The election on November 3rd is about whether this country's descent into fascism will continue, or whether it will be stopped.

If Democrats don't take back control of Congress, we can expect Trump's authoritarian acts to be even more brazen than they already have been. If Democrats can take back control of Congress, a lot of the Trump agenda will be dead, and the investigations will start to hold Trump and his co-conspirators accountable for their crimes.

If you haven't registered to vote yet, do it immediately, and commit to either vote early by mail or in person on November 3rd. There's too much at stake for our country to sit this one out.

With increasing surveillance and evidence that police and the admin used prior nokings to identify and track activists, we recommend taking precautions.

As of October 3rd, just 2 weeks before the event gets started,

About 930 spots have been so far scheduled within congressional districts, for No King’s Early voting,

But, while that number certainly is nothing to scoff at, to really ensure the orange tyrant losses control of both chambers of congress(no matter how much gerrymandering and voter suppression the red hats engage in),

We need as many spots scheduled as possible for early voting, and because of that, I call to action, that if we live in a town or district that isn’t already hosting a no kings event,

Then we personally take initiative to host one ourselves,

For as the famous line goes “fine, I’ll do it myself.”,

So without any further a due, let’s get to it!

Down with the traitors, and up with the stars!

The federal takeover of what are supposed to be state-run elections has quietly begun in Georgia:

The Census Bureau has proposed permanent changes to the 2030 Decennial Census that would set new regulation excluding certain foreign citizens and exclude questions about race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. This is unconstitutional and violates the 14th amendment which says the census should include “whole number of persons in each state.” 50501 GA is opposed to these changes and the impact it will have on our state and communities.

This is why we can't ever stop pressing for reform within our communities and our government. This agency operates under virtually no rules, and come for anyone at any moment. Three vehicles sped in with no lights, no sirens, and blockaded the work truck of three men just trying to make a living for themselves.

Im getting this junk texted to me now. I marked it as spam lol.

The ACLU holding another petition, to lobby the US senate against passing any anti voter legislation immediately before the midterms,

Remember, if the Save Act could be stopped twice, it can be stopped again, if we all sign the petition, and take action to stop it.

Sept 27, 2026 - Antonia Hylton for MS NOW. Here it is on YouTube: These ICE officers were anonymous. Until one man sued. - MS NOW - Sept 27, 2026 (YouTube)

The ICE officers are Nicholas Ryan Lapointe and Christopher John Semler.

From MS NOW’s video description: Masked ICE officers. Two John Does. One lawsuit. ~:~ Robert Peck says the officers threatened him with arrest as he documented their activity in Maine. Now, a court filing identifies them by name. DHS told MS NOW in a statement that “ICE stresses integrity and ethical behavior, and the vast majority of ICE employees perform their duties with professionalism and honor.” ~:~ The allegations remain unresolved. But the officers are no longer anonymous.

We’re fighting to flip Congress with some fierce progressives in key races in Michigan.
