If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

If you review grants for the NEH, *do not resign*! They'll replace you with someone willing to follow the racist guidelines. The anti-DEI executive order is under injunction anyway, so you can just ignore it. Stay and approve what you would have approved regardless. Gum up the works. Fight back.

@indivisible.org held prelim meeting in a small conservative town in Illinois. 120 people showed up in 6F weather, incl my 80+ mom & her cronies. Those old ladies have decades of experience w/progressive political campaigns, raising money & raising hell for equitable communities. Put them to work!

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

The Senate is not "powerless" ... they can use this weird thing called THE LAW to put checks on the racist loon in the white house.

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

Elon Musk just opened a giant battery-making factory in China, investing $200 million and creating thousands of overseas jobs. Meanwhile, Trump has stopped investments in American battery manufacturing in NC, LA, SC and elsewhere. Make WHO Great Again? 🤔 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
