How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

#RESIST to his FACE with songs.
I especially love that the whole first row of singers were women and POCs. I know that has more to do with their vocal parts, but it's still a beautiful piece of theatre!!!

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

FACT OF THE DAY:
In 1800 abortion was legal in the United States- and the top 10% of earners only held 4% of the income in the country. By 1840- when they were making abortion illegal the first time, the top 10% of earners owned 55% of the nations wealth. 1/2

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

Contacting your congressperson is fine.
But contacting your local TV station is better.
One interview on local TV saying your congressperson should act is worth 1,000 office calls.

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

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.
