Actions matter more than identity. Everyone deserves freedom, safety, food and water. If there are people who don't it's because of what they have done, not who they are. Disability, race, sexuality, gender, etc. - none of these disqualify you from humanity.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Still one of my absolute favorite movie quotes ever:

If you needed a reason to play (or replay) I Was a Teenage Exocolonist (beyond the overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam 😏), maybe these character designs will convince you?

A screenshot of Marz from the game I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. She's a young adult in the image, with very long hair, thigh-high boots, and a tight-fitting dress.

A screenshot of Dys from I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. He's dressed in mostly black with a hood and a mask. His hair is in his eyes. He's outdoors in a pink, alien landscape.

A screenshot of Utopia from I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. She's got a long white braid and feet that look like cat paws. She's stretching on an alien clifftop.

A screenshot of Rex from I Was a Teenage Exocolonist. He's mostly shirtless and wearing bright blue pants. He has dog-like ears sticking up from his cropped hair.

More self indulgent I was a Teenage Exocolonist fanart. Yes I have a favourite character, no I'm not sorry.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:

DO NOT USE TURBOTAX.

THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.

Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...
