We refuse to give up.
We refuse to believe the lie that nothing we do matters.
We refuse to feel hopeless.
We refuse to allow despair to drive us into inaction.
We cheerfully refuse. by Leif Enger

Casual reminder that it's been 47 days since the House has been in session. Speaker Johnson doesn't think there's any necessary work that needs to be done.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Allowing these ICE kidnappings to become a common occurrence works to normalize this cruelty. This is how the “first they came” poem happens. No one speaks out or resists until, inevitably, they come for you. It’s up to our communities to look out for themselves when the systems meant to, wont.
