Trump and his minions have made it clear they will try to steal the election November 3 using whatever means they can find, including intimidation and seizing ballots, to do so.
What if, when they showed up to intimidate voters or to steal the ballot boxes and voting machines, they were met by millions of citizens waiting to resist their efforts? What if we showed up outside the polling places in daylong non-violent demonstrations of our commitment to the constitution and to free and fair elections?
Past No Kings days shows that people will turn out.
I live in Santa Barbara County and am somewhat familiar with the Sable Oil Company issue. I lived here in 2015 when the oil spill occurred and it was horrific the damage it did to our beaches, marine life and birds. Since then Sable has been trying to get a new permit from our Board of Supervisors to start operations again. Those requests have been refused because they have provided no proof that they did repairs to the pipeline that were adequate enough to (hopefully) prevent another oil spill. They have continually ignored restraining orders to stop work on the pipeline from the BOS and from the California Coastal Commission. The last restraining order they received was lifted by the Federal Government which allows them to begin operations again. Obviously transparency is not their middle name and have made a bargain with the devil.
Patricia, if you are outraged by the provision to benefit ONE private oil company (Sable) that caused the oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in 2015 - go to Resistbot and use SIGN PQPNOW -
Thank you, Jess! Made the calls, signed up for DeFlock, and found a Visiblity Brigade (love their Mitch sign) event close by. The site linked below has actions for VB and many other organizations on the west coast
The Burning River Brigade is fantastic! Thanks for recognizing them, Jess. Once again I used your newsletteras a blueprint for taking action. I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to democracy.
Thanks, darling Jess. So glad you’re on vacation next week! 🏄🏽♀️ Woo hoo! Hope you and the fam have fun plans. Don’t work too hard in preparation this week. Take care and stay cool and hydrated. Hugs from the high desert of SoCal, where it’s 102. Gah! 😎💖

Here is the text of this petition written by Jason himself for the Sable Offshore land grab -
"Strip the Sable Offshore provision from the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act before the Senate votes on it. The amendment from Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas cleared the House by a single vote, 215 to 214, and it would hand the Secretary of Defense eminent domain power to take permanent easements along the Santa Ynez Pipeline System, including land owned by the State of California.
This is not a defense program. It is one private oil company using the federal government to seize state parkland on the Gaviota Coast so it can restart the pipeline that ruptured in 2015 and spilled more than 450,000 gallons of crude near Refugio State Beach. Sable now faces 21 criminal charges from Santa Barbara County prosecutors, five of them felonies, over its work on that same line.
I do not want a corporate favor dressed up as a national security necessity. If the Pentagon can condemn a state park for a drilling company, no public land in any state is safe from the next company with a lobbyist. Vote to remove this provision, and oppose any defense bill that still carries it."
I am amazed that you think anyone in the GOP congress even if they are not up for re election, has any principles. And while I usually agree with you, this time I just don't!!!! If they do not vote for approval it will be for some other reason, not principles, not because they believe in the rule of law or the importance of having competent persons in positions of power. There will be some other reason, maybe still trying to get trump's approval.
i do NOT like your site promoting the use of Chat Robot. Anyone can go to YOUR Senator’s websites to write your senators. I question using CHAT to do YOUR thinking and writing for You. That seems down right dangerous. Think for YOURSELF. Write for Your Own Self
Which one do you think is chat robot? I agree if you think it’s ChatGPT because that’s the worst of them. Claude is Anthropic and very good but I have no idea what chat robot is. Jess recommends Resistbot
Resistbot is not a ChatBot. A human writes the letter (which you can customize by reading the instructions Jessica included), ResistBot just makes it easy to send it to your reps.
Resistbot is an app which lets you see all the petitions that other humans have written and you can choose which ones to sign. It is not AI and will not write letters for you. You can check it out by visiting
I have been using it since it began in 2017 and it has been so helpful to be able to add my voice to that of others who are resisting as much as we can the corruption and cruelty of this regime. It is no coincidence that Resistbot began shortly after the subhuman in the White House was inaugurated the first time.

Just an idea. But I think it's a pretty good one.

I feel back on track today! Thanks for your inspiration yesterday and focus today. Makes it so I can contribute on my lunch hour to the resistance.
It's amazing. The MAGAs keep coming up with horrible legislation with wonderful sounding names. We need to keep fighting against them.
