and philosopher, from Self-Reliance (1841), foundational text of transcendentalism and American individualism.

What you carry forward into the burning world: Emerson wrote this 183 years ago and it's still the whole fucking assignment. Every morning you wake up and decide who you are—not who they say you should be, not who would be easier, not who would make them comfortable—but you, actual you.

Our heroes today: (You were one of the three a bit before, so I had to share the love).

1. Audre Lorde — Who taught us that "your silence will not protect you" and that self-care is political warfare when the system wants you dead.

2. Harvey Milk — Who got elected, got shot, and still changed everything by refusing to hide who he loved.

3. Gertrude Stein — Who built a literary salon in Paris where queer artists could exist, create, and thrive when the world said they shouldn't exist at all.

Julie's avatar

You quoted one of my favorite writers. Wish Mr. Emerson was here to help guide us through these turbulent times with his wisdom and kind spirit.

Thank you, Wendy. Good advice is always welcome. 🫂

Today’s good news is uplifting - we are coming up on the 1 ur anniversary of Saturday protests outside tesla and seems like the grounds are building again we’ve never had fewer than 50 people and we continue to fight local issues state issues and federal issues - Loveland CO we are fighting to live up to our name and won’t stop ever!!!!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you Debra!

Claire's avatar

That is fantastic.

Yvonne Moody's avatar

1) I'm tired of the Epstein files, but they should be out so people know with whom they're dealing.

2) The Boundary Waters should not be opened to mining! Our wild areas are treasures and shouldbe preserved.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

So am I Yvonne and I've been on it for a decade so super sick of it!

The Republicans' last gasp is going to be the obscenely named SAVE Act.

There has been some misinformation about it, so as we fight this, let's also be sure not to scare away voters.

The bill doesn't end mail-in voting, and doesn't require a birth certificate and/or passport, unless other forms of ID are not provided.

It does require a REAL ID-compliant driver's license. So be sure to get one, just in case, but most of all, do not, under any circumstances, allow your local congress critter to vote for this new voting law. It's another step in their attempt to disenfranchise voters, particularly women.

It is so pathetic

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Unless they have stuck one of their famous poison pills into the depths of the words in this bill. In which case the whole thing should be discarded.

Richard Waddell's avatar

They could just as well sell fly-paper as a personal hygiene product...just dumb!

Accountability! Lutnick needs to resign!

🗄️ I’m convinced that whatever is in those files must be REALLY bad for the 🍊regime to work so hard to cover it up. Go, Raskin!

🏞️ I’m outraged that 🍊is attempting to sell off our public lands. They belong to We The People, not to him.

Scott I believe that actions like those of Gov. Pritzer are critical to the health of the US. I unfortunately live in a state, FL, where he have an anti-vax governor and a a surgeon general who are clowns and apparently do not have the health of our citizens as their first priority. We are suffering a serious measles outbreak and we hear nothing from the two of them. Even Dr. Oz is now cautioning people to take the MMR vaccine. The MAGA right is doing all that they can to damage the health of the American people.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

I'm so sorry to hear that John!

Suel J's avatar

Oh, is "Dr" Oz showing signs of concern now?? After making sure to spread that anti vax crap extra thick? Is he another ....Susan Collins? Showing such deep concern after the fact? Just another ass.

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Yes he is. When a formerly respectable cardiac surgeon turns into a shill, expect the worst. But now even he is warning about the measles outbreak and urging vaccination. It’s always too late when these guys finally wake up.

Lily's avatar

I don't understand, but I have to ask: was Murdering Americans, Children specifically, in Project 2025? How the fuck can a doctor want children to die? How the fuck can a doctor want Americans to get the measles? Why haven't we heard of Tylenol suing thump and Kennedy? Why the fuck would anyone stop Cancer research? Congress appropriated those funds - did thump and Kennedy pocket the money?

I am not sure what the plan is about vaccines but I I think limiting Medicaid and not subsidizing the ACA insurance premiums is because they really want poor people to die. They are totally opposed to the government supporting anyone other than the billionaires or corporations.

Our Minnesota Boundary Waters are UNDER ATTACK from this Corrupt Regime, Minnesota's own CORRUPT Republican politicians who support this takeover and destruction of our Boundary Waters - Michelle Fischbach, Tom Emmer, Pete Stauber, and Brad Finstad, and a FOREIGN mining company with a HORRIBLE record of destruction and damage. And do NOT for one minute buy the Republican BS about jobs and economic opportunity. ANY of it will be short-lived and the DESTRUCTION will last FOREVER. This is ALL part of the Republican plan to privatize America's resources and SELL them OUT to the highest bidder and DENY Americans the health of our environment. I suggest you read "Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins to see how this all works - for the Billionaires and AGAINST the rest of us. And "Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism" by George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison further shows how the billionaires act by Seizing an area to exploit, Exhaust the resources in that area and leave it in ruins, and then Abandon that area and move on to the next area to exploit. Boom - Bust - Quit! Because as they ruin one area then must move on to another area to exploit and destroy. This is why the mining company and the Republicans who support the billionaires exploitation of all of us have their sights set on the Boundary Waters and OTHER areas in America and the world. And they WILL continue unless we stop them!!
