a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

anther petty rant but can we talk about how gross it is that Elon uses a toddler as an accessory

sorry to be one of those people but drinking a glass of milk with dinner is disgusting.

chef’s kiss 😘

A very simple script. Feel free to adjust for your needs.

"I JUST READ THAT MUSK AND TRUMP ARE CUTTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CANCER AND ALZHEIMER RESEARCH MONEY. I DIDN'T VOTE FOR CANCER. ARE YOU SUPPORTING THIS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP THEM?"

reps.fyi

Never give up. Here's a little thing you can do RIGHT NOW. Leave a message. You'll feel better and it might actually make a big difference.

what spineless worms they are

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

my spouse and i have a nightly ritual now of writing letters we want to send/scripting scripts we want to say on calls to our reps. Literally we write 5-6 per night because that’s the pace of alarming things that keep happening 😫

If you prefer not to use an app (eg 5calls), here's a great tool to find your reps, including local ones. Tip: save their numbers in your phone, your future self will thank you.

there are so many of these sorts of calls lately :(

i was listening to a new ep of Sentimental Garbage and the guest Jensen McRae said

“The global existential problems we're dealing with now can be solved by empathy… and science”

and i’ve been thinking about that a lot.

Dear Senator ___,

I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies.

Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security...

1/4

😂

the oligarchs are open to any and all offers, folks! get your bribes ready.

this is petty i know but among everything else i also hate that all official comms from the WH now sound like a 14-year-old incel wrote them. 😫

oh and i’m sure Musk listened politely when Khanna “took those concerns” to him

jesus christ we live in the dumbest timeline.

RFK HAS MADE IT THROUGH COMMITTEE. CALL YOUR SENATORS: YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code]. YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote against RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS when it comes to the floor. His stance on vaccines and non-medical science is dangerous, and will absolutely cause medical harm. YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country and the next pandemic? All of this comes at a cost. YOU: I am calling on [ SENATOR] to reject his nomination when the vote comes tot he floor. YOU: [ADD MORE/PERSONALIZE/CLARIFY IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE]

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on.

But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS.

We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.

This is a good action.

STUDENT WALK OUT- OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES CITY HALL:

High school students from all over LA have walked out of class and gathered in front of city hall to protest the president’s fascist agenda. SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH! FUCK ICE!

Speaking of, I've just written my latest for the day. I channeled a southern preacher for this one. This one is about trans rights, but I left that out of the subject line so that it wouldn't be automatically deleted by their email handlers. Sign at @resist.bot

Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells | CNN Business The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers’ orders.

hm

i feel like we should all refuse to pay federal taxes until we are assured that Musk and his Muskelots are out of the IS Treasury.

i hope the low, low price of eggs was worth it.

oh wait…

I'm going to say it again:
Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

that one interview back in 2013?? or something? in Rolling Stone where he mentioned that “smart people” need to have lots of kids cemented it for me. clearly a dog whistle and clearly eugenicist.

i really miss being angry at normal things like long lines at the DMV or owners who let their dogs off leash on city streets

okay i’m still angry about that last one.

listen the thing about Canadians is they are super nice and polite until you push them over the edge

and then they will hold a grudge against you for a thousand years

well i wasn’t planning on bearing witness this month to a perfect t storm of constitutional, national security, and judicial crises but this is some Groundhog Day.

write and also call them!! leave a message!!
