@jmbussey.bsky.social is one of the most dedicated and hardworking immigration specialists around. Please give her a follow, and then give your elected officials a call in support of refugee and immigrant rights.

It’s been 13 years since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was pursued, shot, and killed by an armed vigilante while walking home from a Florida convenience store. Trayvon’s family have not received justice—in part, due to Florida’s Shoot First law. 🧵

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

The official White House account posted this.

Received a call from a friend in Germany yesterday and a text from one in Florida checking in on us. Helmut used a long German word that I think is equivalent to “dumpster fire” but with swearing. We should look into that. And it’s scary when even Floridians are worried for you. #FedSpouseLife

Packed house tonight for our monthly Columbia Democratic Club meeting, including a lot of new folks. #Resist #HoCoMD

So just checking. Electric vehicles are woke and bad except when you’re a US government agency buying them from the billionaire-in-chief?

📣 DO YOU SUPPORT TRANS YOUTH? Join us tomorrow Thursday 2/13 at 12pm for a rally to support the first nationwide challenge to Trump’s gender affirming care executive orders. See you there and tell your friends! 💙💗🤍

Fantastic turnout for Know Your Rights training here in Howard County, MD tonight. Standing room only of folks ready to stand as allies for our immigrant neighbors. #Resist #ImmigrantRights

On Feb. 3, the Trump administration heartlessly terminated the 2023 designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela. In an unprecedented move, the admin refused to offer a winddown period, ensuring the process will be anything but orderly. More here www.globalrefuge.org/wp-content/u...

50 State Protest Annapolis, Maryland

The crux of the matter: “The People in Your Neighborhood” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2025/02/i-do... Village Green/Town² blog - - Who is my neighbor?

SAY NO TO ALL OF THEM!

Speaking with someone today who was completely unaware of what is going on in Washington. This is a college-educated young mother who was horrified with the updates I provided. Don’t assume folks are following the news. Talk to your people and urge them to action!

This is our newly elected Congresswoman. While I haven’t always agreed with her, I am deeply grateful for how she is showing up these days. I had a chance to encourage her to “do something” at an event this weekend. So glad to see her right out in front at USAID today.

Webinar tomorrow: www.eventbrite.com/e/safeguardi... #HowardCounty #Maryland #LGBTQIA

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

Terrific turnout today for the @surj.bsky.social Day of Action in Howard County, Maryland. Thanks to Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper for leading the way in pledging to resist, and to all the pastors, elected officials, and neighbors who followed. #showingupforracialjustice

Waiting for Dem leadership to show up and I keep thinking back to 2017 when Cory Booker and John Lewis held a sit in on the steps of the US Capitol and captured the attention of the nation. I’ll tell ya what, John Lewis would not be sitting around wringing his hands right now. #WWJLD

Thank you, #Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown

Life is going to hell in a hand basket right now, but at least Adam Jones is coming back to the Orioles. #Birdland

If you work in the federal government (particularly civil rights at DOJ) or state or local agencies that get federal funding, and have info about new anti-DEI and anti-civil rights mandates, please reach out to me on signal at nhannahjones.67.

I talked my mom into buying me these Bean boots in the late 70s when I headed off to college in Wisconsin. She had a fit about the price, but I said, “Don’t worry, they will last forever.” Almost 50 years later, they are wearing a bit thin but still serving me well, just like I promised Mom.
