So, letโ€™s GET LOUD, folks! ๐Ÿ‘‡ Whoโ€™s with me?! ๐Ÿคšโœจ

Plenty of ways to fight back.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Call your senators and demand a NO vote and that they FILIBUSTER this bill!

๐Ÿ›‘ Saturday is the online registration deadline for the May 3rd election. If youโ€™re not registered, nowโ€™s the time. May 3 is another chance to fight back. Check your status now: voterportal.sos.la.gov/VoterRegistration #lalege #lagov #lademos

The current budget bill would require that books in libraries referencing sexual orientation or gender identity be made inaccessible to minors. We condemn this state-sponsored censorship and support students' freedom to read, think, and learn. thebuckeyeflame.com/2025/04/10/o...

This week, we've been highlighting devastating cuts to public health. Furious? Us too. But weโ€™re not powerless. ๐Ÿ“ข Take action: 5calls.org has the numbers to call & scripts to help you demand better. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ 5calls.org/issue/hhs-he... Your voice mattersโ€”use it! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š

This guy has a thread of actionable items attached under his original post

It's fascinating how rent free I live in these loser's minds.

The House bill, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by a vote of 220 to 208. It would require states to obtain in-person proof of citizenshipโ€”such as a passport or birth certificateโ€”from individuals seeking to register to vote.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

This rep uses his wife for clout, but also voted for the SAVE act

This rep voted to censure Al green and also to make it harder for married women to vote

This! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

COLUMBUS -- join us tonight for signature collection! โฌ‡๏ธ

Just like that weโ€™re not talking about signalgate.

"De-extinction" is to the biodiversity crisis as geoengineering/carbon capture are to climate change. The false promise of magical techno fixes undermines the actions needed to actually address these problems - and will be exploited by bad actors to do just that.

One dipstick can start or end a war.

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

HB 160 is another "Issue 2" fix that would subvert the will of Ohio voters. ๐ŸŒฟ We urge lawmakers to protect Ohioโ€™s existing cannabis laws and prioritize the Social Equity and Jobs Program. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/03/m...

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

ICE agent impersonations spike in wake of immigration crackdown

An innocent man was sent to an El Salvadorian prison and the Supreme Court just decided not to bring him back. The rot in this country, in our politics & courts is so much deeper than one man. Do not let their lack of humanity corrode your own. The real question is what are we willing to sacrifice?

Especially in Ohio. Call your reps, because they will be deciding whether or not to defund libraries this week!

I wrote this post about how to deal with misinformation on dog training, but it applies more broadly. The key takeaway is not to repeat misinformation--even to discredit it--because it just makes it seem true. From the archives. www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2019/04/bein...

Most birds have a fight or flight response. He forgot weโ€™re flightless birds.

This is not a drill- and the 19th amendment is next.

No. No to harmful tariffs. No to cutting Medicare and SNAP. No to ignoring due process. No. No. No.

NEWS: Chief Justice John Roberts has issued an administrative stay pausing the court order requiring Kilmer Abrego Garcia, a man wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison camp, to be returned by midnight tonight.

The SAVE ACT will let states purge you from the voting rolls so you can't vote. It'll require everyone to go in person to show your birth certificate or passport. Women who changed their surname to their husband's will need to bring a passport. Driver's licenses won't do. #HandsOffHerVote

Your regular reminder that you probably have a small, deserving local news outlet that could use your subscription/donations if you're able. If nothing else, follow 'em on Bluesky and share their stories.
