p2a.co/DdtlGIT Take a moment to sign this petition to save the NEH. They have started terminating previously awarded grants and are now putting dozens of staff on administrative leave.

Here’s how to stay in the fight: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials daily. 🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances. 🚫 Boycott evil corporations. 🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. 🌳 Build community power. #FiftyFiftyOne

Thank you, Obama! And more, please! We need former presidents and first ladies, former candidates, celebrities, and other big names to speak up, loudly. @barackobama.bsky.social

Protested against Musk, DOGE, and Tesla today with @teslatakedown.com They’re holding another one in at the Fife Tesla dealership on March 29. No oligarchy. No tech bro takeover. Not here. Not anywhere. Not ever.

Couldn’t agree more. Cause a scene. Hold your own press conference on the capitol steps. The country is being dismantled along with the world order. At the very least yell back. A. Lot.

Yes!! @wyden.senate.gov Nice move. Let’s get other legislators on board. I’ve been calling @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov and Rep. Marilyn Strickland to ask them to do the same. An empty side of the chamber is much more powerful than attending and not applauding.

This was a bullying session, not an “argument,” @apnews.com Headlines should tell the truth, not soften and normalize this behavior.

This is a beautiful explanation about the price of local foods by one of our bakers in Olympia — with a sweet (and generous) surprise at the end. Thank you, Meg, for making us delicious baked goods with love and for working to provide it for as many people as possible. ❤️ 🍞

I keep wondering if Trump voters are surprised? Angry? Not paying attention? TLDR: egg & energy prices ate still going up. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

This is the seal of the state of Virginia. According to Wikipedia, “The standing allegorical female figure of virtue is shown having vanquished tyranny, symbolized by a fallen king at her feet.”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

This is what I’ve been looking for from our Democratic leadership. An alternative team. I’m going to start pressuring my reps to push this idea. Will someone with a bigger following than I have share this out? https://www.rsn.org/001/shadow-cabinet-a-positive-form-of-opposition.html

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

Today is my birthday and I celebrated by making a terrarium at www.underhillplants.com and eating a beautiful meal at www.carrellorestaurant.com. (Carrello earned a #snailofapproval last year. ❤️) Beautiful notes from friends all day. Having a birthday fall on a Saturday is pretty great.

I can’t get through to Nick Brown’s office but I can imagine WA joining soon. Keep calling about this and other issues. Make them encounter a wall of protest and refusal.

Powerful reminder from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. In his first month of presidency, Trump has attempted multiple power grabs. He'll try to get away with as much as he can until the ppl stop him. Our job is to fight back. Democracy is a verb. It is something we must do, something we must fight for.

A great turnout today on the Washington State Capitol campus. Feeling grateful for solidarity. Thank you to the organizers and to everyone who spent the afternoon in the cold protesting this administration’s inhumane and dangerous actions.

Do you know about 1440? I just discovered them and have been following their daily news briefs for several weeks. I appreciate the broad, brief overview without commentary. Resources like these are going to help get me through this era. join1440.com?utm_campaign...
