I just saw the first commercial to support immigrants

by the ACLU on CNN. I read on DU that they were going to start running the ads.

700+ cities hosting FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER rallies

on Sat, June 30th.
https://act.moveon.org/event/families-belong-together_attend1/search/

I REALLY DO CARE, DO U?
700+ nationwide protests planned June 30th KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER. Spread the word and RESIST....IT WORKS!
Find an event near you, donate, make phone calls and write to your reps, sign the petition. THANKS!!!!

The executive order that Donald Trump signed today is not a solution to the crisis created by his administration; it keeps kids imprisoned indefinitely, and doesn't reunite thousands of separated families. But it does show the administration is reacting to public pressure, so we will continue to increase our pressure for justice at hundreds of events on Saturday, June 30, to say that families belong together.

Why do I want term SCOTUS limits and abolition of the electoral college

whenever days like this pop up? Is this a "bad loser" attitude that I have or are these non partisan positions that are valid issues due to the current population of the US since the constitution was written over 250 years ago?

Is there a silver lining to Kennedy retiring?

Yes, bad that he is leaving during the age of the moron but....
It wasn't a strong liberal judge like Ginsberg
This could get more women to vote liberal in the midterms
This could get more millennials to vote. Period.


*In the meantime CALL and WRITE your reps and "spread the word" via social media, etc.

A city councilman is ahead of his opponent by just 2 votes...

proving "every vote counts". In San Diego they are still counting ballots from the election that was held several weeks ago.

I REALLY DO CARE, DO U?

That was on several signs today at the protest in San Diego (another one is planned for June 30th and several thousand were at the rally today downtown. Two congress members were there (both Dems) and various speakers discussing how this is the beginning. Donate, sign petitions, write and call your reps, etc.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
