Remember, this chaos and demoralization is by design. Don’t let it ruin your weekend- take time to regroup, find joy and come back ready to hold the line.
Cheers to dragging our feet on finding adequate office space for the next four years 🤗

One more for today. You all are probably following the same folks, but in case you aren't, here's the sensible voice of Jim Acosta. Now I have to go look at cat videos to reduce the anguish I felt after looking at the awful ICE raids on residents in Denver today. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

For my own sanity, and maybe for the sanity of some of you also doom scrolling as I have been, I'm going to add a cat photo here and there, or maybe a cartoon or positive music link. Here are my 3 critics today, who refuse to let me leave the room unsupervised (the 4th cat minds his own business).

Time to ramp up calls to congress and reps! I use the app 5calls - it makes it super easy, even provides suggested scripts to use, and gives you names and their phone numbers, based on the location you enter.
