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.

An essential element of movement and community building is art and artists who bring life and creativity to the message of the moment. We’re seeking submissions from creatives to help us reach new audiences, enhance our message and create an impact that will last beyond No Kings Day: nokings.org/art

Banner drop, behind the scenes.
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.)

Here is the list of cuts not advertised or reviewed but instead pieced together by us from leaks. The programs in bold (most) have ALREADY been cut.
