Emailing our pediatrician to see if she's got any insights on what to do for flu/Covid vaccines before the cold months set in, in case they're not available for political reasons. I hate feeling like there's not a single thing we can take for granted these days.

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.
We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
This is horrifying beyond words.

For months, I've called out how the Trump regime is disappearing immigrants to offshore prisons like CECOT. I've demanded an end to their inhumane and wasteful action.
But the evidence keeps piling up: thousands of our neighbors are being sent to CECOT w/o any documentation or due process. (1/2)

"Build as much clean energy as possible as fast as possible" should be our No. 1 national priority in the coming decade. All our national resources should be bent to the task. The president should talk about it every week in a national address. It should be the moon shot X100.
In order to keep global warming below 1.5C or 2C, we need to move industrial activity to clean energy. This will MORE THAN DOUBLE our global need for electricity.
We are going to need a LOT more wind, solar, geothermal, and other clean electricity than most people are expecting.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the “US Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests.
It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

Today, I demanded accountability for the Administration's campaign to terrorize immigrants, militarize our border, and repeatedly violate our laws and civil rights.
Enough is enough.

Ah yes, this is why we have the famously leftist Federal Society, why Obama was so easily able to push through wild radical Merrick Garland, why Biden packed SCOTUS, and why known leftist Mitch McConnell said that appointing lifetime juridical candidates has been his top priority.
The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Remove random keys from all the keyboards. Stack all the chairs into a single conference room, lock it and jam gum into the lock. Wait until they're inside the parking garage then lower the gate and secure it. Let the air out of their tires. Shove some dead fish into their tailpipe.
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
