Worth watching twice.
Governor Newsome and Mayor Bass have risen to the occasion.
Time to tell a few big donors to stuff their checks.
If people are willing to risk arrest and beatings or death in the streets to stop this, you can risk some donation money.

(25,741 posts)When many in Congress were WW2 veterans, and had had their friends killed or maimed, or had been wounded themselves, fighting fascism.
This is why people like Tammy Duckworth have no fear of these fascist pigs.

The ESTABLISHMENT (DNC) is part of the fucking problem. I refuse to give ANY of them ANY more $$ until I see some grit and BALLS!
I like this woman, she is no bullshit and says exactly what I've been feeling and thinking... WE knew this was gonna get scaru and messy before NOW...and they still think we're going to get anywhere playing by the RULES? I'm beyond pissed and I hope someone sends this video to All of them... whiny pussies who don't wanna get their hands dirty...

Trump wanted to squash resistance from congressional Democrats in the bud, and make them risk averse.
Fortunately some, like Padilla, are not cowed by authoritarian assholes.

(15,517 posts)It's absolutely galling to think they are cowed so easily. Yeah, yeah, they have families, etc etc... but you know, maybe the COUNTRY is more important sometimes, unless they want their kids growing up in the fields as veggie pickers too.
I know this is a democratic site and we aren't supposed to rant against the party. BUT the corporate-sponsorship os ALL politicians is the problem IMO. Big money talks and we suffer the consequences. ...and it DOES happen on both sides...
