1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In today's act of resistance: more phone calls to the usual suspects plus my daily spite call to my republican rep. I jazzed things up with an email, too. Egads! I followed that up with 2 servings of fruit and a big cup of tea because I need fuel for my fury

Over 16k word count on the WIP. Gotta admit, I've only added about 2k in the last week or so; it's been tough to find the spoons to do anything creative when the world is on fire, but I'm still trying. I'm not giving up.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Mad about constituents demanding you do something? Maybe you should LEAD like a House Minority Leader! We're suffering, and it'll get worse. Marshall every resource Dems have & FIGHT like you have a pair! Allow shutdown to happen & make sure 47 & Co. take the blame.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️ link: translifeline.org/donate/

I suddenly have, like 60 new followers, and most of them have no avatar and no posts. Bots, bad actors, pure newbies, or...?

This narrative by NBC (and others) is utter garbage. It's TRUMP who should have to defend himself for criticizing a wholly appropriate Christian sermon. Who knew Trump's MAGAts were such delicate flowers that couldn't handle one of the basic messages of their own faith without throwing a tantrum?
