In acting strategically to beat Trump and Putin:

Today’s small act of resistance- picked up the order to stock up on tequila. Just in case. 😒

“Punish” 🤬

Today’s small act of resistance- ordering Ukraine 🇺🇦 made early holiday gifts 🎁

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

Today’s small act of resistance- advocating to keep our Company’s language assistance procedures intact so we continue to ethically house and serve low income residents whose primary language is not English. Just because we may not “have to” any more does not make it less right that we should.

Today’s small act of resistance- helping create a group for local friends to share ideas, information, & inspiration for changing our buying habits. We committed to support small local businesses & companies who are politically neutral, if not actively fighting the Trump administration’s agenda. 🤑

This is not normal.

Today’s heartbreaking but important small act of resistance: sitting down with my kids to apologize & make sure they know we are fighting back. They get a mass shooting, COVID, & now this administration. I don’t know what a generation’s “fair share” of trouble is, but they gotten way more. Cheers 🥂

Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats - from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me - pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal. Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources. 1/ A short lesson how these lies spread in MAGA world.

Today’s small act of resistance- encouraging friends to embrace the people who can say they voted for Trump, but acknowledge that things have gone too far, & this is not what they had in mind. While “I told you so” feels good, we’ll be stronger bringing them into the fold than alienating them.

Today’s tiny act of resistance- yesterday’s boycott was both economic and social media. 🥂

Today’s small act of resistance: I canceled my Kindle Unlimited subscription. That one is gonna hurt a little, but we have a fantastic public library system, which deserves my support, while Amazon sure doesn’t. Also, the height of my physical TBR stack is becoming alarming. 😂🤷‍♀️

This is really bad-affordable housing providers are required to report emergency transfers due to domestic violence (not just to demonstrate compliance but because we frequently have to jump someone the waiting list & need to document why) and there are STRICT privacy rules to save lives.

Today’s small act of resistance: signing up to serve as a volunteer notary in the petition process for Virginia’s gubernatorial election in November 2025. abigailspanberger.com#about

Today’s small act of resistance… bought the Best. Stamps. Ever. Letter #1 with these goes out tomorrow to express utter disappointment in Congresswoman Kiggans for her budget vote.

Today’s small act of resistance: requesting a Rebel Alliance garden flag from a local maker, and inspiring 4 neighbors who have put in their orders, too.

Today’s small act of resistance: traveling FOR JOY

Today’s small act of resistance

Today’s tiny act of resistance- signing the petition to get a democratic candidate on our gubernatorial ballot.

Math. Matters.

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

I want to be a fly on the wall to watch what happens if Musk/Trump is foolish enough to tell the Mint Police and US Army they have “lost” the gold they “say” they have been safeguarding since the 1930s. FAAFO.

Today’s tiny act of resistance: setting up a small monthly donation to the AP. I believe the job of the press is to report the news, not support the politicians. We need reliable sources more than ever. apnews.com/article/trum...

Well did we mean it or not???

Today’s tiny act of resistance: ordering sets of stickers from Alt National Park Service. I will mail them to friends who are federal employees. Sending y’all love and support… and maybe some happy mail. 💕 www.ourparks.org

I’m deeply disturbed by the widespread reports of layoffs across the federal government and I am fighting back. If you’re an impacted federal worker in Virginia, I want to hear from you. Please take a moment to share what’s going on here: www.warner.senate.gov/public/index...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The illegal Musk-Trump shutdown of USAID will cause human suffering and weaken our national security—which is exactly what China, Iran, and Russia want. I’m fighting tooth and nail to protect USAID workers who combat the spread of famine, disease, and global instability. apnews.com/article/trum...
