Hi! I’m running for Aliso Viejo City Council, District 2. This November, we can flip the majority to a Council that will take action to defend every resident. The resistance starts at home! www.steven4av.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mqnou3n6fc25I’m running for the people of Aliso Viejo and against MAGA, because those are really the same thing. Maybe that makes me a long shot but my neighbors are worth taking the shot nonetheless. Read the article and if you like what you see, help me get the word out and make this one count! https://www.thetruthoc.com/p/hes-a-long-shot-aliso-viejo-city15 Jul 2026 02:37 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqnou3n6fc25https://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mqkvddreas2iMy King says: “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for ME.” Fuck ICE13 Jul 2026 23:55 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqkvddreas2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mpwdp36xyc25I just got out of Church on this Sunday following Independence Day. I was reminded of the words of Ralph Rose, the United States flag bearer at the 1908 London Olympics: “This flag dips to no earthly king.” As Americans, our flag calls us to serve a greater cause, not a man who would be king.05 Jul 2026 19:46 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpwdp36xyc25https://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mpforw7lcc2aPretty sure they mean first me then refugees, when the real traitor is Matt and the real invader is Elon. #bringbacktheguillotine #nomoreoligarchs [contains quote post or other embedded content]29 Jun 2026 04:49 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpforw7lcc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mpesii5un22uThe Oligarchy seeks to divide us because they are terrified that we are strong when we stand together. We are beset by entrenched interests everywhere we look and our national institutions no longer protect us from the most egregious excesses. All we have left is each other.28 Jun 2026 20:23 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpesii5un22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3mp67dv5bms2eThe Nazis did this with groups such as the White Rose Society, except the sentence was the Guillotine. Mark my words, the Fascists are just getting started. I’m putting my neck on the line (perhaps literally) by running for office while openly saying this. I only ask that YOU help spread the word.

I’m running to make Aliso Viejo a model of courageous resistance, but I need your help to spread the word! I will “not go gentle into that good night” (- Dylan Thomas). Will you?

They are already an atrocity, but detention centers are not being prepared to hold only immigrants… they are meant for you and me too.

We need local leaders with the courage to proactively impede federal officers when said officers violate the Constitutional Rights of our people. If you want to see Aliso Viejo lead the charge, help me flip the majority by sharing my campaign as much as you can. 🙂😈 [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Jun 2026 23:34 +0000at://did:plc:uxlib3cxyitho2gzznvlwioy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mojhztpamc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/originalteemo.bsky.social/post/3moehimdnq224This was always the plan. Ever since taking power the Trump Regime has never behaved like they had an election to win, because they never intended to have another free and fair election. If our democracy is to endure, the battle will take place in our cities, our neighborhoods and our streets.

We need local leaders with the courage to make bold choices to challenge ICE and the Trump Administration. With your help, one little city can start by saying we will not comply. Let’s get the word out, are you with me?

We must restore accountability for those in public office at all levels. I’m starting at home by running for City Council, can you do your part by sharing this post?

It is doing exactly what it was intended to do: normalizing the absence of due process, arbitrary law enforcement brutality and violent repression of dissent in an ongoing assault on American Democracy.
