Signing @change.org petition from Charlotte Clymer and, like many others, calling for #ChuckSchumer to #Resign. @indivisible.org is also calling for this. Dems need a leader who can actually lead the resistance. Calling Sens in the morning.

Why Chuck Schumer Should Step Down
It's pretty simple.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Reading up on the history of violence (esp. property destruction) as a strategic tactic of resistance after @ezralevin.bsky.social STRONGLY condemned Tesla-related property destruction + said it had no place on today's @indivisible.org call. Couldn't disagree more: that's a very white hetero take.

Sens in MI, NV, NH, GA, CO, AZ VT, & VA need to hear from constituents TODAY urging them to vote no on cloture and the Republican spending bill. I'll be calling #Washington Sens. urging them to stay committed to voting no/thanking them.

Creating a separate 'burner' email that doesn't contain real personal info might be a good weekend activity. Using Tor/a VPN can help you hide your IP address if that's a concern.

The Heritage Foundation wants to know if YOU support what DOGE is doing.

They have some questions:

Do you support $280,000 for “diverse” bird watcher groups?

Do you believe DOGE will be an effective tool for eliminating excessive government spending?

And more!

Feel free to let them know!

Finished #LetThisRadicalizeYou today. 2 favorite quotes from the second half of the book:

"We cannot do this all at once. But every day offers every one of us little invitations for resistance."

"Every day I commit to bringing my imperfect and small actions to the pile."
