If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

Very interesting that there was a big DC police presence in my neighborhood tonight, due — according to the folks on the street — to the fact that there were protesters outside a DOGE party. When I asked if there had been threats, I got a “there’s always a concern.”

Roughly 1 in 4 20yos today will become disabled before retirement. Old age comes for all of us. Regardless of what the fed govt thinks. I for one am excited to see the work @melissadgentry.bsky.social and @sydneyg.bsky.social share with the world. Their work is important, and the academy sees that.

Me: If you're a woman and you have a job, you have "DEI" to thank. "DEI" ensures people don't discriminate against you in the hiring process. Someone: No, I have a job because of all the women who came before me and fought for my rights! I... I don't know how to make it any clearer for folks.
