I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

The word for this is "coup."
Musk's new department, which just seized control over payments as broad as USAID, defense, and social security, is presently livetweeting screenshots as they gleefully stop payments related to DEI, accessibility, and immigration. The account claims $1B in payments have already been cut off.

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 📉

Trump, who has claimed undocumented immigrants are fueling a crime wave in America, has begun his mass deportations.

One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals. Know the truth.

In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.

No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:

We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” We are in a time of challenge.

The question for every leader, every citizen is where do you stand?

Hate feels powerful at the moment, because it is a step up from fear on the emotional scale. The power of love is far deeper and more transformative, and at the top of the scale.
