Joan not JoAnn

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

We are all significantly less safe than we were a month ago. Some of us just haven’t realized it yet. And some of us are acutely aware.

We’re it.

When it gets bad enough, I hope we’re ready.

When it’s time, we need to make the protests in South Korea look tiny in comparison, and we have to commit to being there for as long as it takes for our reps to get the message.

Maryland Rep Andy Harris isn’t holding a Town Hall so constituents took their messages to his Cambridge office today to urge him to stop the Musk Coup and do his job as a representative of the people not of the FELON. @indivisible.org #stopthecoup

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.

Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Hero.

Great group of women! Thank you for all you do!

At least four people were killed today during a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.

It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.

We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

Just reported and blocked them

We’re getting there!

Help us beat them.

Framed as a children’s primer, this MAD Magazine article addressed the culture and politics of gun ownership.

Are you mad about guns? MAD Magazine has been pretty *ticked off* about them for decades! Here's a thread of some highlights.

"The MAD Gun Owners And Other Small Bores Primer" nailed it way back in 1965. Written by Larry Siegel with art by George Woodbridge. (1/X)

Thank you for thinking of us when your country is going through so much. Please stay safe and keep up the good fight.

Look at that profile pic of you, Michael! You look so happy and clear in your conscience. It’s great to see!

I would love it if Bluesky added to its wonderful momentum by including the edit button, longer videos, its own version of Spaces, an easier way to report/block and of course a bookmark post option. Let’s make Musk’s dead bird app a thing of the past.

and a high rate of rejected mail-in ballots in key states. An audit could restore public trust and ensure that the election outcome is accurate. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Thank you. 💙

This Is Why I Blocked You A list for my MAGA trolls.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.

My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.

Here are my rules why I block them:

I think North Carolina’s deadline to request a recount is Friday. If we go past that date, aren’t we past the point of no return?

Happy birthday to one of the GREATEST and most consequential Presidents of my lifetime, who deserves a TON more credit than he gets.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!! 🎉

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.
