    If you don't vote in every single election... you're complicit. If you don't vote, you're exemplifying gross privilege. If you don't vote, you're giving up the only power we have left. If you don't vote, you are the problem... not the solution. If you don't vote, you bought into the propaganda that your vote doesn't count. If you don't vote... you suck. If you don't vote, you're hurting innocent people and that is your karma to pay.

    #DavidBrooks makes noise about how many people are moving to #redstates from #bluestates. He is foolish to assume that those people will vote #Republican, especially after experiencing the lack of #services, the horrendous #education, and the erosion of #civilrights happening in red states. #Arizona was reliably red, and then millions of people moved there. It has since passed through purple to blue.

  11. Trump Says It Out Loud: GOP Prioritizes War Over Healthcare, Childcare, and Survival

    Trump openly dismisses healthcare and childcare as scams, revealing a GOP agenda that prioritizes war over people and shifts the burden to struggling states.

  12. "'Organizers said two-thirds of participants who signed up live in suburban, small town or rural areas. That's a 40% increase over last time in protesters from outside big cities. The left-leaning protests with the Revolutionary-era call against President Donald Trump as a would-be monarch and authoritarian had the broadest geographic reach of any single-day protest in the United States in more than a half-century [that's an indirect reference to Earth Day 1970].'"

  13. "'This time, there were more events scheduled − 3,300 versus 2,700 − and larger crowds were reported in some places, boosted in part by opposition to the war in Iran. In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than 1 of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally.'"

  14. "It wasn't just bigger than the previous #nokings. It was different. Here's how USA Today unpacks that: 'The organizers' crowd count, not verified by independent analysts, put the total at 8 million people, topping the 7 million estimated at the previous No Kings day, in October.'"

  15. Rachel Maddow looks at the nationwide (and worldwide) No Kings protests and notes that in the US, they were a "kind of a red state spring happening. More signups, more planned protests against Trump in red states and in places specifically even within red states that voted for Trump."

    An indicator of a notable shift away from Trump even in places previously joined at the hip to him and MAGA….

  16. "The weakening of public schools and the devaluing of teachers and the dismissal of the Liberal Arts are part of a deliberate effort to reshape America into a place where fewer people can think critically or organize collectively or question the power of those in power."

  17. "And I’ve got to hope that there are many, many more people whose stomachs are quietly turning and whose consciences still whisper at night. If they can find some friends, maybe they can find their power. That’s what it took for me in my life. Just a few friends to give me just a little courage."

  18. "Being your true self is downright heroic. Just opening your mouth in a book club or business lunch takes courage and strength. And tremendous endurance. Swimming against the tide is exhausting. It would be so easy to stop paddling and be carried away.

    I believe resistance, however timid and small, is also more consequential there. Courage is contagious."

  19. Holly Berkley Fletcher reports on her recent week in Oklahoma, "one of the reddest of red states." She was impressed by the courage and conviction of people she met there who are resisting Trump. She writes,

    "Resisting tyranny feels great here [in DC]. To be honest, it’s pretty easy. In truth, I’ve never felt more energized.

    But in Oklahoma? It’s a daily slog."

  20. During the #NoKings protests across the #UnitedStates - even in #RedStates such as #Tennessee - it was clear that there are many more of us #normies than there are #MAGA #cult members.

    Additionally, there are only 2 *types* of #MAGA cult members; #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump the *leader* of the cult, and millions of replicants of this guy ⬇️ #IvanRaitlin , a cult *follower* with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome. foxnews.com/politics/watch-for

  26. @drahardja

    Interesting that they mainly appear to be located in #TheSouth & in #RedStates.

    Is this just a coincidence or are there specific reasons why this is the case?🤔

  27. Now I understand why #BananaRepublicans in #Tennessee and other #RedStates were so eager to end #CommonCore #education standards, despite marked improvements in standardized test scores measured by #PISA. (Gains were *historic* in Tennessee: tn.gov/former-governor-haslam/).

    Re-election of twice-impeached and 34-count felon #DonaldTrump *after* #AmericanCarnage 1.0 AND a #FailedCoupAttempt required a #MAGA base that could easily be bamboozled by #Trump #MATH.

    Look! He lowered price of gas by 30,000%!

  28. @SocraticEthics The #UnitedStates had to ‘make nice’ with #Belarus because the principal soure of #potash for #American #farmers has been #Canada which has its #ElbowsUp 💪 and is selling to other buyers in retaliation to #TrumpTaxes on #Canadian exports into the #USA. fertilizerdaily.com/20250224-w

    It’s one thing for farmers in #RedStates to not be able to sell their #Soybeans for a profit. It’s another to not be able to GROW them!

    #Resist the #kakistocracy in #USpol.

  29. @Nonilex Reminder that #American #farmers in #RedStates were among the most vocal opponents when #JoeBiden attempted to pass #StudentLoanForgiveness.

    #Bailout for me, #bankruptcy for thee.

    #Russia and its Agent #Krasnov have successfully cultivated divisiveness in #USpol that the ‘American Dream’ has migrated to #Canada 🇨🇦 and may never come back. Sad. macleans.ca/news/canada/the-am

  30. #TACOPEDO and the #GOPedo #Repugliqunts hate you #Murrica!
    #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

    acoording to #OrangeShitler the #TACOpedo, people in #RedStates "don't use S.N.A.P." so if you're an unemployed #Repugliqunt struggling to put food on your family's table.. have fun!

    Red State Workers Could Lose Out on Disability Benefits as Trump Administration Rewrites Eligibility Rules

    • No Age Preference: Until now, Social Security disability benefits got easier to qualify for as a person reached 50 and above. The Trump plan would end that.

    • New Work World: The administration contends that injured laborers have more access to technology and more nonphysical job options than in the past.

    • Red State Blues: Under the plan, millions — particularly in states that voted for Trump — could find it more difficult to qualify for disability benefits in the future."

  32. @SocraticEthics The largest protests were in #BlueStates and on a weekend. They were encouraging, but performative.

    They need to grow in size, be equally strong in #RedStates , and be midweek combined with a #GeneralStrike to have an *impact* on #USpol.

  33. 95% of the poorest counties in America are Republican.

    So tell me again about how Democrats are the ones mooching off the system.

  34. . Here’s the simple truth the only difference between a red state and a blue state? People showing up, organizing, and fighting. Blue states didn’t wait. Red states did. Stop waiting for someone else. #TakeAction #GetOrganized #RedStates #Republican #GOp #MikeJohnson .

  35. @HumToTable If you're a Dem or a left leaning Indie like I am there is no choice, IMO, but to Vote #YesON50 in order to offset the ballot rigging efforts of #Drumpf & his minions in Texas &, even that may not be enough, because there are efforts in other #RedStates to gerrymander their districts to give the #Repubs & unfair advantage in the next election (either 2026 or 2028) depending on how soon it can be done. 😡

    The No on 50 people are ridiculous to claim that doing this in CA will take away the right of the voters to choose because I heard no such complaint when Texas did it & the only reason Newsome sponsored the prop to do it here was because of that they did in Texas

    So, it's only fair that we doing it on the other side here. 🤷‍♂️

  36. Mississippi declares emergency over high infant mortality rates, the highest in the nation. The state never expanded Medicaid. It usually ranks number one in poverty.
    Also has the highest maternal mortality rate in the US, worse than Iraq and just a little better than Guatemala.
