Progressive Floridian living near the Gulf of Mexico and not going anywhere. Bodily autonomy is a human right. Action is the antidote to despair.

Make no mistake: this distraction is also a power grab. Militarizing a police force against its own citizens to distract from the Epstein list is not only expensive and ridiculous, it's downright terrifying.

Happening NOW: @freedcproject is on the White House plaza as Trump sends 800 National Guard troops to patrol DC & puts our police under federal control.
Crowd chants: “Hands off DC!”
This is a power grab in real time—& DC isn’t backing down.

Despite D.C. crime at a 30-year low, Trump is abusing emergency powers to deploy the National Guard & seize control of D.C. police. Congress must condemn this power grab & fast-track D.C. statehood. social.demcast.com/s/t68k58rc

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true.
USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

SO FAR tonight, we've seen @jeff-merkley.bsky.social, @schatz.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, Dick Durbin, @murray.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social, Mark Kelly, @hirono.senate.gov, @warnock.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, & @kaine.senate.gov
Tonight is a big deal. Honestly, Senators rarely do what they're doing tonight. If your Senator(s) speaks (we'll get you a list tomorrow—but check their Bluesky!), they deserve a big thank you because they're starting to do what you asked them to do! Positive reinforcement is SO important, folks.
![Check to see if your Democratic Senator spoke on the floor tonight. If they did, call 1-833-784-1421 to say thank you and keep fighting. Here's a script: Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m calling to thank [Senator’s Name] for holding the floor and standing strong against Russ Vought’s nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. This kind of resistance is exactly what we need right now! Please let the Senator know that their constituents are watching and we appreciate them taking action.
I also want to encourage [Senator’s Name] to keep fighting—vote NO on all of Trump’s nominees, call for quorum, and block unanimous consent. The stakes are too high to let anything through without a fight. We need them to use every tool at their disposal to slow this administration down.
Thank you! Can you pass my message along to the Senator?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4mk7qnew2i34bycg6wdg4knp/bafkreign3oh7lfji6kultlozb2mwlba7hzijckueasqrimilnzfw45mueu@jpeg)

🚨 Cutting Medicaid is a direct attack on our most vulnerable communities. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege! Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of working families, and we will fight to protect it.
This is their plan to starve Medicaid. Gutting Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars will rip health care away from kids, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, and working families. You don’t cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid without hurting millions of people.

Don’t let anyone lie about January 6th. It was an armed attack. They had pipe bombs, guns, Molotov cocktails, stun guns, a crossbow, hockey sticks, bats, flagpoles, pepper/bear spray, brass knuckles, scissors, screwdrivers, and an axe. More than 1,200 arrested. 117 for weapons/assaulting police.
