Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Art is resistance. Keep making it! ✨
A very long time ago, my mother made lunch for all the men who helped with harvest. Made her famous rhubarb pie & forgot the sugar! It was beautiful but even the dog refused to eat it. 😊 At least your biscuits were edible.
