a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?
DON'T DO IT.

my spouse and i have a nightly ritual now of writing letters we want to send/scripting scripts we want to say on calls to our reps. Literally we write 5-6 per night because that’s the pace of alarming things that keep happening 😫

i was listening to a new ep of Sentimental Garbage and the guest Jensen McRae said
“The global existential problems we're dealing with now can be solved by empathy… and science”
and i’ve been thinking about that a lot.

I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies.
Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security...

This is a good action.
If you have ever received treasury payments - tax returns, student loans, financial aid, social security, etc. Call your bank, mortgage company, credit card company, university. Express concerns about the federal personal data breach. Ask how they will protect your information. Put on the pressure!

Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

Here's an interesting thing about "DEI".
Avowed GC women are now learning that to right-wing men, THEY are DEI. Nancy Mace's rabid enforcement of cissexism and transmisogyny is not sparing her from Matt Walsh's misogyny, from the misogyny that treats all women who "overreach" as undeserving.

Hello, [Representative/Senator’s Name],
![My name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, IL]. I’m calling to express my deep concern about President Trump’s recent executive orders directing federal agencies to withhold congressionally appropriated funds. These actions appear to violate the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 and undermine the Constitution’s separation of powers.
I urge you to take all necessary steps to investigate these actions, ensure transparency, and demand the release of improperly withheld funds. Please stand up for Congress’s power of the purse and protect our democracy.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gph7oe57wbgb4cymr2iv276y/bafkreifnqbbaj6tas5dsxljkkgqibajunq57hb3g3g3vttmyrx3n2h4i2y@jpeg)
