Evo Terra - RhRR.us

Every Wednesday, I stand on the corner on 7th Ave & Glenrosa with a dozen or so others holding signs of #protest against the #Republican regime.

We’ve been at it for 20 weeks. We’ll keep going. A near-constant presence is what we need. And is what we’re doing.

Today, U.S. #Senator #RubenGallego was being driven to a town hall in #Phoenix, saw us, and had his driver pull over so he could chat with some of the #RhRR regulars.

You should join us: rhrr.us

I happened to take a snap of Library of Congress's Annotated Constitution in January (for some other reason).

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

Demand your #Senator reject #Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” before it guts #Medicaid, destroys #SNAP, and hands the wealthy a tax giveaway we all can’t afford. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Your Senators: Oppose Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but. This sweeping MAGA legislation would gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, strip funding from Planned Parenthood, and hand billions in tax breaks to billionaires — all while ballooning the national debt by nearly $4 trillion. It passed the House by a single vote. Now it’s headed to the Senate and we have the opportunity to stop it cold. If we flood the Senate with opposition now, we can push enough Senators to vote NO on this dangerous bill.

So proud to call Alex Padilla my #Senator: "This son of Mexican immigrants grew up in working class Pacoima U went to MIT before returning home to help found a political machine that gave a voice to Latinos in the San Fernando Valley that they never had. He was the 1st Latino president of the L.A. City Council, served in both chambers of the state Legislature & also as CA's sec. of state before becoming CA's 1st Latino U.S. senator."

@SrRochardBunson

yes
and consider this
if #Trump #fascist #goons
feel free to assault an #American #Senator
what will they do to the citizens?
do Americans feel safe? in a country of law and right?
America is a full Fascist State.
All of this was already predicted to happen if Trump did came back to power
and do NOT think you can "vote" these fascists out of government
Now that they are in power they will NOT leave.
It will go way worse than this
this is just the beginning.

"You wrote me specifically about the Trump administration’s unprecedented attack on veterans. In February 2025, President Trump abruptly and indiscriminately terminated over 1,000 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees. Many of those fired from the VA were veterans themselves. From these firings to the firing of employees at the Veterans Crisis Line to threatening access to veterans’ disability benefits,..."
