Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

The alt text for the second picture includes a script you can copy and paste into an email or contact form if needed. Please reach out to your Senators this morning (Thursday, 2/27) if possible as it's believed this bill may come up for vote in the Senate today.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

This is a phenomenal thread. I worked at the edges of DC policy for years and watched the ACA fight unfold. We must stop this bill. Thousands of lives are in the balance. And if you're in Minnesota, like me, keep up the pressure on Klobuchar. She's been siding with Trump & Musk way too often.

Reach out to your Congressional representatives and ask them not to sell out the American people and the thousands of federal civil servants in an attempt to normalize the illegal actions of Musk under Trump's sham DOGE. This is not business as usual and we should not pretend it is.

I want to see every scientific society going into emergency mode. This is a good example of how an organization can flex its specific power in a time of great need. What else is possible?

Okay, y'all... anyone know of a Girl Scout selling the raspberry ones this year? I love this list (www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans...) of trans Scouts selling cookies and I've clicked through on a lot of them, but can't find the raspberry ones.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...
