We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity.

I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking.

Don’t just go to the low hanging fruit and we don’t have to be everything for everyone. We have a broader impact when we work together. Martin Luther King Jr: if I can’t do great things I can do small things in a great way.

Recognize and address cultural barriers and capacity building and community led initiatives. Serve by taking the time to know the people instead of thinking we know the answers.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Trump is acting like a king because he’s too weak to govern like a president. - Ezra Klein

Don’t believe him - he is a marketeer. This is a good argument not to believe he is king and has all that power.

Did you see? At Law Dork, I talked with @nclrights.bsky.social's @shannonminter5.bsky.social and @aclu.org's @chasestrangio.bsky.social about Trump's anti-trans EOs, the litigation in response, the broader legal landscape, and more.

NEW: A Justice Department lawyer on Tuesday afternoon insisted that, even if President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to bar transgender people from the military was motivated by animus, the Pentagon should still be allowed to implement it.

On Tuesday in D.C. federal court, at Law Dork:
DOJ lawyer tells judge animus wouldn't be the end for Trump's anti-trans military EO
Another judge in the same courthouse temporarily blocked implementation of two provisions in another Trump order that threaten trans women's safety in prison.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Something non-political: when “a” love of your life comes back into your life for a brief second, completely out of your control, but you’re playing hard to get because they’re with someone else. They call you, but you ignore because you don’t want to get hurt, but have a really hot and tender dream
