More and more evidence keeps coming out that right wing groups instigated at least some of the violence....

@cephalopie

When he called out for his dead momma, the hearts of moms through the world broke. He summoned us. I cannot, with my health and also being a caretaker for my DH, who is in worse health, join the wall.

But I am trying my best to support them politically, gave a donation to the ACLU, writing, and wishing I was young and healthy enough to be there with them. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I feel bad, like I SHOULD be there.

“Black Lives Matter. That’s why we’re here … I’m a mom, and I heard George when he called out ‘mama.’ That’s why I’m here.”

A Portland mother explains why she continues to protest.

I am a prepper. Always have a good stock of food and supplies. When you live rural that’s pretty common. But this year I am so glad for it. Expanded the garden a bit this year so I can do more canning and dehydrating.

I am not one to violate the TOS, so while I am pretty sure I was reported, thus getting the shadowban, I cannot figure out what I did wrong, if anything. 🤷‍♀️

@Elemi @JGNWYRK

Yes, it’s terrible over there. I have blocked THOUSANDS. And yet, the other day I was followed by a MAGAt. I went to its page and it had already blocked me. I noticed that my account was unusually quiet, no retweets, no replies, no likes.

So I ran my account through the shadowban checker, and sure enough, shadowbanned.

That prompted me to try to find my login info for this site so I could get back here.

Awake to early and trying to be quiet so as not to wake everyone else up. It’s too early to get up and make coffee.

The one other creature in the house who’s awake is my cat. She’s purring and trying to get between my face and my iPad. I think she’s trying to tell me to put it away and go back to sleep.

@mrbunnylamakins pointing a gun at someone invites death. Folks think they look tough, carrying guns to protests, to Statehouses, etc. But brandishing a gun in a way that puts another in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm gives them the right to kill you in self defense in many (not all) states.

Trump’s Pitch Announcement Was News to the Yankees, Report Says
CURVEBALL

President Trump’s announcement last week that he’d be throwing the opening pitch at a Yankees game on Aug. 15 shocked his own staffers and the New York team—because it hadn’t actually been scheduled, The New York Times reports.

- Requesting our vote by mail ballots in August.

- writing 10 to 20 per week to help with voter turnout

- doing family and friends advocacy to get them to vote (by mail where possible)

- donating small sums of money to various down ballot candidates

- helping in a local campaign that is trying to unseat a Trumpist

I have been so impressed with the videos that VoteVets is doing this year. One 🔥 after another.

This one is one of their best, though:

@InvaderGzim @michaelredmond

Thanks for donating. I have been a “card carrying member” for years. And those of a certain age might remember that reference. 😏

@Myrth @michaelredmond
Just donated... Thanks for a reminder that I can't sit by and do nothing. Donating to
ACLU and FFRF are my way...

@Synical I rarely post about counter.social on Twitter. I should do so more often. Maybe I will if they ever lift my shadowban.
