My life for the next five weeks. Moving 8000 miles from home for an amazing job took an academic toll. Thankfully, my professors were understanding and are keeping me take a bit more time to finish.

And then I see my work to-do list.

Yep, it’s gonna be a busy January!

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Advising women to get helicopter insurance in case they need a lifeflight because a hospital won't provide them care is not a place that would have existed in the country I was born into, but that country exists in name only anymore. There is no man who would be denied care in the United States.

Welcome to the First American Reich👇
A law student at the U of Florida — a self-described white nationalist and Nazi — wrote a paper arguing that the Constitution only applies to white people.

The federal judge teaching the class, a Trump appointee, gave him the highest grade and awarded him a prize.

The school defended the decision.

Me too. I am literally the ONE generation of women who had full reproductive age bodily autonomy - after Roe and before Dobbs.
One. Only ONE generation of American women had these rights.
Think about that.
Born in 1975, I represent the one generation of women who had rights.

I’m fighting for my daughters and granddaughters.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES”

This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

Mother's Day should not be compulsory for any woman.

It should be the yearly celebration of a decision, a moment to mark with gratitude a beautiful but perilous journey one has chosen to traverse.

It should be an anniversary of choice.

Sixty years ago today, John Lewis and Hosea Williams led marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a peaceful stand against the violence and voter suppression that prevented Black Americans from fully exercising their rights to vote.

Experts on authoritarianism warn and history proves that repressed populations who fail to push back against authoritarian creep suffer worse outcomes than those who do.

Fighting back at every turn - LOUDLY, RESOLUTELY, FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES - is no longer optional. It's our only path forward! 👊

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

As we approach #America250, its important to remember:

it took 92 years to end slavery

it took women 144 years to win the vote

it took nearly 190 years for Black people to be guaranteed voting rights

it took nearly 240 years to legalize same-sex marriage

don't give up

our ancestors didn't

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! They’re being blocked from the Dept. of Education—and they’re not having it.

Seeing Auntie Maxine ready to fight for our kids warms my soul. She hasn’t changed. Waters isn’t my congresswoman, but we love her in this house!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
