Trump's attacks on Harvard are straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Massachusetts won’t be bullied. And we won't let them stand.

Look, a lot of orgs are going to use this as a list building exercise but the most effective way to contact your member of congress is in person, the second most effective way is by phone. Some sort of mass, list building petition is a distant fifth or sixth

I live in a blue state and have excellent reps, but I called anyway. Dems need to hear from constituents too

All, can you do me a huge favor this morning? Can you potentially buy me a ko-fi? I'll be honest: paying off my attorney has been a huge unexpected financial burden ($10K), and I just had an unexpected bill pop up. Thank you in advance, it's really appreciated. ko-fi.com/A080J8G

Donald Trump just fired my dear friend Dr. Carla Hayden—the Librarian of Congress—via email. This is disgraceful. The Library of Congress represents some of the best America has to offer. Equal access to learning for all.

A REAL ID is NOT required to vote in any state! Some states only issue REAL IDs, but each also accepts other forms of ID to vote. @VoteRiders is here to help. Use the link below to get in touch app.sosha.ai/s/GH0DSSXr

Okay, in non-political news: I'm trying something different and posted a non-fiction essay on the Substack. Hope you'll give it a read: celestepewter.substack.com/p/so-you-wan... I've been asked for a non-substack option; I'll post it on the website in a bit.

@pressley.house.gov I can't get through on either your DC office comment line or the one for your district office. Not sure if your staff is aware of this?

Honestly, consistent filibustering like this should be a minimum requirement for any Senate Dem looking for the Presidential nomination.

Hey @markey.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social, could you maybe not push to support a bill that if it becomes law, the GOP would use to force useful info for LGBTQ folks offline, by claiming it's "harmful"? One of your co-signers on this letter directly came out and said that's what the law is for.

I've seen the struggles and triumphs of trans people close-up, but I hope I'd support them 100% even if I hadn't, as a simple matter of justice. I'll do my utmost to support them now and in the future.

This is devastating and cis people should watch this. And remember that, no matter the excuses cis lawmakers cite, this is the intention of anti-trans laws. And this is what Dem politicians are now leaning into. We have to stop this at all costs. Extreme TW for suicide, especially for trans folks.

trans women don’t owe you any kind of performative femininity the only reason we should do voice therapy, or take HRT or get GCS, or wear dresses and heels or whatever is if WE want to transition is about us, not you 💅

Periodic reminder: Our government is dependent on Musk and his companies in an extremely concerning way, and we need to continue demanding for electeds to cut the damn cord. It's not going to happen overnight, but it has to happen. Call your electeds. wapo.st/3B5Wf7u

Don't forget to check your voter registration status at iwillvote.com to make sure you're still on the active list. If you aren't, the same site will walk you through re-registering. Maybe not a bad idea to check now and again before election day.
