U.S. involvement in this Iran-Israel conflict feels painfully reminiscent of the 2003 Iraq War — questionable authorization, weapons of mass destruction misinformation, and goals of regime change. Demand your representatives support a war powers resolution! 🔥📞🔥 --> 5calls.org/issue/iran-i...

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

We will all suffer if this bill goes through but rural and poor Americans will suffer the most. Hospitals will close. So will clinics.

NEW: Cuts to Medicaid over the next decade would drastically reduce health care access in rural areas, Eastern Washington medical providers & government officials warned. Upward of 70% of those under 19 in Central WA’s 4th District in 2023 were enrolled in Apple Health, the state’s Medicaid program.

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · last yr.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

Authors & publishers of illustrated books: Credit illustrators when you talk about your books, esp if you are using their ART (including book cover art) in any promo graphics. Bonus: this also helps show that a HUMAN CREATIVE is behind the art, not generative AI. #PicturesMeanBusiness #KidLit

Betsy is a flippin' treasure. I've learned about so many great illustrators through her! And her shining a light is esp. appreciated when illustrators often get shunted back behind writers during book promo.

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov · last yr.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

The players are women over 50. The oldest this year is 87. They took the field in South Africa for their "World Cup." One team was crowned the winner but all the players consider themselves champions.
