I have emailed all 3 of my MAGA dipshit Congressmen, will you join me in shaming them directly?

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social has a message for the GOP: “You run the House, the Senate, and the White House. If you want to pass the evil bill, do it yourself.”

The federal government is shut down because Republicans insist on ripping away our healthcare and handing Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab.

Our job is to hold the GOP accountable and encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

THIS.

The hardest part about the past decade for me has been realizing just how many people will simply never care. Your neighbors could get hauled away and you’d just shrug and carry on. We’re on a razor thin edge right now, soldiers are patrolling our streets, every speech is a declaration of war against our own citizens, and as long as nothing changes for you in the immediate, you don’t care. Our culture taught you selfishness, algorithms taught you hate and apathy, and history taught you nothing.

Take your money out of large banks and put it in local credit unions. Stop buying from the men/companieswho donated to Trump's inauguration. Donate to food pantries/community cabinets in your area. Curb your need to purchase new and reususe/repair instead. Plant some seeds.
So many ways to resist.

'Sitting in the Oval Office, flanked by adoring aides standing stiffly at attention, Donald Trump yesterday announced: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.”' - Democracy Docket

Unsurprised. And when he declares himself King all we can do is point to when we stated the facts.

"14 Palestinians, including children, killed in fresh Israeli strikes across Gaza"

They were going to eradicate Hamas, remember? Hamas must be hanging out in hospitals 🙄 Netanyahou will not stop until every native Palestinian is dead. Stop aiding the genocide.

I noticed this morning that 100% of comments from Gazans on my posts have been removed. Some didn't even have links. I looked to BlueSky to explain and since they are transparent they have already done so.
But 100% of the people who have commented don't have authentic accounts? That seems incorrect.

"Israeli army chief approves ‘next phase’ of Gaza war amid reoccupation push"

What I'm reading here is "Israel touts it's going to kill every native Palestinian in its greedy, bloody war to occupy all of Palestine"

UN warrants for Netanyahou aren't enough. Freeze aid to Israel during this genocide

Israeli army chief approves ‘next phase’ of Gaza war amid reoccupation push

Print/order some postcards to send to our MT reps 🤡

"About 90% of Congressional staff say personalized mail can influence lawmakers—if the volume is high enough.
Unlike emails or phone calls, postcards pile up on desks, creating a physical, undeniable message that lawmakers can’t ignore."
