Phoned Speaker Johnson’s office at 202-225-4000 to tell his staff that I support Hakeem Jeffries’ delay of the House vote on the Big Budget Scam Bill. I also asked that all Republicans give up their health insurance that we pay for since it is inconsequential.

DIYers Celebrate Pride Month The Jacksonville, FL LGBTQ+ community & supporters provide a powerful example of many individuals shining as one for Pride & lighting up a municipal bridge with handheld lights for 20 minutes in defiance of hatred. To paraphrase Richard Dawkins, love works, bitches.

Every member of Congress needs to see and hear this. @maddow.msnbc.com please invite the woman in the video on your show.

We need to rename “DOGE”. 1. DOGE is not a department because Congress establishes departments. 2. DOGE’s mission is not identifying waste, fraud, and abuse, DODE actually is wasteful, fraudulent, abusive, and illegal. Language matters. Let’s name it for what it really is and does. Suggestions?

Why are US tax payers paying El Salvador $6 million/year to incarcerate people deported by Trump Administration? Typically US repatriated people, deported them to their country of origin and US had no prison costs to pay. What is the real reason for the El Salvador prison agreement made by Trump?

I phoned all of the Dem senators and the two Independent senators, Sanders & King, to say that I expect them to oppose the Continuing Resolution. Please phone Dem and Independent senators and tell them to vote no on the CR. Call volume to Senate is high, most times you will leave a VM. Please call.

I just phoned my senators. Thanks AOC.

I heard about the “3.5%” ruleThe BBC article is the first article I have read about it. The BBC article provides links to additional relevant articles.

AOC.bsky.social you would be great at this idea from former Senator Doug Jones.

RepThomas Massie (R)(KY-4) was the only Republican in the House to vote against the budget resolution. I phoned his office, 202-225-3465, to thank him for his vote and his courage. In the convo with Massie staff, I referenced this Vanity Fair article. Violence is not ok. Support Rs who oppose Trump.

All those civil servants in USAID and other agencies spending billions of $ on stollen. No wonder FOTUS is mad, he prefers McDonalds and KFC.

I admire this anon person in Alt National Parks, who live-posted today as Musk people broke into the USAID office and illegally took machines and data. They showed me that making it public creates friction. Refusing to normalise creates friction, so I'm sharing it. bsky.app/profile/altn...

I read that my state’s Attorney General had joined the other states in the lawsuit against the Felon regarding the funding freeze. I phoned the AG’s office to say thank you. The person who took my call said they received many complaints for joining the lawsuit. Thank your AG if they participated! ❤️

I like Presidents who lead. I like Presidents who hold themselves accountable. I like Presidents who love the United States because they love Americans, all of us.

On the FB Blue Rev page this morning, I read of a way to amplify facts. It is a simple idea that many of us can do on the social media platforms we use. It could be very powerful. Please remember to source the facts if you implement this idea and let us know where to find your page.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear. I will be looking out for where you land Jim Acosta to follow you from there.

I am glad I saw this post about making a $ contribution to The Carter Center. I will contribute and write a similar post in my fb account. I admire the work President Carter did as a citizen not only of the US but of the world. Rest in Peace and Power Jimmy Carter.

Agree with you.

Called Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), 202-224-4041, to thank him for publicly admonishing corporate media for reporting on the criminal referral of Liz Cheney as if it is a normal function of legislative power. The referral is bogus & dangerous, so to is the media’s normalization of it.

I saw this post on FB. It explains exactly how I am feeling.

Tell your senators to oppose HR 9495. It has passed in the House. Sec. 4 language would allow Treasury Secretary to take away tax exempt status from non-profit orgs that disagree with #Felon47 by labeling them as terrorist supporting orgs with no real due process & no public input.

MLK Jr. Day & the 30th anniversary of National Day of Service to honor MLK is January 20. Let’s get all Dems, Independents, & non-voters we know to do a service activity & enjoy being together. Surround yourself with your dear ones & service & ignore the media, no clicks, no views, tune out. Cont.

One more thing…Social Security is not an entitlement. Social Security is an earned benefit because the amount of SS benefit you receive is related to the amount of SS tax you paid. Don’t let Republicans rob you of your earned SS benefits. Call your MOCs!

The states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment pursuant to the Constitution. Call White House comment line 202-456-1111, tell Biden to send official order to National Archivist to publish the ERA in the Federal Register. Call your US House Rep, ask them to urge Biden to publish the ERA.

Rep. Chip Roy defends Hegseth’s history of SA by saying, “We’ve all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that.” Roy’s dismissal of Hegseth’s violence against women & Roy’s desire to normalize such crimes are serious. Call Roy’s office 202-225-4236 & demand he resign. I did.

Lies and misinformation cost us the 2024 election. I'm working on a powerful action that will help ALL of us combat that in 2025. But in the meantime, Indivisible has a #TruthBrigade, and I urge you to join it. I just did. indivisible.org/campaign/tru...
