Lorraine Evanoff: Ro Khanna rants against DEMOCRATS!
When a fascist makes broad sweeps -- pulling together non-documented immigrants, "legal" immigrants (put in quotes, because no person can possibly be "illegal"), and even citizens -- and uses his iron-clad fist to deport these persons, with NO due process, to a torture cell in El Salvador . . .
What business does he have attacking DEMOCRATS!!!
We are friends with diverse backgrounds and opinions.
All we need is core values -- love of neighbor, protection and nurturing of EACH person -- and differences be damned: We must UNITE against an EXECRABLE foe.
I call all those guys out by asking “do you blame rape victims too?” We are victims of a long term coup by the GOP aided by a foreign enemy. Khanna is unqualified for this job. 💔
Exactly, Malcolm. That's why it's harder to get us to just fall in line, we're diverse and we have critical thinking. But there are many more of us than the 1% oligarchs!
Hey Ro Khanna and any others of us lurking in and behind our egos, political and otherwise, this ain't the time. The bigger thing calls all of us towards unity of purpose to reclaim renew and refresh our democracy in the light of what compassion and clear thinking we can take part with and in.
So many thanks Lorraine for your great pics! Feels very similar to my April 5th experience as well here in Sonoma County.... And again to repeat more fiercely and beautifully April 19th everybody...
Thanks for the comment, Robin! Yes this was jarring during such an uplifting rally. It seemed to confuse the crowd too. AOC and Bernie really need to shut him up.
Let's keep attending these, April 19th next unless they change the date.

Quote-unquote, well said!
Great news, great photos and Joan Baez. What more could one ask for? Love the photos of you and the photographer with the long lens dueling it out. Who, I wonder, snapped first? Yes on April 19.
LOL, Carol! That photographer was such a fashionista, I was trying to capture his look but then he started snapping photos LOL. Not sure he was photographing me necessarily, City Hall was right behind me and it was a cool shot!
I didn't know about Khanna turning off voters for Harris. Your comment that Bernie and AOC need to "reign him in"-- I would have used a stronger phrase. Are these rallies aimed at defeating the red hats or forwarding their personal agendas?
Right RC? He was railing against "corporate Democrats" so that can only mean Biden/Harris. But he just sounded unhinged. He's a tech bro too, so very questionable motivations IMO.
Thanks for the report and pics! The moon shots are gorgeous, and bring perspective. WE MUST UNITE against the shit stain and ass kissers, full stop. 🛑🫸
VERY much in tune with your rundown and of course always in awe of how you show up and lift the standard high for Our Democratic Republic. While I get “Why” folks stayed home; I also acknowledge that, “Not to vote is to vote!” There is NO excuse to allow forces of evil to have “reign” when a poor track record first time around was obvious to see 😤 At the same time, their self delusion that they are untouchable is somewhat entertaining, because real prison time is very much ahead for many who didn’t think it possible! A good housecleaning, some new, protective legislation so this never happens again soon, Generational acceptance of the implications of Artificial Intelligence and its practical implications; alongside the attempt to make worthless Crypto have, here to fore unseen value and its practical implications which have been made, ‘One Nation Under God’ needs to spend some time in the Legislative Confessional, and make amends to the Universe….. And she shall! America is better than what is currently on display.
We do toots, Americans are honest decent hard-working folks and they’re not gonna let these game players get away with this kind of nonsense. America is back! In the fullness of decent honest integrity! One nation under God…. For ALL! 🫵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊
I was there too. It was my second time seeing him The first time wan in front of the San Diego County Admin building in 2016. He was introduced by Nina Turner, who I believe was a state representative in Ohio at the time.
Wow that's epic, Vince! Next time, April 19th, I hope to coordinate meeting up with resisters better. I LOVE meeting fellow resisters that I meet online. I have at least 4-5 new bffs since 2016.
No honey child. I’m stuck down here never to travel again(at least if I can help it). It’s too hard on this old bod. But please, get out there and carry me in your heart. I’d be out if I could.
Thank you so much for the report and the gillion photos. I can’t see enough of us protesting.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
GO! Lorriane!
Thanks for the encouragement Gloria! It really matters🙏🏻🥰

I don't want to see ANY friendly fire.
Unite and RESIST!
EXACTLY Armand!

Khanna takes lots of money from his tech bro constituents in Silicon Valley.
Dems are a much larger tent than Repubs

"We must UNITE against an EXECRABLE foe." Quote of the week! Well said!
💪🏻💙
Kate Morgan Reade: From one who loves words and their origins (Wortherkunft) to another!
Malcolm J. McKinney: Yes, we are!
Oooh, another fun word for me: Wortherkunft! Thank you!
Kate Morgan Reade: Actually, simpler than "Etymology."
Wort is "Word".
"Herkunft" is related to "herkommen," meaning "to come here."
So, "Wortherkunft" means literally the origin (root) of a word.
Simple.
Marvelous!
What great pictures! And inspiration! Thank you!! ❤️
Thank you Erika!

Go Girl!
🥰
Thank you for your active DO SOMETHING! We need you! You will inspire others, and that's the whole point. Well done, Lorraine, and keep it up!
Always, Dorian!!💪🏻💙
Such fabulous pictures accompanied by some poignant prose.
That means so much coming from you, thanks Stanley. 🥰
Also, great photos.
Thank you for indulging me, it's fun to share but I'm never sure if I capture the real essence. But I try!

We can't let the GOP have all the corporations!
VERY questionable.
I vote for "civil discussion" not dissension.
I was so proud of myself Malcolm. Normally I get angry at Bernie bros but we seemed to respect each other.
Your observations are needed, especially regarding reigning Ro Khanna. Thanks. I hope they are listening.
Thanks Rosemary, I'll be watching the developments on this.
Thanks for the report and pics! The moon shots are gorgeous, and bring perspective. WE MUST UNITE against the shit stain and ass kissers, full stop. 🛑🫸
Yes Kate thank you for the encouragement. It really helps having you and all the voices here 🥰

Toots, you are my rock. We need to get through the midterms with fully enfranchised voters. As you always say, we got this!!

"The music from the many local artists, plus Niel Young, Joan Baez, and Maggie Simpson, was fun and uplifting."
Yes, yes, and yes!
👯♀️👯💙🎶
The Dems should use more local artists at local events. IMHO.
Fantastic day!
Woot! Were you there? Next time let's meet up!
