Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I have never been more relieved to be wrong.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

PRIVATIZING SCHOOLS: “Billionaires created the groundwork for Trump to expand charter schools and promote federal vouchers. Those who benefit from this privatization scheme are not students, families, or taxpayers who support neighborhood public schools.” coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/03/bill...

This @nberlat.bsky.social piece is a good reminder of why we have to keep fighting Trump’s supersized lying — it’s a key strategy for fleecing us by cutting essential social programs like Social Security and Medicare while siphoning more money to billionaires. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-budg...

I wrote this on tumblr years ago, but it seems especially relevant this year with so many people struggling and worried about food security. It’s on the topic of thrifty gardening. I hope it helps some new gardeners out!

The People's Union USA has called for an Amazon-Specific Boycott from March 7-14. The link below has a list of all the different businesses that Amazon has a hand in... some of which surprised me (looking at you, MGM).

I've gotten involved with www.nosmallact.com There are a lot of counties that need representation still. If you are looking for a way to be involved in making a difference, this is a great way to start. I know it's giving me the kick in the pants to start building local community. #nosmallact

Democrats should NOT negotiate with Trump and his sycophants in Congress. If the Republican majority can’t get their act together to prevent a government shutdown, that’s on them.

Democrats need to grow some balls and stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism. Angry posts on social media won’t cut it.
