Just a middle aged human who is a little bit good at a lot of things, spending the days feeding my community while navigating the wild, sleepless depths of the early parenting years.

My human puppies make the same face at me six times a day while I cook for them. You're obviously doing excellent parenting (and cooking, but I figure that's a given)! ❤️🌞👍

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Russia responds to Ukraine's call for a truce in the air with a massive air attack, targeting civilian targets all across the country.

With the US having cut off Ukraine's air defense shipments, Putin will now scale up missile attacks to bring about one of the worst massacres in human history.

Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

KEEP MAKING NOISE. KEEP. MAKING. NOISE. As a mother of very young kids, finding time this week looks like teaching my 4 year old to call representatives and using our voices while the baby scream babbles her addition in my lap. KEEP MAKING NOISE.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments.

A thought.
Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand?

Maybe they’re wondering why we’re not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen.

Maybe we all need to get moving.

Freezing Federal funding is unconstitutional and we must do something about it. Too many lives are at risk due to these funds being frozen. Call your rep and senator TODAY.

Clearly illegal This isn't about cutting the size of government. It's about further concentrating power in Trump's hands.

Trump's pause on tens of billions of dollars in federal spending is plainly illegal.

But his real goal isn't to shrink government. It's to get the Supreme Court to concentrate even more power in his hands.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Food, clothing, shelter, access to healthcare, education, and a clean environment are human rights. Why is this something we’re still debating?

Having ordinary civil servants turn against one another is a critical aspect of the authoritarian project.

Again, the gateway is racism.

I wish every Dem office would read this and internalize it. "The only sensible and dignified course of action is to accept that Republicans are in charge and to focus in on making their unpopular actions as painful as possible...The job of the opposition is quite literally to oppose. Get to it."
