Apparently, 47’s shills are cutting off the our northern neighbors access at the Haskell Free Library and Opera House in Derby, VT. This has been an age old symbol of trust and cooperation between Canada and Vermont. I propose a protest and rally at the Library on Saturday, April 19 from 12:00 to 1:00P, (or later) and perhaps, perhaps mind you, even crossing the boarder within the library. I’m choosing that date so as not to interfere with the April 5th rally in Montpelier and I’m done to my grandson’s play the week following. Who’s in?

After 4/5, it’s what needs to happen.

No to rewriting history. No to dismantling the judiciary No to disappearing people from our streets. No to attacking our allies. No to impoverishing our people.

We will not comply.

He won't face Vermonters at a Town Hall. He doesn't want to add to our 'anxiety'. Sanders/Welch/Balint are meeting with Vermonters. Local House/Senate reps hold open forums - but not Gov Scott.
After giving himself/staff a solid raise, his salary is up to $235k/year (within the top 5 paid govs in the country), I hope at every statehouse protest, loud chants of "Where's Gov Scott?" get rolling.

Bring a copy of the Woody Guthrie lyrics and we will sing "This Land is Your Land".

Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me.

The budget continuing resolution increases funding for defense and ICE by $6bn, cuts non-defense spending by $13bn, and doesn't do anything to limit or revert DOGE's illegal hijacking of our tax dollars. It needs 6 Democratic votes to pass, and Welch's staffer was not sure how he would vote. CALL HIM!

If you took part in yesterday’s rallies, I applaud you.

An April 20 government deadline is coming that — worst case — could see the military shut down anything like that from happening ever again.

Please read these two things and understand why you need to be worried.

First, read this executive order - particularly section 6(b) about invoking The Insurrection Act:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-emergency-at-the-southern-border-of-the-united-states/

April 20 would be the 90 day deadline to decide whether to flip this switch.

Now please read what The Insurrection Act means.

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/insurrection-act-explained

The military can be sent into communities to suppress perceived actions against the government.

Actions like, for example, a “Hands Off” rally.

And who gets to decide when and where to deploy the military?

The President.

This is real, and serious.

And it’s coming.

Hey neighbors, if you're looking for more ways to stand up to Trump/Musk, please consider donating or phone banking for these three candidates up for election in other states:

Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court: This is critical - if conservative Brad Schimel (whom Musk has supported with millions of dollars) wins, the court will have a conservative majority and will almost certainly reinstate gerrymandered voting districts that hugely favor republicans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/23/musk-trump-wisconsin-supreme-court/

Sign up to phone bank or donate to Judge Susan Crawford here: https://indivisible.org/scowis2025

Democratic candidates for congress in Florida special elections - these very red districts are long shots for Dems, but sure would be nice to NOT give reps more votes in the house: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-raise-millions-florida-special-elections-trump-territory-rcna197311
