Again, I'd implore my colleagues in the media to stop using euphemisms around "diversity" and "anti -DEI".
And start saying that this these efforts are racial and gender purgings. That these efforts are segregationist.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi
So, I'll say this: just this morning we got two polls showing Trump and Musk underwater with the public. So, yes, all this shit is terrifying, and yes, we're all at incredible risk. But they're moving fast because it turns out people don't like this shit, and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

I still regularly write notes/letters in cursive, and while I knew it was no longer being widely taught in schools, I had no idea it had fallen off so much that the National Archives is looking for volunteers:
