Thank you 👏 please keep “causing necessary trouble”. Congress needs to find a way to save this democracy through whatever desperate measures they can find. We the people are fighting beside you 💙

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Listening to Senator Cory Booker on MSNBC after he broke the record for longest Sebate filibuster - he says he was pushed to do it by angry constituents demanding Democrats do something.

Irritate the hell out of them if nothing else

Corey Booker did his part. Now they rest of us need to get in good trouble too. On April 5 there will be protests happening nationwide.

Booker's team just told MSNBC they’ve gotten 14,000 voicemails from people supporting Cory’s filibuster and sharing their stories—and another 280 million people have liked his speech on TikTok alone.

A masterclass in capturing attention.

Well done.

We're going back to the Hill next week--make YOUR voice a part of it! Use the QR code in the attached flyer to tell your representatives how you feel about foreign aid and the actions of this administration. The deadline is Tuesday night, April 8.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Excuse us for a second:

This is illegal as fuck.

Executive branch records are the property of the public, not of these scoundrels and con men.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.

Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

Hearing from a source:

"A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged."

This is for all the people asking us why it's hard to tell what's happening at NIH. Retaliation is real.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

US added to the global human rights watchlist due to declining civil liberties.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

We are heartened by this call to action in Nature, one of the most respected journals in science. It urges the global scientific community to speak out on behalf of those being censored and support research as the US government shifts away from its historic leadership

This is stunningly lawless. There is no basis for an administrative stay. The Trump admin was ordered to comply with a TRO to preserve the status quo, flouted it for weeks, and ran to SCOTUS asserting that State & USAID can't make payments that they clearly can.

Trump administration shifts to next phase of large-scale cuts to federal workforce The Trump administration Wednesday ordered heads of federal departments and agencies to prepare to initiate "large-scale reductions in force" by March 13

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you *really* need to contact all of your congressional reps.
These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

Today is a good time to remind everyone to consider supporting independent journalism.

Also, federal workers, please consider talking to journalists from independent news outlets.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Poet, Toni Morrison is in a black & white photograph smiles at the camera wearing pearl earrings and a beaded necklace. Next to the photo in white text overlayed on a black background, she's quoted: “This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

Toni reminds us that we each hold the power to heal by doing THE work. This weekend we're committed to:
- taking our dogs for a walk
- checking on 2+ fed friends
- making a batch of veggie soup - calling our senators re the budget (& Medicaid's risk)
What about you? Share your intentions. Goodnight.
