I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.

If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

The website for the Office of Gun Violence Prevention apparently no longer exists despite guns being the NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

This is truly the bad place

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

CA doesn't get disaster relief? MS, AL, KY, MS, TN, FL, LS don't really need social security do they?
@atrupar.com @teapainusa.bsky.social
i.e. only Republicans should recieve disaster assistance.
Rep. Warren Davidson on California federal disaster relief: "If they want the money, then there should be consequences where they have to change their policies ... CA wants the money without changing the policies that are making the problem worse & I don't see how Rs could possibly support that."

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Wildest encounters with nature 🤣

1. Snorkeling & seeing a humpback & calf about to swim into me
2. Cycling up a wooded rd and a black bear saunters out 20’ ahead
3. Waking to a bat crawling on my pillow
4. Cycling downhill at 45mph and a chicken crosses road immediately in front of me.
