Good morning, friends.
May your coffee be strong and your day productive.
Find something, no matter how small, that you’ll feel proud to accomplish and do it. Then pat yourself on the back. Go you!

So grateful to have gotten to see The Met’s Democratizing Prints exhibit!
I love printmaking, its history, and connection to activism. It’s my personal favorite medium to work with when I have the time for art. Links below for some good articles.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.
We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

As lawyers righteously file multiple lawsuits against Trump & Musk’s coup, we must nonetheless recognize: the courts can’t “save” us. They won’t be the backstop protecting us from this takeover. The only thing that can save us is us.

While the lawsuits being filed against the Trump-Musk administration are righteous, they will not “save” us from this nightmare.
