Today's thank you postcards to Judge Laplante and Judge Frimpong. Thank goodness for judges. Although enforcement is a whole other story.

I just met with Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and I gave her over 1,000 letters from people across the country who are worried about what she's doing to the Department of Education.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Communication pro here with a reminder: If your messaging is too jargony, detailed, or data-oriented (or behind a paywall 😭), you're not going to reach the people who need to hear it. We're humans speaking to humans. People need emotional engagement *balanced* with stats in order to take action. 📊🎭

Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."
