A proposed rule by the federal government would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should not be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail before the public comment deadline on July 3.

It’s the salsa-making time of year again. Don’t ever make homemade salsa unless you plan to make it for the rest of eternity. Because there is no going back once you’ve tasted homemade. (It’s totally worth it. You should definitely make your own.)

Me: It’s “Why hasn’t Riley texted me about the cool things he’s doing and seeing and is only texting his dad?”

Celestial Seasonings used to make an herbal tea called “Caffeine Free.” It tasted like a black tea but had no tea in it, just a mixture of herbals. I LOVED it, bought it by the case, used it to make iced tea every summer. I was heartbroken it was discontinued. But today? I cracked the recipe.

I made an olla today because I’m upping my vegetable gardening game big time this year and am intrigued by this ancient irrigation technique. You bury the pot to the top, fill with water, then the water seeps out as needed. Saves water and better for plants. #pottery #gardening

We need to change our approach. This is a great framework
how we got here
The Right Uses Messaging as
a Weapon—We Must Fight Back
For decades, Far Right Extremists have dominated the
conversation. Progressives have passion, policies, and the
numbers—but we’ve been playing defense for too long.
The Problem:
Far Right Extremists use simple, emotional
messaging—division is the goal.
They define the media narrative
quickly, forcing us to be reactive.
They invest in messaging infrastructure,
from think tanks to social media influencers.
The Lesson: The Extreme Right didn’t win overnight.
They spent decades building think tanks, funding media,
and training messengers to shape public opinion.
It’s time we do the same.how we start
Messaging That Wins— A Four-Step Plan
CREATE
Craft messaging that is simple, emotional, and engaging. No jargon.
No policy-speak. If it can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too complicated.
EQUIP
Equip activists, leaders, and influencers with strong messaging skills.
Every progressive should be able to confidently communicate our
ideas in a way that excites people.
FRAME
Set the narrative early—and stop waiting for fairness. Far Right
Extremists create simple, emotional messages and repeat them
relentlessly. We must define the real threats (TheHoarding Class,
Extreme Christian Nationalists) first—using facts, but framing them in
ways that resonate with real people.
EXPOSE
Shut down misinformation fast. Don’t repeat misinformation —provide
facts from reputable sources that contradict viral misinformation.
Messaging is power. Let’s use it.

“Never accept the fascist offer.

The fascist offer is an offer of false peace. It's an offer to us to join them, or at least to not oppose them, with the promise that if we do, it will go easier on us, and the implicit threat that if we do not accept the offer, it will go harder.

The fascist offer is the offer of false unity. It's an offer to align ourselves with fascist intent-not even necessarily by agreeing with them, but by agreeing that our disagreement over the people they intend to abuse and kill is not a disagreement worth sacrificing our friendship and goodwill. It's a framing that says, "we are people, you and I, but they are not, and wouldn't it be a shame if we people stopped being friends over a little thing like this?" 

The fascist offer is an offer to do what I see some Democrats already rushing to accept, to agree with fascist framing stating that the only unity allowable is unity with them, and suggesting that if we don't accept this unity then we are the ones to blame for what happens next, because in our divisiveness we forced them to do what they already have said they intend to do with or without us.

It's a trap. If you accept their frame, you'll be inside their picture.”

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Apple Maps no longer has the Gulf of Mexico as a search term—it changes the name. But if you click Report a Problem, you can send them a message to correct the name. (Though it is still labeled the Gulf of Mexico when you look at it on the map without searching. Hoping that remains.)

Got an email from JD Vance last night begging for donations to the Trump National Committee JFC, Inc to “support our new administration.” That’s…interesting. Where is this money going? And they’re going to continue to fleece their followers as they fleece and destroy the government? Pics attached.
Email reads: “Jen,

My mind is still going a million miles an hour, and with everything racing through my head right now, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. 

So I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the incredible journey that led me here.
  
SECURE VP MEMO

Hillbilly, author, Marine, Senator — and now, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 

Who would’ve thought a kid from Middletown could one day make it to the White House? 

Not me, never in my wildest dreams.”Email text continues: “As you probably know already, I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth like so many of the career politicians I’ve had the misfortune of working within the D.C. swamp.

I grew up poor, in the Rust Belt, in a small Ohio town that had been losing jobs and hope for generations. 

My Mamaw — God rest her soul — would go into medical debt just to put food on the table. Some nights, she didn't even have enough money to turn on the heat in the dead of winter.

In Middletown, hard-working families that gave everything they had to achieve the American Dream watched helplessly as their jobs were shipped overseas. 

The statistics tell you that kids like me face a grim future – that if they’re lucky, they’ll manage to avoid welfare

I was one of those kids with a grim future, but through hard work, grit, determination, and the love of my grandparents, I made it out.”Email text continues: “First to the Marines where I was deployed to Iraq, then to Yale where I met my incredible wife, and eventually all the way to the U.S. Senate where I faithfully served the great people of Ohio.

But the real honor of my lifetime came from President Trump, when he gave me the privilege of joining his ticket.

He called me and said, look, I think we've gotta go save this country, I think you're the guy who could help me in the best way. You can help me govern, you could help me win. 

And after a whirlwind campaign – one that featured a second failed assassination attempt, a political coup of the sitting president, and a landslide victory – we stand at the precious of the four greatest years in American history.

President Trump and I are ready to keep the American Dream alive for future…”Email text concludes: “President Trump and I are ready to keep the American Dream alive for future generations and restore this country’s great promise, but we can’t do it alone. 

So today, I’m humbly asking you to step up one more time and contribute any amount - even just $5 - to support our new administration. >>
 
DONATE

Jen, together we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Thank you and may God bless you,

Vice President JD Vance”
