Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

To my Republican colleagues: are you ok with this? Our dedicated workforce has been harassed, maligned and decimated by Trump-Musk. You have been silent. When will just two of you have the courage to stand with us and support the law and the public servants who work for America?

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...

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane and immoral. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121

17 states are suing to eliminate Section 504. This will completely eliminate accomodations for students with disabilities and 504 plans. Please contact your members of Congress, write letters to the editor, and speak with your friends and family about this attack against students with disabilities.

If these questions are designed to hire people with no grasp on reality, U.S. national security is at significant risk. Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?” Was the 2020 presidential election “stolen?” Who were the “real patriots” on January 6? Who won the 2020 election? Who is your “real boss?”

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
