Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Reminder that Dr. King did not say "I may not get there with you" because he was psychic, but because they'd been trying to kill him for years. Because they'd already taken down so many. Remember this when those with power use their fear as excuse for inaction or, worse, collaboration.

To procrastinate is to be entitled. It is arrogant. It assumes there will be a later. It assumes you’ll have the discipline to get to it later (despite not having the discipline now).

Today, give yourself the most simple and doable of tasks: just don't make stuff worse. Whatever happens, don't add angry or negative emotions to the equation. Don't react for the sake of reacting. Leave it as it is. Stop digging. Then plan your way out.

"I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.” — Lincoln

Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence. In what ways do we need to persist today, even when progress feels slow?

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” — Lincoln

Power doesn’t corrupt—it reveals.

Who in today’s world is showing leadership with integrity, and who is failing the test?

Step up, stand up, speak out.
 
This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid.

Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” — Lincoln

Lincoln said this before the Civil War, warning that deep divisions would destroy us. Are we listening to his warning today?

What’s one way we could build unity in today’s divided world?

With the House in recess and so much to discuss, House Republicans have plenty of time for town halls - but they’d rather ignore their constituents.

Demand they hold town halls!
