Trump has refused to cooperate with the impeachment investigation (definitely the behavior of innocence) and has encouraged others to obstruct as well. Today, seems like a good day to contact your representatives and ask them to protect the constitution from the Executive Branch, because we don’t do “kings” in this country. Anyone who ignores Congress or subpoenas deserves fines, loss of income, or jail time. https://crooked.com/articles/trump-obstruction-impeachment/

Trump is Coming to Town
This week is going to be crazy.
Trump is bringing his hate campaign to the Target Center on October 10th. (People are already starting to line up!!) It is important to have a HUGE presence in the area to tell him that Minnesota does NOT support his terrible agenda. If you are free, why not consider joining one of the many groups making a trip to the area to (peacefully) protest his rally. Many groups are bringing whistles in support of the whistle blowers who put their lives in jeopardy to do the right thing. Go in groups, be respectful, and show the rest of the United States that hate has no place here. Find out more here: https://cd2action.com/…/dump-trump-trump-not-welcome-in-m…/…
If you go downtown, be sure to keep yourself safe. The armed conspiracy group, Oath Keepers, is headed there too to protect Republicans from the “violent” left. Oh boy. http://www.citypages.com/…/armed-conspiracy-group…/562562061
Karen Pence and Lara Trump will be speaking at the Union Depot (https://www.uniondepot.org/) tonight (Wednesday) at 6 pm. The topic will be “Women for Trump”.
VP Mike Pence will be at Safety Signs in Lakeville (https://www.safetysigns-mn.com/) at 4 pm on Thursday.
First Avenue is located downtown, close to the Target Center. FA has announced that it will remain open during Trump’s hate campaign and will donate all proceeds to Planned Parenthood. Nice work. https://www.twincities.com/…/with-trump-rally-across-the-s…/
Make Donations to MN DFL
Make Donations to MN DFL
Actor Julia Lewis-Dreyfus has done Minnesota a favor by encouraging Americans from across the state to donate to Minnesota’s DFL. I have seen other celebrities follow suit. Why not retweet and donate as well if you are able. https://twitter.com/officialjld/status/1181245210279333890…

From my friend S. I. Thank you for the excellent information!
Several momentous Supreme Court cases coming up this term, as we learn just how f*cked we are moving forward with the Gorsuch/Kavanaugh court.
1. Now: “These three cases will determine whether you can be fired for being LGBTQ+, and will stand as a massive test for our civil rights.” https://www.them.us/story/lgbt-supreme-court-cases
https://www.aclu.org/…/what-you-need-know-about-todays-lgbt…
2. Then, the Supreme Court will hear its first abortion case since the illegitimate appointment of Brett Kavanaugh. Wondering what this means for abortion rights?

3. On the upcoming DACA case, United We Dream made history last week when they submitted an amicus brief in video form (it's the first time an amicus brief has ever been submitted as a video). Here it is: https://twitter.com/UNITEDWEDRE…/status/1179790552256188416…
