“Don’t have to understand everything … to believe they’re entitled to respect and human dignity.”

This.
I’ve heard from some folks that they feel like they just “don’t get” people who are transgender and don’t understand their experience. I hear you. The bottom line is that you don’t have to understand everything about a person to still believe they are entitled to respect and basic human dignity.

Pollywogs no more!

Day 7 of this passage is pretty epic. I’m sending daily updates via email if you want to see the mundane unfold.

This is about our collective humanity.
America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.

“We believe in democracy.”

Now if only some refucklicans would start doing that.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Provisioned up.

Also. #resist. Also #fucktrump.

Stop listening to constituents because you don’t want to hear their concerns.

“Sorry, boss, I’m not interested in what you have to say.”
GOP leaders advise lawmakers to stop hosting town halls altogether.

Social security, disappearing fast.
DOGE has been at Social Security since last week. They’re firing employees and closing offices across the country.

I don't care what Trump said on the campaign trail. They are coming after Social Security. It’s a display of utter contempt for the families who depend on it.
Anxiety Mounts Among Social Security Recipients as DOGE Troops Settle In
Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be signific...

Diesel, gasoline, water all full. Propane tank out for refilling. Last provisioning runs tomorrow.

Now we wait for weather.

“Make no mistake: This order transforms federal spending by taking it away from Congress, where the Constitution placed it, and moves it to the individual who sits atop the Department of Government Efficiency.”

Dangerous development.
The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

When the government is actively working against the best interests of Americans.

It’s only going to get worse.
Planes fall out of the sky. Children die from measles. Billionaires run the government. DEI has been replaced by DAF.
A child has died from measles for the first time since 2015—but RFK Jr. is brushing off the outbreak.

A fact many like to disregard is that undocumented immigrants PAY TAXES.

As opposed to, say, the orange turd and the billionaire ass whose feet he kisses.
AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

This is perfect.

@balint.house.gov what noise are you making? Where do we make noise other than calling our reps ?
This tells me the White House is well aware that the American people do not support what Trump and Elon are doing.

The president controlling which reporters can get access to him is another backslide into authoritarianism. It's a classic Putin move. Make some noise about this.
The Trump White House just announced that the admin — not the independent White House Correspondents' Association— will determine which news media outlets have access to Trump as part of the press pool allowed into the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One and into other events.

Intense provisioning run today has lockers largely full. Still need rum, wine, beer, and coffee. Fresh stuff.

Tomorrow I pick up my passport.

Getting closer!

Not time for sunsets. It’s all provisioning and prepping for a pacific crossing here.

Resist. Resist. Resist.
