NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.

We really need to encourage water conservation. They should build these data centers somewhere that gets above average rainfall or that has flooding which can be harnessed. Win-win.

"Nothing excuses Congress’s inaction.

The Constitution itself does not allow oath-taking officials to defend the Constitution only sometimes."
If you read just one thing today, make it this:

"By not impeaching, or even starting the process of getting there, Congress sends the message that Trump is America, and that it has acquiesced to the Constitution being replaced by Trump’s brand of corrupt evil."

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now!

Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

Yep. That's me....running against Ann Wagner in MO-2. You're probably wondering how I plan to beat her? Well...we have a national level campaign, rising donations, and a strategy to run everywhere in the district. I'd love your support too! We can win this seat.
That’s a whole lots of House Republicans with “danger zone” margins.

Every organization is vulnerable somewhere. The larger they are, the more tender spots they have.

Disrupt their events. Drive negative press coverage. Damage their reputations. Compel your organizations and institutions to sever ties with them.

Be a hornet - sting where they are vulnerable.
Here in Boston, we’ve made it more costly for Fenway to abandon trans youth and trans adults by protesting in front of their clinic, by severing ties with them, and by disrupting their gala and public events.

I suggest local activists elsewhere investigate similar potentials for disruption.
As a matter of survival, our response must be to make it as costly as we can, as ugly and as reputationally damaging and as expensive as we are able to - to abandon and sacrifice trans people.

To keep it from being an easy, simple bottom line decision to drive us out of public life.
