Ready to risk your life to stop a Trump dictatorship from destroying the U.S. & life on this planet? [View all]

I am.

I'll put on a mask, gloves, gown, shield - whatever I can get - and stand in as long a line as I have to vote this fascist bastard out!

We need a PPE drive...for voters! (homemade, please)

Wisconsin proved the GOP is willing to KILL PEOPLE to win this election.


Trump is leading a war against a mail-in election - and all red state legislators and the Supreme Court majority will make voting by mail as difficult and limited as possible!

This is our challenge. This is our moment to face the Hitler-like threat of the 21st century.

I'm afraid we're going to have to physically be in the trenches to save this democracy - in awe-inspiring numbers!!

And if we can overcome their hacking and voter suppression and put Biden in the White House, and sweep the Senate, we're going to have to kill the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court with at least 2 extra members!

This illegitimate Putin puppet should never have been allowed to appoint two members, and Moscow Mitch owes us a third.
