Just finished this audiobook by the smart & feisty @katieporteroc.bsky.social. I didn’t know much about her except for the white boards and a little bad press. As a student of Sen Warren and working for AG Harris, she helped many during the housing crisis. She’s the real deal - working for us.

Trump is cutting the Social Security Administration’s phone service.

Don’t be fooled: this isn’t about saving taxpayer money, but it will harm Californians who need help accessing their Social Security.

I may be mistaken, but I don’t think most Americans thought they were voting for a foreign policy where Russia is our boss and Canada is our enemy. Yet that’s what we’re getting.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

In the past 26 hours, the American national anthem has been booed at:

Ottawa Senators game
Calgary Flames game
Toronto Raptors game
Vancouver Canucks game

More to come. And it’s totally justified. We’re pissed.

Things that caused the DC plane crash:
— Having 1 air traffic controller do a job 2 people normally do, because of far-right efforts to destroy the government

Things that did NOT cause the DC crash:
— Women
— Black people
— Pete Buttigieg
— DEI programs generally

I’m trying to educate myself and others but it doesn’t feel like enough. He’s dismantling so many civil and human rights, it’s demoralizing. But I will search out more ways to resist!
