You can tell Season 3 of white lotus was written in 2024 because a rich southern Duke alumni spends a week freaking out about going to prison for finance crimes and not just texting his accountant to buy $5 million in $Trump coin for a pardon.

#SaveAct pushed by Republicans for women to currently have the same name as on their birth certificate to register to vote. It has already passed in the House. Get a passport now. 140 million do not have a passport and 69 million women do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.

There were school walkouts in Los Angeles all week and there are a lot of good reasons to not put every planned protest in a publicly shared Google doc. Here's a walkout I stumbled on in Glassell park, one of many on Friday alone. They closed the 101 downtown last Sunday. Plenty of protests in LA.

This happened to me in Trump 1.0 when I called in and the dude said, “wow lots of calls about this issue today!” and I asked how many is a lot and he said “Seventeen!”
Motivates me to pick up the phone every time.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.
