Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

It’s such an honor to serve in the Senate alongside my Sister Senator.
We are fighting for you. For hardworking families like the ones we came from.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

BREAKING NEWS:
We defeated fmr Ambassador #RickGrenell's defamation lawsuit against @oliviatroye.bsky.social.
Fed district judge gave #Trump's Special Envoy 14 days to file amended complaint. Given how well Grenell is apparently doing in career, can't fathom how he complains otherwise.

Powerful moment at the public hearing for the anti-trans legislation being fast tracked through Iowa. Faith leaders gathered above the rotunda to pray and just started singing until people listened. I believe they are singing "we are trans and queer together, we are singing singing for our lives. "
