HEY CORPORATE MEDIA,
Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT
Let me know if you need any help with this
I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country.
Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.
This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.
Trump and his shock troops are out of control.
This must end now.
Statement from the White House regarding deployment of the national guard in California:
“Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen…”
Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point
It's so hard right now to figure out what's really happening, what info is real, which spaces are safe, and how we can take care of each other.
Let me share with you what is working for me as a neurodivergent queer & trans Appalachian.
1. Watching Fran, in the video below, talk about her home in Altadena broke me.
The enormity of the loss in the LA area is hard to comprehend and is ongoing as the fires continue to expand and new ones pop up.
