So proud of our Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) who has been speaking on the Senate floor for nearly 20 hours, warning that “tyranny has arrived” in America as the government shutdown stretches into its fourth week.
Thank you, Senator Merkley!

Today we delivered this letter directly to the governors mansion, Mahonia Hall, with 302 signatures. We left it with the State Trooper guarding the house. BTW: Mahonia Hall is undergoing a major renovation.

The Los Angeles raids make Deaf immigrants more vulnerable: ‘ICE doesn’t care,’ @andreagtrrz.bsky.social reports. As the city remains under siege, both disability rights & immigrant rights advocates are limited in the help they can offer disabled communities.

Very encouraging and joyful! We got a lot of honks (even from truckers,) waves, and fist pumps! But very few middle fingers or thumbs down. One nazi salute, (cringe.)
