Back a few years ago, I managed a coalition of some 40 artists groups in a grass roots effort to change copyright law. A few years later, I was involved with changing CA sales tax law for artists. In both cases we used a combination of letters, faxes, & litigation. Flood reps’ offices with paper.

Since the Washington Post didn't want you to see the anti-Musk ad with your newspaper, please check out this website and share it around www.commoncause.org/work/fire-el...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It’s Mardi Gras season. I suggest people might want to avoid disease-brewing New Orleans, Louisiana for the foreseeable future. This is the state of the world now. Children will die, adults will be rendered sterile, and shingles will make things even worse. May these idiots all get shingles.

I just heard a cacophony of sound outside that reminded me of the air raid/nuclear attack sirens we would hear regularly in school during the cold war. I wonder why I might be tuned in to that?

Good. 🍊🐖 is not a doctor. He’s a disgusting, stupid slug that got his position because too many other people hate women.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.
