Picture of two postcards Lisa is sending to judges upholding the Constitution, with postcard stamps and a pen on top.

Today's thank you postcards to Judge Laplante and Judge Frimpong. Thank goodness for judges. Although enforcement is a whole other story.

My little thieves also have expensive taste. Not that I saw anything. I absolutely did not.

Just watched Les Miz last night! LOL

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social

I just met with Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and I gave her over 1,000 letters from people across the country who are worried about what she's doing to the Department of Education.

Picture of the California flag, which has a bear on it, and words underneath: "I choose the bear."

Never have I enjoyed watching someone else's breakup so much.

lol remember when Elon posted this?

Wow: Musk calls for Trump to be impeached

Rose are red
Violets are blue
Nazis infighting will always be my favorite hue.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Elon and Donnie fighting amuses me too.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

Another "enlightened" decision by HHS Sec. RFK, Jr. Making America Healthy by inviting a bird flu pandemic.

Whoa, lady. Hold up there. People dying of natural causes and old age are not the same as dying from lack of health care. Get a GRIP. Anyway, thanks for clearly laying out the GOP's main goal: k¡ll all the poor people.

Communication pro here with a reminder: If your messaging is too jargony, detailed, or data-oriented (or behind a paywall 😭), you're not going to reach the people who need to hear it.

We're humans speaking to humans. People need emotional engagement *balanced* with stats in order to take action. 📊🎭

I can't imagine how hard it must be to decide whether to stay and fight (and get fired anyway), or protect your peace and find other ways to serve.

Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

Various signs reading: IMPEACH. IMPEACH. CONVICT. CONVICT. REMOVE. REMOVE. IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE.

More than 50% of the nation wants this. Will you lead the way?

Agree. It's extremely frightening!

Passed the House. Still has to go to the Senate.

You're welcome!

I bring the humor to heavy situations.

I already said this on IG, but she's simply a genius!

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

That's a cute puzzle!

Excellent investigative reporting, as usual, from @propublica.org.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation.

Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians.

Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.
