The Neo-Nazi Hunter Next Door What if anti-fascism were the height of patriotism. That's the philosophy of a new group tracking down far-right American extremists

Boom.

J.D. Vance Endorsed a National Abortion Ban in the Grossest Way Possible Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance said a national abortion ban was necessary to keep George Soros from flying “Black women” to California for abortions.

Penzey’s. Worth supporting.

Republicans came to Milwaukee for your rights. That’s wrong. $50 Gift Cards just $35! Please help us speak out.

They came to our hometown this week to come to an agreement on what the future of America should be. It seems their plan pretty much boils down to simply hurting everyone not enough like them. And oil profits. Don’t forget oil profits.

Through the end of the day Sunday, July 21, $50 Penzeys Gift Cards for just $35, mainly out of the hope that you will support us and the messages we share. These are forever gift cards with no fees or expiration dates.

Of all the offers we do, this is the one that gets today’s Republicans most upset. In the long run this really is your chance to get a better deal on your next spice purchase or to be able to gift someone in your life an even bigger assortment of tasty spices and seasonings.

But short run, in this moment you really are just giving us money because we are being honest about the threat the Republican Party has become. They want to believe they will succeed in taking America into the past. With your support we get to reach millions with the message that that’s not the way time flows. This irritates them no end.

All of us working to get through the Republican Convention without the noticeable bump in enthusiasm they needed matters. With what the 11.5.24 Election means for the future of our democracy and our planet and the rights of everyone everywhere the importance of this election can’t be overstated.

They spent hundreds of millions on their convention and it brought them no closer to where they need to be. Support us and we will keep doing what we do to raise spirits, call out their cruelty, share tasty food, and turn out every vote 11.5.24.

For each gift card sold this weekend we will commit $10 to promoting the kind of posts you’ve seen all week from us. We are only getting started. You can order our $50 Gift Cards for $35 here: https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/special-offer-penzeys-gift-card/c-24/p-3129/pd-s

Wait, there’s more. If you buy three $50 gift cards we will throw in a free $18.95 Remember January 6 gift box.

And for them to win 11.5.24 they have to get enough Americans to give up on caring about other Americans. So through Sunday our regularly $24.95 Care gift boxes are just $10 each. https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/care-gift-box/c-24/p-3114/pd-gb

Plus we now have produced enough of our convention-themed Twilight Revolution Seasoning to offer you up to ten of these regularly $2.49 bags for $1 each with each $1 going to groups working to protect and restore Women’s Rights.

There are so many groups the Republicans are out to hurt right now, and there’s no denying women are at the intersection of all that hurt. And it’s women that, in every election for four years now, that have saved us from the cruelty that has overtaken the Republican party. We owe them. Let’s support them more.

We are splitting all the $1s for Twilight Revolution bags between: Whole Woman's Health Alliance, WMF Wisconsin, Abortion Access Front, A is For, and Planned Parenthood. We’ve worked with all these groups in the past. They are good people.

Penzeys Revolution is an awesome seasoning for cauliflower, chicken, hummus, burgers, tofu, and pretty much anything. Please buy ten and pass them around. And if you could share your Revolution favorites and tips in the comments it would be appreciated.

And finally yes, So Long Future Fake Electors : )

There are Republican voters who are decent people but simply out of touch with what the party has become. But those who have risen to the rank of delegate are anything but out of touch.

The delegates knew they were here to take women’s rights, deny Black history, be cruel to transgender kids, and free the fossil fuel industry from any regulation that would prevent them from ending our environment.

And they know January 6 was real, led by their leaders, and something they would gladly do again. We can’t give them that chance.

Support us and we will do our best to make you proud.

$50 Gift Cards just $35. https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/special-offer-penzeys-gift-card/c-24/p-3129/pd-s

Some of us desperately want this for everyone.

Text only. We all want the same things. Physical safety. Financial security. Love. Happiness. Some of us just want it for other people too...
