@schumer.senate.gov there is still time to act with integrity and vote no on cloture and this harmful legislation. Or go ahead and support Trump, Musk and their Republican supplicants and forevermore carry that shame.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

DEI or DIE? As I see it, we can actively work towards Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or we’re supporting the opposite: Dominance (of white cis het able bodied men), Inequity, and Exclusion. What’ll it be?

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Amplifying. HR 9495 will be voted on as early as today. Educate yourself and call your Reps to VOTE NO. This Trojan Horse of a bill may look noble but grave danger to our nonprofits lurks inside.

Amplifying. Those in the U.S. please take action. This Trojan Horse of a bill may look noble but it’s vital that we and our representatives recognize the danger within and reject it.

🚨 Republicans are scheduling another vote on H.R. 9495, the bill that would give Trump new powers to unilaterally go after his political opponents. We need everyone reading this to contact their representatives and tell them to vote no on H.R. 9495: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Hello! Left X when it became X. Still have meaningful connections on fb but am tired of wading through the growing ick to find them. It’s heartening to hear of folks’ better experiences here and I look forward to connecting and exploring the sandbox!
