Wow! Thank you!

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

It’s such an honor to serve in the Senate alongside my Sister Senator.

We are fighting for you. For hardworking families like the ones we came from.

8 evening habits of people who live a happier life than 95% of people Ever wonder why some people just seem happier than everyone else? They’re not necessarily richer, more successful, or living a perfect life—but they radiate a kind of peace and joy that’s hard to igno...

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Submitted for your approval: one horrible shapeshifting monster (and her girlfriend). If you enjoyed my little book, I'd be honored if you would consider it.

Why is Neal still on X?

I would be more interested in suggestions for what to do.

BREAKING NEWS:

We defeated fmr Ambassador #RickGrenell's defamation lawsuit against @oliviatroye.bsky.social.

Fed district judge gave #Trump's Special Envoy 14 days to file amended complaint. Given how well Grenell is apparently doing in career, can't fathom how he complains otherwise.

Powerful moment at the public hearing for the anti-trans legislation being fast tracked through Iowa. Faith leaders gathered above the rotunda to pray and just started singing until people listened. I believe they are singing "we are trans and queer together, we are singing singing for our lives. "

Good to see this volume coming together - the result of a hugely enjoyable conference involving @profelainechalus.bsky.social, @nationaltrust.bsky.social and @hillaryburlock.bsky.social - and a lot of work since by Hillary Burlock and Tatjana LeBoff...

Polar Sheets, made by Messrs P Lloyd Rees of Manchester, and an advert designed by Mrs G Barraclough, 1923. It shows a cheery bear on a rocky landscape against a green sky with the lettering "PoLaR Sheets cool in the sultriest heat." talking that cotton sheets are cooling.

Apparently its #InternationalPolarBearDay so - any excuse to this great c1923 advert for Polar Sheets made by Messrs P Lloyd Rees of Manchester, designed by Mrs G. Barraclough. #PolarBearDay

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

The purpose of temporary emergency relief was to restore the status quo as it existed before Defendants’ blanket suspension of congressionally appropriated funds, given Plaintiffs’ strong showing of irreparable harm and that Defendants’ blanket suspension of funds was likely arbitrary and capricious. A stay pending appeal would run directly contrary to that purpose and, indeed, would have the opposite effect of rendering the Court’s TRO--unchallenged in the appeal or stay motion—a nullity. The Court accordingly denies Defendants’ motion for a stay pending appeal.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out
