For our #democracy, another reminder that if one person (Trump) can just arbitrarily cut federal funding and not Congress, then we don’t have a democracy. We have a dictatorship.

For our #democracy this past weekend, I knocked on 215 doors in SE Portland, OR for East County Rising to urge voters to vote in school board elections on May 20th. I had great chats w/ people, saw an electric motorcycle, horses, beautiful spring flowers. What are you doing for democracy these days?

For our #democracy, I am very proud of my U.S. @repdexteror.bsky.social for traveling to El Salvador this week with a cohort of other Congressional Democratic Reps. to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Sadly, he is still in jail, but I applaud her for bringing attention to this issue.

Disappearing people. This is not the country I grew up in–and I’m not going to let it be the country I leave to my children. I will continue speaking up because it is clear this is a constitutional crisis and being silent is being complicit.

For our #democracy, my message that I have carried to 7 local protests in 2025 so far. To keep our freedoms and way of life, WE CANNOT OBEY IN ADVANCE! We must say it loud it enough so that everyone, especially the elites hear this message.

For #ClimateAction, good recent Associated Press article by Dorany Pineda about #climatecomedy efforts led out of @colorado.edu. I have not done climate comedy in years because I am so alarmed about our #democracy. I am happy to see folks creating more #climatechange awareness using comedy.
