@democracyforward.bsky.social Thank you for aggregating the many organizations that seek to protect the US Constitution. I'm in, with my mite. May the lawsuits be successful

@murray.senate.gov is part of the Democratic leadership response to unconstitutional take-over of government payments and functions. Thank you, Senator.

I made my calls, despite getting voice mails, odd interference, and full mail boxes: 1 representative and two senators, at DC and local offices.

Work for a charity with a religion in its name? Your organization might lose funding due to Musk's hatchet.

X has a post about Lutheran Social Services being "illegal."

Call your Senators now. An un-elected, un-vetted angry man has no business being in charge. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Not a fan of Murdoch or his empire, but glad to know WSJ is taking a critical (in two senses) stance.

Trump plans to build mass detention camp for deportees at Guantánamo Bay President Donald Trump ordered construction of a deportee detention camp with room for 30,000 migrants on the U.S. naval base in Cuba.

Maybe we can put them in Guantanomo with the "worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people" . . .

Call congress. Here is a possible script.

Hi, I'm [NAME] from [CITY, ZIP].
I urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose immediately the freeze on congressionally-approved funding. The President has directly violated the Constitution.
Thank you.
In VM, leave your street address to ensure your call is tallied.

Block Trump's Unconstitutional Federal Funding Freeze ⭑ 5 Calls The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is a crucial federal agency tasked with oversight and administration of the federal budget. In a blatantly …

Trump's federal funding freeze is blatantly unconstitutional, only Congress has the power to spend federal dollars. Tell your reps to support a resolution opposing the freeze now:

Another headline said "T** goes full dictator." Yup. TELL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION you do NOT support these orders. They can act only if they know we are behind them.

Any comment on the irony of this post?

Voted for AG Brown (no relation) and very proud to be part of the action (indirectly) on this.

Hope you and yours are OK!

12 million Americans are colorblind. What if government mandated that pie charts look like this. An unfair system keeps out people because of genetic expressions over which they have no control.

Now apply that more broadly. See why some of us are pretty upset? #DEI #ExecuiveOrders

Jen | Sociologist & Pathfinder (@itsjenniferwalter) on Threads As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal 🧵 1/ The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to p...

Overwhelming you is the goal.

found this incredibly helpful. Focus on 2 to 3 issues you REALLY care about; stay informed as you desire on the other 100 fires but communicate and act on your top 2-3. There are enough of us to handle everything if we focus.

Thank you!

Sandberg was recruited to help FB earn more. I was at Google when she made the move. As HBR reported in Dec 2024, "Increasing the diversity of your board pushes everyone to bring their A-game." She was DOING HER JOB and doing it well. #DEI #Meta #SherylSandberg The C.A. issue is separarte.

Hum, what other ideas from Elon Musk and teams might explode and fail? Anyone got a pool going for DOGE and how long it will be a "thing" before Congress says some version of "Stop this train wreck."

Sending good vibes!

What caused the Palisades blaze? Visual evidence points to a recent fire nearby. The Post’s analysis offers evidence that the Palisades Fire started in the area where firefighters had spent hours using helicopters to knock down a blaze six days earlier.

Heartsick over So. California fires. Read this a.m. that Palisades might be re-ignition of a fireworks blaze from New Year's. And LA Fire couldn't respond quickly due to other fires. More info will come out that might change the story. washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

I'm hip enough to be here but not hip enough to know who or what four of the six trending names mean. Sorry, though, to my friends in Pittsburgh and elsewhere who root for Steelers.

Thanks for the look at history.

Insanity = "doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.."

Might some people choose to relocate to inland areas with reliable (for now) water and few tornados? Iowa or Minnesota or Wisconsin come to mind.

What to do when the world is on fire. Taking action for LA and caring for ourselves and others.

Nicole Cardoza at Reimagined turns to "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler and poetry by Kinsale Drake (Diné ) to find opportunity for regenerative change after a blaze.

She also has a list of organizations and mutual aid groups in Los Angeles.
