I’m calling on @neguse.house.gov, @bennet.senate.gov, and @hickenlooper.senate.gov to defend the TRIO McNair programs. Please urge the ED to release their grant awards. #ProtectTRIO #TRIOworks #ColoradoForTRIO

Today, September 16, is a McNair Day of Action. McNair is the only TRIO program with authority to serve “underrepresented students.”
Call your Representatives/Senators – demand that they hold the Department accountable and ensure McNair awards are released. #protectTRIO coenet.org/protect-the-...

Trump promised to lower the cost of living, but things have gotten even harder! Coffee is up 33%. Vegetables are up 40%. Washing machines cost 12% more. @momsrising.org is gathering #Trumpflation stories about high prices - do you have one to share? trumpflation.momsrising.org #MomSky

Reminder that incredible things are often cultivated from the smallest of beginnings. Lobivia ancistrophora is commonly called domino #cactus or Easter lily cactus. It has a globular shape, few spines, with large, white flowers attached to long, green tubes. #succulents #flowers #blooming #cacti

My weekly curated list of must-read articles and a breakdown of Trump's lawless use of deportation and rendition—and some thoughts on what those practices mean for us all.

Must-Reads and Some Thoughts on Deportations, Renditions, and Dictatorial Collaborations

While pundits fixate on whether Trump will openly defy court orders, his administration continues to violate them, ignoring rulings and telling one story in court and another in public.

Happy #SpringEquinox! It's also known as the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The date of the equinox is based on Earth's position in relation to the sun and varies slightly each year. This is different from the meteorological start of spring, which began on March 1st.

Fridays are for fighting #fascism. What are you #resisting against today? Drop the deets! Looking for more ways to engage and be inspired. I continue to sign petitions at @resist.bot, contact representatives, boycott, read and fund independent journalism, and engage in DEI in my work.

I dissent. Instead, “Democratic senators should listen to the women...a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement...Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way...For The People.” pelosi.house.gov/news/press-r...
