Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that if it isn't "illegal" for MAGA to boycott Bud Light, Target, Starbucks and more because of the 1st Amendment, it sure as hell ain't illegal for us to boycott Elon's shitty Tesla. FUCK ELON. BOYCOTT TESLA!

2 protests split energy—1 massive rally for women’s rights the week of March 8 would be stronger. More people, more media, more pressure. After what happened to Teresa #Borrenpohl in #Idaho, focus is crucial. @50501movement.bsky.social, why not go all in for women? www.facebook.com/reel/1152150...

Kudos to the #Indiana @50501movement.bsky.social and the #Indianapolis organizers. @sadboinumb.bsky.social you did an awesome job mobilizing hundreds once again. #protests

Hundreds of Hoosiers showed up at the #Indiana statehouse in #Indianapolis today. Every sign raised. Every chant shouted. Every person standing in solidarity—it all matters. The more we show up, the harder it is for them to turn away. To those in office: We see you. We demand action. #protests

Just a Sunday night at home, preparing to go down to the Indiana statehouse tomorrow at noon to stand up for democracy. Will I see you there? Get all the details about the 2/17 protest in Indiana here: www.facebook.com/events/63415...

A total of SIX government attorneys resigned today, rather than obey Trump’s order to dismiss the case against NYC Mayor Adams! WOW!!!

Monday 2/17 is going to be the PERFECT day to protest for all of my perimenopausal friends! #Indianapolis is calling for clear skies and a cool 13 degrees. Let the hot flashes commence!

Just a little pre Valentine's Day note to the @aclu.org and @acluindiana.bsky.social for working so hard to fight fascism, preserve democracy, and protect civil rights. We appreciate you! 💓

Healthcare experts: Which organizations provide the most reliable information on current healthcare issues and warnings—excluding any affiliated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Thanks in advance to any #healthcare EXPERTS (org leaders, healthcare #journalists, docs leading orgs) who can provide a list.

Those who are #Christian in here, please take this information to your pastors and priests. Ask them to schedule meetings with their Senators and Representatives and tell them that taking food and healthcare away from the people who need it most is NOT Christian. #Christianity #food #healthcare
