We are here we need to form a new way of creating community of support for those feeling isolated There has to be a way to confound the Trump cabal intent on isolating dissent

Republicans just don’t care about anything except power and money. Full stop.

Fact

Using the words of Senator Patty Murray, I wrote a letter to the editor of my local newspaper which they published. I'm afraid that some people have no clue what's going on. This is my way of getting the word out, & I hope other resisters consider writing letters to their paper.

Inspiring IMO It takes a lot of courage to write a letter to the editor

Excellent!

100%% I think this is one of the ways we can reach the uninformed. I wrote a letter about the Laken Riley act and my paper did not publish. I was very disappointed as it was a great letter, lol.

I’m sure it was. Keep trying.

Gutting DEIA programs for companies that get Federal funds isn’t about ‘merit’—it’s about silencing us and keeping barriers in place. We’re not asking for favors; we’re demanding equality.

Forcing employers and government agencies to remove "Accessibility" is mandated cruelty

One quarter of adults live with a disability & are twice as likely to be unemployed. Disabled Americans are NOT taking your jobs!

Agree

And even if they were “taking jobs” they aren’t “your” jobs anymore than they are mine or anyone’s. This is insane

First, they will drag us back to the 1950s.
Then the 1930s.
Then the 1890s.
Then the 1830s.

Then the 1730s.
