This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. The ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need: indivisi.org/choosetofight

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec

These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

The House Ethics Committee is meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to release their report on Matt Gaetz.

This meeting, which had previously been cancelled, is now back on the books.

So far I think this is a great place for people who used to use Twitter, but I'm not one of those and the political fire hose is a little intense. I'll keep checking in, but probably still primarily using Facebook. You?

I find Brad Warner interesting, thought of Jack Haubner as being more mainstream so the combo works for me. I agree with that Buddhist centers should be teaching Buddhism, am working in my life with doing that and expressing my opinions too.

Brad Warner and Shozan Jack Haubner suggest that Buddhism and politics don't mix. What I'm hearing is that they have no issues with taking political positions, but with relating those positions to Buddhism, which would inherently be detached from politics. youtu.be/mIolwln6TLI?...

This is encouraging - an attempt at non-biased news. I heard about it on This American Life. I can barely stand the NYTimes any more and am no longer even looking at the WaPo. I feel it's important to stay informed but have wondering how. What this guy is doing may be the answer

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

ICYMI: Here's the link to the livestream of the memorial service for Steve Silberman.

Jonathan from the church has added the link to the pre-ceremony slideshow (with music!) in the video description. So this is your one-stop-shop for all memorial content.

Much love.
