Sending postcards to the Senate traitors. (And a thank you to Rand Paul for holding firm.) I’m so disgusted with @durbin.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov Catherine Cortez Mastro, Angus King, Jacky Rosen #ProjectMailStorm

Mamdani - let’s learn how to say & spell the name of NYC’s Mayor correctly!
Think about these contrasting storylines of the last week:

Zohran Mandani is the face and future of young Dems

Nick Fuentes is the face and future of young Republicans

Anyone else getting a “Let them eat cake!” vibe from the pRESIDENT?

Thank you @neguse.house.gov for reframing this question. It’s the Republicans who are holding up the show.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

HOLD THE LINE!
Democrats must HOLD THE LINE. Do not cave to right-wing ideologues who have ripped away health care from millions of Americans.

Keep fighting, and we will have your back.

Did you know the House can’t adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the Senate approval? Call your Reps! Has the Republican Senate approved this?

Heres the relevant text from our Constitution: Article 1, Section 5, Clause 4

Didn’t sleep well last night and tuned in around 12:30. Among the great points @merkley.senate.gov made, especially with quotes from How Democracies Die, I enjoyed hearing Midnight Ride of Paul Revere multiple times. Really glad other Senators are joining him and asking insightful questions.
The President is not a king.
The law is not a suggestion.
The Constitution is not optional.

Support your local food banks!
I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Pages and pages of websites that are down due to the AWS outage. Waiting for that email from Outlook? Its not coming. A cortado from Starbucks? Get out your #cash.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

5 Calls is one of the best apps for #resisters. If your Rep’s phone line is down, you can use the @5calls.org script to send an email.
Good morning everyone!

After some rough times, we’re heading into yet another shutdown week feeling lifted by the community spirit of the #NoKings marches.

We’re going to call our reps to make sure they’re paying attention.

What are you doing to help keep the momentum going?

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

We need to fully fund the CDC. This 💩 game the Republicans are playing with the budget will cost lives.

And keep reminding professionals who use AI - everything they send to AI to be written is no longer their property. Lawyers, Psychiatrists, Doctors, all that private client info? It’s now owned by the AI corporation.
KEEP REMINDING people that every time they use AI they are having massive effects on the planet, both through water & electricity use. Make it count if you absolutely HAVE to use it...
