I was at my doctor’s office today and asked if I should consider an MMR vaccine or titer because I am an old. They were perfectly happy to give me an MMR. If you, too, are an old, you might consider the same. With measles in (at least) 10 states, I figure it’s only a matter of time.

👏 THIS is the energy we want to see during next week's congressional recess! If your representative or senator is avoiding accountability by refusing to have a town hall, host one yourself and put them on blast. We've put together a detailed toolkit to help make it happen: indivisible.org/musk...

If you are a constituent of a Democratic or Independent Member of Congress, call them and urge them not to attend the State of the Union address. Congress should not pretend things are normal.

I need news pieces I can share with people who don’t follow the news. Too often, less-informed people feel like they’ve walked into the middle of the conversation, which turns them further away.

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

Repost with your best apocalypse if you’d like. I can knit socks. You’ll have to wait a few weeks for a sock, though, plus this skill is predicated on my ability to loot abandoned yarn stores.

I just did this- and it felt amazing. The customer service rep was BEYOND grateful to hear some positive feedback. She told me it filled her heart and it honestly filled mine as well. Spreading positivity is the best, y’all! (FYI, press 3 then press 0.) Thanks @pronounced-ing.bsky.social

Even if you expect your senators to agree with you, it’s worth calling because then they can use numbers to persuade their colleagues that the electorate is not cool throwing any group under the bus.

I made this call (to both Senator Amy Klobuchar and Senator Tina Smith). They've both campaigned on LGBTQ+ rights in the past but I want to make it really really clear that I want them to vote against this, block this, stand up against this, and rally other Democrats to oppose this.
