Trump’s Anti-Trans Education Order Relies on Intimidation. We Must Not Yield. If parents, students and educators together refuse these policies, the policies will become unenforceable.

Thanks to a loud public outcry and a relentless media campaign from outdoors influencers the Trump administration is reversing its plan to eliminate thousands of national parks jobs.

Amazing work everyone. Keep speaking up, it matters!

What’s At Stake for Trans People In 2025 A Primer for Allies & Comrades

A while ago, I made an IG post to explain some of the material threats to life and wellbeing that trans people are currently facing - just cross-posted to Substack since I heard some folks are finding it useful to share

a reddish golden retriever sits and looks up at the camera with inquisitive eyebrows and ears that look softer than velvet. he’s holding a single red rose in his mouth that ever so slightly pushes his lip up on each side.

This is Wesley. He wants to know if you will accept this rose. Because he grabbed it thinking it was a stick, and now doesn't want it anymore. 12/10

I love men in all the ways! I believe we need more spaces for men (and beyond) in soft-brave connection, in support of the wholeness, healing, and thriving of folx of all genders. So I am offering my favorite curriculum with a different framing this time: www.orionjohnstone.com/communitycoa...

I made this last week and I've been relying on it a lot, I hope it helps you too.

1. Focus on the stuff in the smallest circle. There's plenty of it and we don't need to get distracted with "what-if"s.

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
