I checked out my senators’ stances here talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/tally-3, made one thank you call to @andykimnj.bsky.social and one pleading call to @booker.senate.gov. Quick to do, left VM for both.

All they say is “give it time,” as if it’s totally chill to have no coverage. It’s not chill. It’s very scary.

Waiting for my newborn baby’s health insurance application to work its way through NJ Family Care is awful. There’s nothing anyone can do to speed it up, and it may take 45 days, or more, or less to go through. If they need more info they will mail me. Not email, mail. 🐌

The Newark Museum has a great exhibit by Bony Ramirez - last day to see it is tomorrow - so much food for thought throughout, from the exhibition design to individual pieces.

If you made $10,000 every day and never spent a cent, from when the Declaration of Independence was signed, to the time you're reading this, you still wouldn't have a billion dollars. Elon Musk has that more than 190x over and he’s cutting people’s SNAP money (just ~$6.16/day)

🥹🥹 but the goal is not to be tired from the horrors. The goal is to be rested (even w a newborn!), strategic, coordinated, precise w action, and ready to do it again tomorrow. My scope/boundaries have to be on point & disciplined so there’s room for rest, daily life, and fun 🤩

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Economic blackout Feb 28 aka this Friday! No purchases at major retailers, no gas, no buying from billionaires. If you’ve gotta shop, do it at small local businesses. . Good reasons to join 1) build muscle for boycotting/solidarity/peer leadership 2) save ur money 3) find alt ways to meet your needs

2️⃣ things 1) just learned you can order stamps online from USPS (bc ofc you can!) 2) if you add “-ai” to your google searches it eliminates the AI result at the top 🕺

V skeptical of the nonprofit structure in general but that doesn’t change that lots of local nps do good work and are eternally precarious. Ty Amy for the spotlight. Also, support all the people doing good work whether np or not / don’t assume np status means the org is “good” 💫

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
