Flash flooding threat today and Wednesday – Mid-week excessive rainfall outlook.” A U.S. map highlights a green-shaded area indicating a marginal risk of flash flooding stretching from eastern Oklahoma and north Texas northeast through Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and into parts of West Virginia and western Virginia. Arrows label the area as “Tuesday” across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and “Wednesday” farther southwest.

In addition to the threat of severe weather increasing from the southern Plains to the Midwest the next couple of days, the rounds of showers and thunderstorms bring a marginal threat of flash flooding. When encountering a flooded road, Turn Around, Don't Drown. See weather.gov for more.

Congress isn’t powerless to stop Trump’s war with Iran. From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, tell your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.

We all have to do it together. It won’t be any one single person, it’ll be all of us collectively deciding that this shit needs to stop. Find your local communities and get involved if you aren’t already (and if you are, thank you)

Living With Fascistic Paradox: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton We're existing in an oppressive and dysregulating environment. We have to change while maintaining ourselves to survive and thrive.

@jysexton.bsky.social is new to me this year. I absolutely love the weekly "check-ins" he's been doing w/his friend @daniellemoodie.bsky.social

Listen for perspective, or as Danielle shared, "modeled vulnerability" during this incredibly hard time in America.

So here’s the rule:
📵 If a political text seems sketchy—delete it.
🤔 If the group is unfamiliar—Google before you give.
✅ Donate directly to candidates, orgs, or trusted movement partners.

P.S. I'll keep you posted on the spending reports that come out of the No Kings PAC as they file with the FEC.
