Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. [you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt. [you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it. [you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't] I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

so: what do we need you to do? two things.

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

Had the pleasure of seeing this brilliant speaker this evening. Didn’t realize how much I’ve been missing black women’s perspectives in economics, both in terms of the current political moment and in general. Buy (and read) her book!

🙌🏾

I will buy (at least) one if you do

Rivers is an incredible writer and generous soul. Please consider lending them a hand at this awful time, if you're able.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Protect the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program - Council for Opportunity in Education We’re stronger together. Call your Member of Congress, send an email, post on social media, host a phone party, invite your Member to campus, and report your actions. Every voice protects students and...

Not surprisingly but still unfortunately, the McNair program is under attack.

I was not a beneficiary of the program but have participated in it as a mentor and speaker, and I have seen how it positively impacts the lives of its students.

I didn’t enjoy it, but it’s beautifully written and worth reading as the novel that serves as a kind of Dark Academia ur-text (it’s on every list)

I would read an academic murder book in which the murder was solved by reading the syllabus
