“Get off your asses and make the world better, except we’ll never retire, we’ll make college unaffordable, housing unaffordable, childcare unaffordable, and any time you build a new industry we’ll use our hoarded wealth to buy it, fire you, and chop it up for parts.”

See how this call to action has a site and a reason and an actual action

Great !

Now go do it
We have to make this as painful as possible at the committee level. Send everyone you know in Louisiana the StopRFKjr.com link, and ask them to call Bill Cassidy. Their coalition is fracturable.

They keep telling you that they say DEI so that people don’t activate and then they do it to everyone
“At least 50 employees at the Education Department have been put on leave in recent days after Trump ordered federal agencies to eliminate all positions related to diversity, equity and inclusion. But almost none of them worked in jobs directly related to DEI.”
Trump’s DEI purge targets federal workers who did not work in DEI
Dozens of federal employees who didn’t work on diversity or inclusion issues have been placed on administrative leave following Trump's executive order.

From using StoryGraph the past few years I know I tend to read a lot in January. This year’s no different. I finished 15 books. Two were short stories, most were YA or MG. I wanted to explore some magic school adjacent stories that did not center white people. (1/3)

Watched Lake Placid for the first time. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Betty White is the highlight of the film, especially that closing scene, with Oliver Platt the runner up.

ICE raids across Austin today. Confirmed by local news and DEA Houston office. Keep your head on a swivel, know your rights, help your neighbors prepare for it as well.
