Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.
Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.
Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

Argentina says it will pull out of World Health Organization | CNN
Argentina has announced it will pull out of the World Health Organization (WHO), mirroring a similar move by US President Donald Trump last month.
NEWโMirroring Trump, Argentinaโs right wing government says it will pull out of World Health Organization.
Right wing govts donโt seem to understand that epidemics and pandemics donโt obey country borders.
Pray there is no health emergency of international concern.

Good Morning Bluesky. I'll keep saying this: CALL YOUR SENATORS AND HOUSE REPS. Tell them your data has been illegally downloaded onto private harddrives and taken away by a federal contractor without a valid need to know and without permission.

This is absolutely--and I cannot stress this enough--not how it is supposed to work. An Executive without functioning internal checks is a constitutional crisis no matter what courts are doing. Courts are a last resort when the Executive is acting unlawfully, and an extremely limited one at that.

And it โsurfacesโ - as though Trump hasnโt been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.
