US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Today would have been Congressman John Lewis' 85th birthday. John Lewis spent decades getting into good trouble and pushing us forward, dedicating his life to civil rights and justice, from the Freedom Rides to the halls of Congress. We continue his fight for equality and justice for all.

Trump vs Gov of Maine. Watch this

Even Mark Levin cannot handle the lies coming from the current U.S. President about Ukraine and Russia. Perhaps Congress will find their courage soon. . .they can stop this madness. www.mediaite.com/news/mark-le...

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

I have never been less proud of my government than I am at this moment 💔

Democracy requires courage.

If the current GOP budget goes through, 41 states will experience significant cuts to their Medicaid healthcare benefits. 1 in 5 Americans depends on Medicaid for healthcare access. I've spent most of my career working with this vulnerable population. My heart breaks 💔 www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

Yes, the judge actually called the DOJ out, and yes, the DOJ had no response. www.advocate.com/news/judge-s...

We the People are pissed! #50501movement #FiftyFiftyOne #BuildTheResistance #PoliticalRevolution #NoVoiceUnheard #NoKings #VoicesOfFlorida #VoicesUnheard @polrev.bsky.social

Medicaid is critical to ensuring health access for the most vulnerable populations across the U.S. $880 billion in cuts would be nearly the entirety of the Federal budget, crippling the access many states provide. I have no words for this . . . 💔 www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Preventing Veteran Suicide is a national directive across the VA. It worries me to think about how many of our Veterans this could impact 💔

This movie is so much fun. Seriously. Go see it. Maybe wear a mask cause flu season is hitting hard. But go see it!!

A lawyer’s resignation letter for the ages, and that penultimate paragraph is an absolute corker.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Heart Eyes is a dang fun slasher flick, and it doubles as a bit of a rom com, too. Pretty much a perfect Valentine's month murder date movie 😍🔪❤️🤣 We loved it.

But the judicial branch of government is one of the checks and balances to the executive branch - so like - that's not how that works. . . We still teach civics, right??? Right???

"There is no dictatorship here other than our leader dictating what can and cannot happen."

I squished the balls out of my stress ball. 😬 How's your day going? Also, do you have any good stress squeezy ball recommendations? 🤣 Apparently, I'm hard squeezing right now.

We still don't agree on Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, or other LIP's abilities to prescribe meds, and we are just gonna jump to laws about AI doing so? I'm sure that's fine. Surely no one will object to that. . . 🤦‍♀️🔥😡 www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Things I've yelled while watching The Pitt: The NURSE would do that!!! Social services consult!!! SOCIAL SERVICES CONSULT!!! That girl needs a humility check for real 🤦‍♀️ The. NURSE. Would. Do. That! I still enjoy the show - just wish they'd show some love to the rest of the healthcare team.

Do I read a new book, or do I re-read my favorite comfort read trilogy, the first set of the Hidden Legacy books by Ilona Andrews, for the 20th or so time? 🤔 Decisions decisions. . . Yes. It's been that kind of day.

My heart hurts on so many levels today.
