What we are experiencing isn't simply mismanagement of the money we pay in taxes: Donald Trump and Elon Mush are out-&-out stealing our hard-earned cash and lining their rich friends' pockets. No GOP reps or senators should get any rest. Make noise at their offices and hound them relentlessly.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Why do this? Because the more people who participate, the more effective it will be. Because giving people a taste of our collective power helps us build toward bigger actions in the future. Because activism is a muscle and organizing is a skill and this is a fine place to begin.

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

To oppose RFK: Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, ask for your Senators, and once patched through, say, “My name is NAME, I’m a constituent living at ADDRESS, and I urge Senator NAME to oppose RFK’s nomination for HHS Secretary. Thank you.”
