Democrats who "get it"

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/08/democrats-who-get-it.html

We are in a Constitutional crisis that is getting worse with every day that goes by. We have a weak minded, demented, morally bankrupt, corrupt, grifter in the White House who has no ability to be President of this country, and who is using this office for his own benefit. It's not just his bad politics that are destroying the country, it is his incompetence in dealing with the day to day duties of his office that are killing it.

Unfortunately, looking ahead to the future , we should be able to see that we cannot endure until there is a chance to make a change at the ballot box. This man is engineering the means to steal elections, and it is likely that he already has done so. He led an insurrection against the Capitol, an act of sedition, that has gone unpunished, and he pardoned the other conspirators and perpetrators. He stole classified documents from the White House and its hard to tell what he did with them. He's unfit to be President.

The Democratic party establishment had the means to keep him from ever being elected again. But the attorney general that President Biden selected wasn't even competent enough to get this guy into court one time. There was never any real pressure applied, and we couldn't get anything effective done in this regard even when we had control of both houses of Congress, because he didn't want the situation to look too political.

That's where you lost me.

The whole kit and kaboodle.

I’m not saying that one should react to every damn moronic threat issued every 10 minutes, but silence is damn near complicity.

Look what I found:

About this event
CALL-TO-ACTION IN YOSEMITE VALLEY
24th August 2025

A permanent YNP employee was fired last week for displaying the trans flag, in direct violation of the 1st Amendment.

In response, folks are mobilizing to rally and protest for Sunday, 8/24, 12:30pm-3:30pm, in Yosemite Valley.

The rally will start in front of the Yosemite Valley Exploration Center (park in Yosemite Village parking or Yosemite Lodge parking).

NO RESERVATION NEEDED TO GET IN ON THIS DAY.
It is still recommended to get in as early as possible - entrance lines have been really long, especially at south entrance (Wawona). And parking lots have been filling up between 9-11am.

Please note: A core principle behind all our actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
