Hey folks--

I've been asked to pin this link here, so here you go.

May we one day have a real president again.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

If you say you love freedom but you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom. It’s privilege.

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Thank you for your service!

Thanks so much! Today was epic! And I left more hopeful than when I arrived.

Ok, for those of you who asked me for a template of the "MISSING REPRESENTATIVE" flyer, here you go:

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.

Thank you for your service.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

The #ElectoralCollege is #DEI for #RedStates

That is exactly true.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

No opinion yet. For now I am still on Facebook. Also on Instagram but never post, and love LinkedIn.

@sarahgavian.bsky.social Hello my friend, would love to catch up.
