This is a great and unfortunate reminder that there are some incredible Democrats elected throughout the country that many of us have never heard of. Another reason why we need to make sure we lift those voices up now.

Don’t forget that the republicans are trying to introduce a Federal Abortion Ban under everyone’s noses while everything is hitting the fan. Tell everyone and anyone.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Still time to call your reps today to vote “no” on HR 9495! More info below ⬇️
HR 9495 will go to a vote this week, likely Tuesday or Wednesday. Again. It's called a "nonprofit killer," a "threat to free speech," and will give Trump unprecedented power.

Tell your congresspeople to vote "no" on this bill.

See how your reps voted the first time

Find your rep's info here.

politics hasn’t ended and hard things are hard. i am NOT saying that there are “guardrails” or that trump will be stopped by some other force. i am saying that everything can be a battle if his opponents choose to make it one.

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.

“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5
