Ok, so here's something I'd like to put out there. Can we be mindful of the fact that not everyone has the same ability to resist in the same way? Instead of presuming someone else's means of resistance is inadequate, could we just keep encouraging one another to fight as best we're able?

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg
). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

Too many people sign a petition and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Meanwhile, politicians won't even answer their phone or email much less show up for a town hall. I'm not sitting down, and I'm not shutting up. Energies should be focused elsewhere.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

If they can’t even keep war plans secure, what about your social security? Your tax returns? Your employment, healthcare information? These people cannot be trusted and we need everyone to demand their federal elected officials do their jobs and hold this admin accountable.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Mccormick's town hall skipped my question: What proof is there DOGE has uncovered any substantial waste, fraud & abuse (their largest claims were erroneous & quietly removed from their site). And how does "efficiency" square w/IRS projections DOGE is on track to cost us half a trillion $ by 4/15?
