Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

This is some insane Soviet bullshit. The idea that any American news organization would agree to something like this is unconscionable. I don't know how any self-respecting journalist could work for an outlet that's doing this.

Estimated protesters today: 5 million
WaPo: "thousands of Americans"

Estimated parade crowd: 100,000
WaPo: "cheering crowds"

A reader who missed both might reasonably conclude they involved roughly the same number of people.

Baltimore/Annapolis people, I need your help. If you can’t attend, please share this post.

The Anne Arundel County Public Library in Glen Burnie is having a Trans Pride event tomorrow, since it’s March 31. Unfortunately, the Maryland Republican Party has gotten wind and is organizing a protest.

They pretty much just vaporized him. Fucking terrifying.
A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile removed by employer Indiana University, & had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
and exploit all your workers.
Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard on high.

Representatives are people, same as you and me. They listen to the people who talk to them.

If they only hear from their rich donors, they listen to their rich donors. If instead their phones are ringing off the hooks with your calls, they listen to you

This is an attack on women's right to vote.

"as many as 69 million women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name."
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Feb 7
The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters.

The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.
