A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should 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: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Proof that consistency and patience is far more effective in creating habits in your dog than fear and dominance. Such a beautiful expression of devotion 💛

Happy to announce we’ve already raised $3,158 for Have A Gay Day since yesterday with our new pride sticker. Thanks for showing them some love! 💚

While walking around my yard with my senior dog, I saw a robin fledgling for the first time. It started hopping away from us through the wet grass on this drizzly morning. It is hanging out under some hostas now. That was cool

A quote from a dear friend: Today I put my Warrior Face on and summon my heart. ❤️

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

Brought the #chocowondermutt to work today. One upside to the early sun set time is the late afternoon / almost golden hour light while she sleeps in my office. ❤️

I simply cannot with this. The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead. Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Curious as to how much more you’ll pay if @democrats.senate.gov decide your health isn’t worth fighting for? Check out this calculator tool that shows what your ACA premiums will look like if @schumer.senate.gov and the Dems cave: www.kff.org/interactive/...

She wrote 1,800 poems, and only 10 were published in her lifetime—all without her permission. She spent thirty years writing some of the most revolutionary poetry in American literature. And almost no one knew. Emily Dickinson. Who knew??

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million. Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals. Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

That is SOME MOON! #supermoon

Can you spare a few bucks to help those in need? The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has a fundraising bike ride each year. The donation window will be closing soon. Please help with any amount you can. Thanks! engage.foodbankwma.org/goto/Amanda_...

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

Where do you find joy? I’m feeling a little low on the joy-o-meter. A little help? The bike ride helped a little Also #epsteinfiles need to be release Immediately

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Important.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

This Saturday, nationwide “Fight the Trump Takeover” protests will take place with 50 rallies across 20 states to oppose Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas. “Fight the Trump Takeover” is coordinated by Texas for ALL(@texasforall.bsky.social), the day of action pushes back against

SCOOP: The founder of Altitude Ventures, the company that ran the Teslas-only Tunnel launch (and wouldn’t ID themselves), is Clayton Mcwhorter… late father of Stuart, @GovBillLee’s Commissioner of Economic Development🤔 (The Boring Company’s TN LLC used their address to file)

Graffiti resistance. Part 1/2

And when they return in September, they can vote then. #accountability
