West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Just got an email from the Office for Civil Rights in response to DOGE accessing personal information. Here's their response. TLDR: DOGE isn't a business entity, so HIPAA rules don't apply to it.

“So that’s the plan. Find a leader. Bring people together in person, far away from the capital’s control. Build momentum. Organize your supporters. Harness the power of their mass. Build toward an explicit show of strength. Take back control of Congress.“

Maybe if the U.S. had dealt with the corruption of the first Trump presidency like this, we wouldn't be facing an autocratic regime now. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Jessica Aber’s death feels like a story meant to fade into the background —tragic headline that people are supposed to forget. But when career prosecutor who spent her life chasing Russian cybercriminals, CIA leaks, and war criminals turns up dead weeks after resigning, forgetting isn’t an option

While many people are boycotting Amazon, Meta, Tesla,....., don't forget to check your retirement portfolio (if you have one). I have a "Socially Responsible" IRA, and I had to reach out to divest those stocks.

Does that mean you shouldn't call? Certainly not. The staffer will take your name and pass on your message. Once you've done that, you can find a local protest - town halls with empty chairs, an upcoming march, or a protest at a Tesla showroom. The point is, you've got options!

It's almost time for Congressional recess. Have you called your representatives? I did and spoke with their staffers. Turns out, they don't have any intention of coming back to your state and hearing what you have to say about _______ (fill in the blank with almost anything important right now).

After that disgraceful display from Trump and Vance yesterday bullying Zelensky, undermining NATO, and supporting Putin, let's show Ukraine that Americans still defend their allies and support democracy. Donate and get updates here: u24.gov.ua #SlavaUkraini www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

My Republican Dad, who comes from a long line of straight-ticket Republicans, just shared his first Occupy Democrats post - and messaged me to ask who his representatives are. Things are starting to change.

Anyone in KC want to visit Hawleys office downtown tomorrow? There's an Indivisible group meeting up there.

2025. Finally got COVID. I've got to say the complete takeover of the federal government has got to be one of the strangest symptoms.

You don't need a prompt to call your senators/reps. Today, call and demand to know what they're doing to stop this illegal funding pause. You can mention a few programs you rely on or have in the past. If you're mad, call and complain. This is a failure of customer service at the highest level.
