We’re Democrats who are tired of crickets from national “leadership” when mobilization is needed. Follow us, we’ll follow back—let’s fight to win together. All power to the people. We are strongest as a team. Sí, se puede. #landback #blm 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏽♿️😷

All your senators need to hear from you—not just the Democrats, although you should be sure to give them what-for. They are continuing to collaborate with fascism when they could be following the very easy @indivisible.org playbook instead. indivisible.org/resource/exp...

If you’re a constituent of David Valadao, Ken Calvert, or Young Kim you have more power to fight for Medicaid by making a phone call than 99% of Californians. Call tonight, then call again tomorrow before 4PM

Federal employees, unions are advising not to respond to the “what did you do last week” email. Everyone else—not saying you should necessarily email HR@opm.gov with your accomplishments to put up on the fridge, but if you felt so inclined, consider a temporary email like tempmail.altmails.com
Screenshot of an email from NTEU. It says:

NTEU Response to “What Did You Do Last Week?” Email
 
NTEU Members,
 
Today, an email from HR@opm.gov was sent to all employees with the subject "What did you do last week?" The email asks that employees respond by Monday, 11:59 PM EST.
 
NTEU is advising all employees NOT to immediately respond to this email and to await further guidance. Once again, agencies were caught off guard by these emails, just like the chaotic "Fork in the Road" email.
 
This email is yet another attempt by the administration to scare hardworking civil servants who deliver for the American people every day. It is shameful. 
 
We will update you soon.

Elon’s “efficiency” purge has fired the “probationary” employees at Medicare, including attorneys who ensure beneficiaries get the care they need and YOUR payroll taxes aren’t used on waste, fraud, and abuse. If you’re hiring and are looking for exceptional legal talent, please comment here.

I've taken anti-depressants on & off for decades. They saved me during debilitating depression in college, and later after my father died suddenly and unexpectedly. They helped me be a good parent despite PPD and the long-term anxiety it produced. Antidepressants help people. This is evil.

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.
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.

“Can you believe Elon asserted that it’s a crime for a journalist to disclose the identifies of his crew, while he doxxed the daughter of the judge who is faithfully applying the law?” Yes. What you see as “hypocrisy” on his part is just authoritarianism. 1/🧵

This is not a joke. It is likely that ACIP recommendations will be scaled back (or vanish) under RFK, Jr. and be ceded to state authorities. But insurers may not cover vaccinations not recommended by ACIP. Get yourself and your loved ones updated ASAP.

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed

Congress failing to uphold The Constitution may look like inept nonfeasance on the surface, but the reality is much worse: it's a strategy. Republican lawmakers learned it benefits them more to betray us all than act according to their duties. To cede power by inaction gets everything they want.
