For the first time in a long time, I'm embarrassed of my state. @smith.senate.gov what are you going to do to stop the unqualified weaponization of #mentalhealth?

MN reps introduced a bill attacking Trump opponents of having a made-up mental illness "Trump Derangement Syndrom." They a) aren't qualified to define or dx mental illness, & b) are weaponizing mental health. You see the problem, right?

@smith.senate.gov what are you doing to stop this?

As an LNK myself w/ a partner, 2 cats, & a dog I love seeing this! 1 of my kitties loves my girl doggo, but the other kitty despises her & will hiss every time he walks by her. I had dreams of my kids all snuggling together, but maybe my future adoptions will! So happy all your fur babies get along!

Coward, Republican Senator Roger Marshall walked out of his town hall rather than answer a question about veterans being fired.

Republicans are fools if they think only Dems care about DOGE cuts to vets. This was a town hall in a rural Kansas deep-red district.

That's terrific! I hope more join across the country. I've been promoting this too, but sadly can't attend myself. I have a medical procedure & will be in no condition to march this time. But I've been marching, calling my reps (download 5calls), and throwing wrenches into things in other ways 😊

True. There are so many good people who can cause #goodtrouble, though. We can win, in part, by employing their own tactics against them: Cause so many distractions, they can't implement their nefarious plans. It's a known successful guerrilla tactic for fighting insurgencies. It can work here, too.

My long vision is hopeful because I believe there are more good people than bad. We're long overdue for a major change. But change is painful, & we'll all suffer in the short term. Some, like me, may even die. That can't and won't stop us, though. #HumanRights & a liveable planet are too important.

I hope other European nations follow suit and help us #resist. Our access to the Northeast Passage will be compromised, impacting our shipping & defense abilities, but this is the way. Hopefully, #NATO will step in so Russia doesn't gain a foothold.

Remember when you're writing your email, to address it to the proper "authority." Here's are some suggestions:

Flair Odor
Edolf Mitler
Pip E Lonazi
#Elon the Terrible

You can also add his minions, the "Nazo merry band of Muskateers"

Friends, one of the best ways we can #resist is to employ their tactics against them: Create so many distractions they can't implement their #coup. This is a simple way to do that. They can't investigate all of us. Create #goodtrouble, regularly.

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward.

Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it.

Remember, it's National Economic #Boycott day today! 24 hours. Purchase only from #smallbusiness or ethical corporations. No gas (even from mom and pop places bc #BigOil gets the money), no chains, no Amazon, no Walmart, etc. Make your voice heard and #resist!

If you ever wondered how a civilized modern country like Germany could have gone so completely and violently insane, you're looking right at it.
