Today is #DAY3 of the #firstwave of #blackoutthesystem and the #secondwave is right around the corner. #october we stand with #nokings and in #november we push harder! Are you with #thepeople ?

Never play with a woman who's not afraid of standing alone. She's built from strength, confidence, and self-worth-and when you try to test her, you'll lose every time. #strongwoman #highvaluewoman #selfworth #confidence #bossenergy

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

Is an army of DPS officers needed to remove 3 peaceful protesters & Senator Molly Cook for supporting Nicole Collier? Nicole Collier represents Ft. Worth-district 33, of which 80% of voters are Black & Latino. Their votes will be diluted when Republicans carve them out of the current district.

I'm planning on medicating enough to enjoy dinner and a show with one of my loves and some friends. One step along the path to remember how to deal with this damned chronic thing.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

I think I've got this backwards. I'm working today and taking some time off tomorrow and/or Tuesday to do my taxes

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Excellent! I'll hope they are successful and accurate

This is concerning. I know everything is concerning right now, but this should receive some attention. I'm still trying to figure out (outside of protesting and calling our elected reps) can be done to try to get this to NOT happen.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

I gotta agree! I prefer the ugly truth over a pretty lie.

I sincerely hope this is satire

Love to see our elected representatives doing something.

I've been struggling to find words to describe so many things: capitulation being one of them. This does it brilliantly.

Now this is how you do a headline. Imma have to look into a subscription to @rollingstone.com. (It seems, despite the crazy work situation, I will post some political content)

This future is looking better than it should.

I've been neck deep in work for a few weeks trying to get ahead of a project. This will continue into the near future. So, rejoice in limited political posts from me while it lasts.

Don't know if it will last, but I'll take it.

Some timeline cleaning.

Thank you too @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.bsky.social for voting no on both the CR and Cloture. It passed anyway, but I appreciate the attendance to the wishes of your constituents.

I know I'm hitting this issue hard. But stay informed and let your senators know how you want them to vote.

@schumer.senate.gov you say that like they're not already doing that. Only now you want to give up your power too.

@bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social we will remember if you follow @schumer.senate.gov down the cowardly path. Hold the line.

Not only is the Republican Congress weak and selling their constituents to appease a bully, it appears the sensor senate minority leader, @schumer.senate.gov, is also spineless.

My Colorado peeps, please call. Check out the 5 calls app if you need phone numbers and scripts.

Here we go again. Call your reps and tell them to vote no on the Cloture.

A real life Snoopy ❤️

You heard @roguenasa.altgov.info and @raskin.house.gov.

And here's a gorgeous pic from a trip I took to visit one of my partners in the Netherlands.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social said he'd vote no on the CR. As expected, quite a bit of political speak on the town hall, but he did have some items he is focused on and presented his ideas about what we can do. It's sparse and not great, but it's something, and I'll give him credit for that.

I'd donate to campaigns for Dems who make this happen.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social is having a virtual town hall today at 5pm (in 10 minutes as of the time of this post). You can find out where to watch by going to his official web site. Check out what he has to say.

Yes!!! But still, call your reps so they know where their constituents stand

Here's the answer to the absolute minimum @bennet.senate.gov is doing to fight for our representative democracy. I'm about ready to go on a journey to learn about how folks get on the ballot for Congress; there has to be someone who will fight harder for their constituents.

I'm hearing our Colorado senators are a few on the fence. Please call them and urge them to vote no. The CR also contains an article that limits Congress'ability to alter tariffs; so it's giving Congress' power away. If you need a script to know what to say, download the 5 calls app.

Please call your senators

Sometimes we all belong here. Hopefully we all work to belong here less

2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.

Yes I to the Dems standing in solidarity with @algreen.house.gov. More of this please.

Sharing more beauty, this time by way of John Scalzi. I had the honor of meeting him and managing the folks in line for a book signing years ago. He was lovely and kind despite probably being exhausted from peopleing at the con.

Good to see! Thank you to the Republicans who voted against this bill.

Some beauty as a timeline cleanser.

Thank heavens for @algreen.house.gov, someone who will stand up.

…

Shame on all of them. I'm pleased to see neither @bennet.senate.gov nor @hickenlooper.bsky.social on this list

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.
