Our candidates are outraising sitting members of Congress, all without taking a DIME of corporate money. The incumbents we are challenging shouldn’t be nervous; they should be terrified. Help us keep the people-powered momentum going: leaderswedeserve.com/2026-candida...

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

I’m proud of my senator for being outspoken about this. Pete Hegseth absolutely needs to resign. Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, and John Ratcliffe all need to go, too. You cannot be a leader in national security or defense and not be diligent about things like this.

Ugh. Mask bans are ridiculous, and I’m super disappointed when Democrats push for them. It was abundantly clear after the first 9 months of the pandemic that few people care about disabled and immunocompromised people. But banning masks? The only reason I am able to go anywhere is because I mask

Yeah, they’re trying to hide things in the CR. It is not just a way for them to avoid a government shutdown next month. They are also trying to use it to push through parts of their agenda. Don’t let them get away with this.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

If you are able to go to one of these events, please do. Please make sure to read up on all the various precautions you should take. Be safe 💕 If you (like me) are disabled and unable to attend, share info and do whatever other activities make the most sense for you and your ability level 💕

He will absolutely destroy both programs, with the help of RFK. They both have unhinged and ridiculous views on medicine. Oz doesn’t deserve to keep his medical license for all the harm he has already caused and will continue to cause if he is confirmed.

I really didn’t think we would ever reach a point where it was necessary to say this, but we have. Zelenskyy is a brave hero for his people. Trump may want to be king, but he isn’t. He can’t be, unless the American people allow it to happen. Putin is unequivocally a brutal dictator and murderer.

I’m one of those people. If I lose my Medicaid coverage, I will die. Not immediately, but within a few months. I will lose access to the medical support that keeps me alive. The really frustrating part is that I’m in this position because I was assaulted at work while I was a public HS teacher.

Check in with the people in your life who rely on Medicaid. Ask them what impact it would have on their life if they lost their coverage. Many are terrified right now.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?
They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.

Every MSNBC anchor who has lost their show this week is a POC - Reid, Wagner, Phang, Diaz-Balart, Capehart, and Mohyeldin. This is extremely problematic, especially when you consider it within the context of the prominent and racist actions taken by the current president and his team.

These mass layoffs make no sense. These are jobs that require special training and are always understaffed. These layoffs will make it less safe to fly in the US, and there will likely be more crashes than the 7 that have already happened in less than 3 weeks.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

I’m trying to keep this in mind, but it’s getting more difficult daily. I’m disabled and rely on Medicaid to stay alive. If the ACA is repealed or if Medicaid is cut and I lose that coverage? I won’t be able to afford my insulin, and I’ll die. I am also on SNAP.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I’m really glad there are some people in Congress finally stepping up to do something, but this needs to be an across the board action. All Democrats and all Independents should be delaying and voting no on everything. Hopefully a few Republicans will gain a conscience very quickly, too.
