I am BEGGING national dems to coalesce around this messaging instead of falling in line with anti-trans & anti-immigrant hate because they THINK it’ll save their congressional seats. It’s a big tent y’all— but not for hate speech.

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "It's not the trans people who made you lose your job... who started a tariff war with Mexico or Canada or China... who are taking away the Department of Education... it's also not the immigrants. And it's definitely not the Black folk."

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Insane how 5 years ago I had a very difficult time saying no to people because I didn’t want to let them down or burden them But now I say no all the time! “No I don’t want to do that” “No I don’t have capacity” “No I can’t right now” “No, I’m tired” “No I don’t like that” I love saying no.

If you're calling your elected officials, I recommend discussing the way in which whatever you're calling about impacts you/your life. Personal experience will go farther with officials. This also goes for committee testimony.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
