How long has @jeff-merkley.bsky.social been on the Senate floor now?
Why have I not seen when I give a cursory check of the news, not even a little blurb?
Carry on, Senator!

Senator Jeff Merkley (OR) has been speaking on the Senate Floor nearly 7 hours discussing President Trump's authoritarianism. Senator Andy Kim gave him a bit of a break to discuss NSPM-7.

Empower States to Undo Citizens United
Text SIGN PKFEPT to 50409 — It’s time for our state to reclaim control over our democracy. In 2010, the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate spending in elections. That ruling stripped ordinary citizens of equal voice in our political process — but it did not take away the state’s authority to define what powers corporations may have.
Montana’s “Transparent Elections Initiative,” known as the Montana Plan, offers a model worth following. By amending its state constitution and corporate charter laws, Montana is asserting that corporations — as artificial entities created by the state — should not have the power to spend money or anything of value to influence elections or ballot measures. This approach doesn’t depend on federal action or Supreme Court reversal; it uses state sovereignty to restore integrity to elections from the ground up.
Our legislature can do the same. States have always held the power to define the privileges and limits of corporate charters. We can—and must—use that authority to protect citizens’ voices from being drowned out by moneyed interests.
Please take steps to draft and introduce legislation modeled on Montana’s plan. Hold public hearings, invite expert testimony, and show that our state stands for fair elections and the principle that democracy is not for sale.
Thank you for your service and for defending the people’s voice in government.

The thing that is most devastating to me about the ongoing evisceration of the public health infrastructure in the U.S right is how little awareness of what's going on the majority of people in the general public have and the impact this will have on their health and safety.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

I wonder what the crossover is between dedicated nonfiction readers who are also dedicated romance readers is. Just me? I like my facts and history to be balanced out with happy endings.
You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
