There is an argument that says, "We have to be polite and silent in our resistance until we win enough elections to be safe when we ask for better." It can sound reasonable and comforting when showing up loud and defiant can get you hurt, imprisoned, or killed. We say NO to all of that.

We insist that voting is the least we can do. We know that speaking up and sharing our opinions, everywhere and at all times, is just the beginning of decency when it comes to equity and justice. We reject the cowardice of "go along to get along" in the face of oppression.

To get what we deserve, as individuals, as a nation, we have to work toward what we want. Otherwise, we have to accept what others deign to give us. Sometimes our work means breaking unjust systems to replace them with the justice we require, through negotiation, persuasion, protest and constraint.

Imagine destroying so much of the common good that it is still a proftable strategy to invest 5% or more into public-benefit funding. 🤪

If your vote didn't matter, this GOP felon administration would not be changing rules, deploying confederates, exploiting gerrymanders, or paying for propaganda to keep you from having your vote counted. Donald J. Trump would not tell his followers to "cheat like hell" if your vote meant nothing.

The sooner you vote, the less likely your voting experience will be hampered by people who seek to stop your vote from being counted. Early voting also allows you to verify that your vote will be counted — or remedy any problems that might occur *before* election day.

If you haven't voted yet, GET INFORMED and vote as soon as possible. If you can, we recommend that you place your ballot in a state approved ballot box, by hand — in order to avoid any possible Postal Service interference. If you have not received a ballot, contact your state Registrar of Voters.

If you're attending a No Kings protest, prepare yourself for the real possibility of interference by oppressors. Know your rights and exercise them strategically. With today focused on *voting*, know what your local and state issues are. Then, promote early voting as much as possible. #Mobilize ✊🏿

Every eligible voter should be able to cast a ballot and have it counted. That's why AFT is mobilizing poll observers across the country to report on any attempts to intimidate voters—especially in light of Trump’s threat to send ICE to polling locations.

npr.orgCivil rights advocates plan to send thousands of observers to midterm polling placesFor many election cycles, civil rights groups and political parties have fanned out to monitor polling places, but the charged midterm environment has many organizations stepping up efforts this year.

This is how the GOP's felon administration wins on policy as fearful people comply to avoid inconvenience:

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

Given the current disruption of our election system perpetrated by this GOP's felon administration, we strongly urge all Americans who are capable of doing so to place their mail-in ballots in the state provided ballot boxes — avoiding the U.S. Postal Service entirely. Yes, this is inconvenient.

But, our postal service is compliant with the GOP agenda to interfere with what has been an extremely safe, secure, and reliable election system for generations, despite GOP fearmongering and propaganda to the contrary, as proven by election fraud data. If you must use the USPS, verify your status.

To be clear, this is how clearly and directly our politicians and societal leaders should stand for civil rights, equity, and justice:

Trump's targeting of @repilhan.bsky.social & weaponization of the federal government is fascism, plain & simple. Just like his attacks on the press. Just like his abduction of immigrants. Just like his assault on our elections. He wants us in a state of fear. But we will NOT be silenced.

Today, and every day, we could all use a little guidance and encouragement. Here's one step in that direction (your mileage may vary, choose your own adventure):

Whether Americans choose to call it Columbus or Indigenous People's Day, our descendants will never forget a genocide by white settlers then, and an ecocide by white oligarchs today.

Representative Omar continues to face the indignities and impunities of GOP actions with grace and conviction. This is the bar we should hold all out politicians to.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Right-wing voter suppression relies on making the ballot box inaccessible, especially to Native voters and young people on tribal lands. But Native youth organizers are organizing back. This #IndigenousPeoplesDay, turn solidarity into action and help us build youth voting power: 🗳️ YouthVoteHQ.org

Indigenous Peoples Day is an opportunity to tell the truth about our history, including stories too often erased. Learning for Justice explores the history of Indigenous enslavement and those working to recover it. https://bit.ly/3BrSzbx #IndigenousPeoplesDay #TheMarchContinues

1 of every 9 Americans lives on the native lands stolen within the borders of what is now known as California. Here is a list of some of the tribes that persist in the world's 4th largest economy: www.visitcaliforniatribes.com/californiatr... Other resources include: tribalaffairs.ca.gov

We *strongly* urge you to educate yourself about native and indigenous cultures wherever you are, with compassion and a humble consideration of what they have lost to afford you the comforts you enjoy now. There are as many ways to live as there are people. May your way help improve the future. ✌🏾

This GOP has been more effective and efficient than any previous GOP administration in tanking our economy and destroying our credibility on the world stage. These numbers only hint at the damage done and yet to come. 🚫🐘💩 #CondemnTheConfederacy #FightTheOligarchy

It should come as no surprise that the GOP's felon administration chose today, the federally recognised day to celebrate bumbling coloniser Christopher Columbus, to raid the home of tenacious defender of civil rights Rep. Ilhan Omar. We support Ilhan. 🖤❤️🤎 @repilhan.bsky.social We reject the GOP.

The most punative, incarceral country in the world has always had a problem with incarcerating innocent people because our systems support and promote and protect the prejudice and bigotry that the nation was founded on. We deserve a better society, in which justice isn't for sale or forsaken.

Mia Farrow@miafarrow.bsky.social

Since 1973, in the US over 200 death row prisoners were exonerated and released due to evidence of innocence. This ratio means that for roughly every 8 people executed 1 person on death row has been exonerated. Via Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC)

Again, Trump is the mascot, not the master. The failure and destruction we are suffering, that affects the entire world, is the direct result of this GOP felon administration's intentional policies and the complicity of centrists and misguided liberals. There is no far left authoritarian regime. ✊🏿

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

No child belongs in a detention center. Not your child. Not someone else’s child. Not any child.

Paramount deal? The question is not how many jobs will be maintained or offered; but what sort of people will be allowed to work and what that work will entail. It is how well the new monopoly will comply with the GOP agenda that is eliminating press freedom. How quiet does this moment demand? 🚫🐘💩

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

As California caves to billionaire pressure on the Paramount issue, we must all prepare for the further consolidation of national propaganda that the precedents being set usher in. Again, our political "defenders" leave us in the mouths of ravenous elites. 🤬 www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/p...
