Everyday feels heavy…videos like this helps. Share widely.

Count me in! I’m an excellent social science researcher and worrying about whether funding for my and colleagues projects will remain is incredibly stressful and would be a loss for our state’s caregivers and youth. It sucks here right now.

The local newspaper in Lawrence, KS, The Lawrence Times, was linked in @maddow.msnbc.com post!!!! Way to go to the team - they are a small paper but mighty!

I live in Kansas did not vote for Roger Marshall and am thrilled to hear those who voted for him yelling “we’re gonna vote you out.” Fingers crossed.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.

His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.

Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

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.

Chocolate covered strawberries are great to enjoy on #ValentinesDay. Remember, this sweet treat is picked by human hands like Manuel’s, shown making his way through slippery muddy rows. He works by piece rate, so he has to hurry to pick and earn more. #WeFeedYou
