Just called my officials again. If you are in the US, please call your reps and AGs and senators. They need to hear your voice.
I used 5calls.org to make the process a bit easier for me, someone who is really bad at phone calls.

Some of Trump's most dangerous nominees (Robert Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard) are just days away from a Senate confirmation vote. That means your senators need to hear from you ASAP — and we've made it easy to get in touch with them: www.nixthenoms.com/?...

FYI, many service members on base live in shameful conditions. Reported issues include leaks, mold, pests, broken major appliances, utilities outages—and there are often backlogs on maintenance.

There’s no such thing as an emergency paint job. Shame on Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth Wants $50,000 for 'Emergency' Paint Job to Move into Military Family Housing, Lawmakers Say
While it is not unprecedented for a defense secretary to live in military housing, it is far more common for them to find private housing.

Washington State Republicans introduce bill to stop citizens from voting by mail, which would decrease voter turnout and could expose voters at polling stations to voter intimidation and make ballots more vulnerable to tampering.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Federal workers, hang in there. We see you and support you.

If you have time today, watch this video from @aoc.bsky.social.

Really important messages:
* Authoritarian regimes try to overwhelm us to make us easier to control, so self-regulation is really important
* Educate yourself
* Your voice and contributions matter

Sick of doom scrolling and need something to do? Here's a thread of contact information sorted by state for all US Senators I'm sure they would like to hear from their constituents.

Federal employees, the last part is extremely important! If you become a whistleblower please don’t use work networks or devices to communicate about it.

This may seem common sense to you, but there are relevant annual trainings for a reason.

#Resist #FederalEmployees #Whistleblowers
WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt.

We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered.

Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

You cannot expect to believe in the goodness of humanity without tapping into your own goodness and sharing it.

You cannot expect to make big changes happen while ignoring the truth that they are only possible because of small actions.

Guess what? We’re still here. 😂

People are asking what they can do:

1) Keep calling your electeds!
2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that)

Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz says he’s putting a blanket hold on all of President Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running.

Pro tip: if your senator's/congressperson's DC office doesn't answer or their mailbox is full, call their regional offices.

Most senators have six regional offices. Just google your senator and you'll find it on their website.

Keep calling until you get a person or can leave a message.
