Spent the morning wandering the Arboretum meeting the Thomas Dambo’s trolls of the Field Study. We’ll definitely be seeing more of each other while they’re in town.

This racist monster isn't even pretending to talk about citizenship here any longer - he's celebrating foreign-born people losing work REGARDLESS of citizenship.
The Republican Party under Trump is a blatantly white supremacist institution and no Republican deserves your vote.

Wow. Stephen Miller and the White House political operation are now openly, explicitly celebrating the fact that *legally* present immigrants have lost their jobs:

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

So many of us have been warning the public that RFK Jr. is going to take away access to as many vaccines as he can.
The December ACIP meeting is dedicating an entire day to reviewing “the safety” of the childhood vaccine schedule.
There’s not a shred of credible evidence that warrants this.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

I mean, who wants to stay in a country actively stripping away your rights and personhood?
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
