Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Again, the Union that represents the people most directly impacted by a shutdown is saying that the CR is WORSE than a shutdown. Can you imagine how bad the CR is for the Union to say a shutdown is better? Listen to workers. Listen to the Union.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

When D.C. residents have to lobby Congress to stop it from doing things that could be harmful to the city, they’re told to contact their… oh, right. No senators or voting representatives.

Last year we raised $10k to install crosswalk art at Maury Elementary that brings joy and safer crossing to children every day. Now the Trump administration wants to wipe that all away in the name of "safety". We all know what this is about.

What is SOTMUS? It's a conference for users of @osmus.bsky.social which is like the Wikipedia of maps. Anyone can contribute. Anyone can use the map (with attribution) for free. It's a utopian project from the optimistic early internet that would be laughed out of the room if it were proposed today.

No. Now is not the time to play dead. The Democrats have already played dead for too many years. 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry. Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.
