If you’re the senate majority leader and you’re not sure what to do, here’s a song to help you remember: Thune Thune Bo Bhune Banana Fanna Expel Mike Lee

I wrote a quick-start guide for people to replicate this across the country. It was, in our experience, a very effective way to get real action in a short amount of time. People are willing to talk to scientists! And when you provide everything, they are happy to contact their reps too. Try it!

🚨 #ALTCITIZEN ACTION ALERT Jonathan Berry's confirmation hearing, along with several other horrible nominees, is June 18 at 10am in 430 Dirksen. He is a TERRIBLE pick to serve as solicitor of labor, DOL's top lawyer and enforcer of federal labor laws. www.help.senate.gov/hearings/nom...

You live in a time when you can see our Universe like this. The current U.S. administration wants to gut science and stand in the way of our next steps in understanding where we came from. Call your Senators and Representatives. Tell them to save U.S. scientific leadership. To save science.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

12 Dems, 1 Republican

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all Latiné people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Care about disability rights? DOE is trying to change the rules so new buildings are NOT REQUIRED TO BE ACCESSIBLE to people with disabilities. The last day for public comment is TOMORROW Monday June 16!! See how to submit a comment at this awesome site: dredf.org/action-alert...

🚨Did you know that #dengue is one of the top 10 threats to human health? Despite its alarming spread, there is still no treatment for dengue. This is why we are using #ASEANDengueDay today to highlight the need for more collaboration & research 🔬 to find a cure for this viral threat. #beatNTDs

HONESTY. INTEGRITY. DECENCY. #June14th-ObamaAppreciationDay

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

All you need to do is show up. Your presence will speak eloquently. Without words, it will declare with piercing clarity that you are among the sprawling assembly that refuses to consent to the dismantling of this nation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

She will not. They will promote her if they can. As such it is up to Democrats in the House to file articles of impeachment [I KNOW THEY WILL FAIL] - FILE THE ARTICLES and keep bringing them up ALL OF THE TIME. Tell folks that you will impeach her if you have the majority in the future.

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

For over 20 months, they have rushed to the scenes of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, clawing bodies from under rubble, saving lives, and preserving a degree of humanity in a war that has known no bounds. Read this profile of a team of Gaza's first responders: ⬇️

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

That was about insurrection. This is about rights protection.

Not only do YOU need to show up 6/14, you need to bring friends! The time for complacency, normalization, and head-in-the-sandedness is long past. Join us in the streets on Saturday for a (peaceful) march to say #NoKings. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

www.thenation.com/article/poli... This really needs to be spread around for everyone to read and understand. There are local elections every year that matter. Americans need to vote.

I just called Congressman Sam Graves‘s office to ask about highway funding and the young man told me I didn’t know understand which district I live in and then hung up on me. Here’s Sam’s Kansas City number if you have any questions about highway funding: 816.792.3976

I'm being told by eyewitnesses #ICE is waiting in hallways of #Houston immigration courts to arrest individuals when cases are *dismissed* due to a loophole. If you're an attorney (Spanish fluency preferred) and can volunteer time at the courthouse to help families please email [email protected]

While ICE agents can note in their database if someone they’ve investigated turns out to be a citizen, they are not required to do so. As a result, records are often wrong and left uncorrected even after agents have been told of a mistake. (Published March 2025)

Read Rita Baroud's first-person article about the sudden and unexpected chance to evacuate from Gaza after nearly 570 days of war: ⬇️

Homes Schools Hospitals Cultural monuments and places of worship Water systems, power plants & agricultural infrastructure These are civilian objects & must be respected and spared from hostilities. Parties to conflicts must take all feasible precautions to avoid harming them.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Unlawfully, ICE locked the gates and did not allow this son of immigrants in. It is my right to conduct oversight. I’ll be back, Adelanto ICE - owned & mismanaged by GEO TY @aclucalaction.bsky.social @chirla-org.bsky.social inlandcoalitionforimmigrationservices @chu.house.gov @cisneros.house.gov
