Happy 14th wedding anniversary @cthompto.bsky.social

We’re on very little sleep, still have packing to do and our movers arrive tomorrow…

But then we’ll be in our new home together making it all our own. I can’t wait for year 15 with you. ❤️🏡

Sitting outside with my dog on this lovely day reading Hannah Ricke’s debut book “The Ground Felt Far Away.” It’s a memoir of sorts and it’s glorious. Only 20 pages in but I’m in love already. Raw, relatable, unrelenting. ❤️

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

It’s transgender day of visibility but visibility as a means to security and safety is a lie. Solidarity must be built from a foundation that surpasses the visual/understandable.

Do you know why Americans are angry?

Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.

At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.

We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,
Robert Reich
Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has.

Or did you not pay attention at all in school?

Fine dude, you won. You got us all scared. We’re all fearing our lives, jobs, and future. Good work. Is that what you want to hear?

In the meantime, where are the presidents of universities, senators and representatives, and other “leaders”?

Anyone else wondering how it’s legal to stop funding by executive order on things that were already approved by congress?

Oh right, it’s not.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.
