Happy Solstice!!!!! As we get down to the wire on these holidays it gets hard to find time to write. But you can get in some stealth craft work during family time - by watching holiday movies. #writingcommunity #amwriting #screenwriting #holidaymovies open.substack.com/pub/alexandr...

Alligator Alcatraz = internment camp. This broke me… “32 individuals inside a cage. It was 81° where we were standing…inside it was probably even hotter. How do I know? Because there was individuals sweating with their shirt off, while they chanted libertad, libertad, libertad.” - State Sen Jones

I am grateful every day to be living in Scotland. For political reasons, definitely. And then there’s this. Loch Lomond is half an hour away from us, but it feels like the edge of the world. And I love a getaway that doubles as a research trip! #Scotland #adventuretravel #writingcommunity

THE WIZARD OF OZ is one of the greatest film examples of: 1) The Heroine’s Journey story structure. 2) Jungian archetypes. 3: Anti-totalitarian movies from the last fascist swell of history AND - a great textbook for us writers to look at for how to fight the current one. #classicmovies #filmsky

"The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires & corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular & necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP - are all being targeted."

I'm in— California, Oregon, and Washington state have been invited to join Canada. In a tongue-in-cheek proclamation, Canadian Member of Parliament Elizabeth May suggested the three states could get “free healthcare” & “safe streets” by abandoning the US and joining Canada as their newest province.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

One of America's two major political parties seems to have embraced the position that the founders of this country really secretly intended to create a monarchy just like the one they fought to overthrow and that all this democracy talk these past 250 years was just woke political propaganda.
