Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Now is the time to stand up for trans young people—against hate, misinformation & harmful laws.
Trans youth deserve respect, care & the freedom to live fully and authentically. We will keep fighting for a world where that’s possible.
To trans youth: You are perfect and loved exactly as you are.

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Gaslighting and manipulation in action:
They escalated verbally, accused him, attempted to emotionally manipulate him, cut him off, and tried to make him question his actions with their end goal of wanting to get him to react negatively so they could then point the finger at him and say they tried.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

What were your "tiny pushes" today? Your acts of micro-resistance? One of us listened (via headphones) to the "hostile government takeover" song on repeat at work. And hummed along. Loudly. What can we say, it's super catchy.
Goodnight! See you in the morning.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
