I’m going to be live at 1 am and sober which is a thing I haven’t done since my kids were smalls. :)

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

My office is now participating in the Library of Congress’ Surplus Books Program! This program provides FREE donated books to schools, local libraries, nonprofits, and other eligible organizations. Visit salinas.house.gov/books to apply and learn more. Happy reading! 📚

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze. We are witnessing an attack on America's most vulnerable people.

@davidhogg.bsky.social Can the DNC treat our constitutional crisis like a campaign? We need moms demand action ladies, the Dem Socialists, BLM—everyone together at the dept of treasury demanding EM’s arrest. We can get on a bus and head to an ICE raid next. We have to combine like Voltron.

Why isn’t Elon Musk arrested for openly accessing classified information belonging to USAID along with all the information belonging to the treasury?

Heads up.

Everyone in opposition to the Executive branch dictating all aspects of life in the US needs to figure out how to lay back and pull all at once. General strike? Idk.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

This.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Israel's ban on UNRWA in Gaza, occupied East Jerusalem, and the occupied West Bank is set to begin today amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage:

“Senator, are you supportive of these onesies?” Is the Bernie quote that will get me through the day. RFKJ is so bad but cheers to the senators folding the funding freeze into questioning.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

My office is committed to helping Oregonians understand how they may be impacted by President Trump's federal funding freeze. If you are a resident of #OR06 who is or anticipates being affected, please fill out the form below. ⬇️

This is like tug of war in squid game: 1) everyone dig in your heels and lean back with all your might. 2) when they show weakness, like today with gross over reach, we all pull in unison. They defunded vital programs in 50 states today. This is a chance!

Maybe lol nothing matters of maybe just maybe headlines like this in every state are politically damaging for Trump and the GOP. www.12news.com/article/mone...

We’ve got to stop his momentum.

@aoc.bsky.social congress should walk out. Go on strike for the American people. DJT blocked services for the poorest Americans. Call a press conference and stage a sit in.

Democrats need to walk out of the Capitol today, call a press conference and lay out the first week of the new regime in 2 columns: $ DJT has made and the $ he has denied people esp. in red states. They need to strike for us.

The biggest beneficiaries of DEI policies are white women. There are a lot of women who earn the largest part of the household income. We need to talk more about that.
