the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

i genuinely do not ever want to hear another person say "we cant do anything". my exchange with senator masto just reaffirmed by belief that we can change things for the better. this nihilism perpetuated by our oppressors IS NOT REAL. WE CAN DO IT. WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS. WE JUST HAVE TO FIGHT.

Even if someone is a co-sponsor, YOUR calls [plural] could be the thing that shifts the scales enough that when the time for a vote comes, they hesitate.

Thread that's worth reading if youre scared that contacting your reps isnt reaching anyone or being ignored: these calls are having a larger effect than you realize, even if you arent seeing much public shift yet

I just called a bunch of democratic senators and I just wanted to say this to anyone who believes all hope is lost and we'll never be able to change things in this country. I was able to talk to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada directly after a brief surprise because I was NOT expecting /1

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

I just probably directly helped a senator kill this harmful bill. Do not ever tell me again that shit won't change. It can. And it will. You just have to pick up that phone. And you will DIRECTLY partake in your 1st amendment right to free speech - and you might get to lightly bully a /4

I referenced the MANY MANY civil rights groups that oppose KOSA and after my VERY long message, she flat out said to me "Wow, I actually did not know this. Thank you very much for telling me, I will make sure this information is passed to my colleagues and thank you for calling me today!" /3

to talk to a US senator today. I told her about the dangers of KOSA for LGBTQ+ communities and marginalized communities across the country and directly told her that although the intention of protecting minors from harmful content is good, this bill is NOT the right way of going about it. /2

If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime.

Here is a script you can use to contact your reps!

Is Deaf Pup Culture real?

Yes. But finding community is hard. I worry it could disappear. I'm creating content to build a bridge for disabled pups and keep our culture alive. Your shares help! 🐺🤟
