As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

This ain’t it, Lainey. It’s our turn to be on the frontlines. This is the time WE learn to be leaders. Yeah, we’re going to fuck up. We haven’t had to continually fight to be treated like human beings.
Time to use our privilege to do the work. Let Black folks rest.

Trudeau steps in to support Ukraine as Trump fails AGAIN to be the leader of the free world.
It would be great to see Trump work for America as hard as he works for Putin’s Russia.
Millions of Americans stand with Ukraine, not with anti-democratic dictatorships.

As Trump turns on Ukraine, Trudeau tells Zelenskyy: 'Your fight is our fight'
The outgoing Canadian leader has maintained strong support for Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion, but the relationship his successor will have with the country remains to be seen.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights.
That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion.
We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war.
Facts matter.

Worm boys office number is 202-690-7000 is you want to leave a message. Call daily on a different topic: bird flu, measles, halting cancer research, TB, Medicaid expansion — then just start over.

We have a Saturday night massacre. We have a Benghazi. We have tensions with Canada. The richest man on earth controls the government. We have a new Russiagate. We have a drunk running the military. We have a VP in league with neo-Nazis.

I think this is actually a place where ordinary folks with ordinary administrative jobs can make a difference
e.g. official stationary from your school saying "per President Trump's executive order dismantling the Department of Education, we cannot provide this service to your kid anymore"

Right! I just make them listen to my weekly bulletin-point list.
All, I just saw someone post to bring up one topic per call for staffers.
Here's why I've consistently said it's not a good idea based on experience as a constituent affairs director (current staffers, feel free to correct me...! ):
If you call too much, you start developing a rep in the office.

Look up how much NIH helps research in your state. Then call your reps and ask them how your state will function without the [$X billion] your state is about to lose.

Call your reps (find their numbers at reps.fyi). Say: "I'm a constituent, I'm calling because I just heard that NIH funding is going to hurt research and hospitals here in Ohio and I oppose this. What is [rep] going to do about it?"
NIH funding to Ohio supports billions of dollars of economic activity AND helps to ensure we have two of the nation’s top children’s hospitals.
Even if you don’t care about academic researchers, you should care about this! 🚨
