Shit. I was just leaving a message with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden & burst into tears halfway through. I couldn't say all the words. It was about the Big Butt-ugly Bill.

Fascist attacks on our rights are depressing.

I've been impressed with NPR's unflinching headlines since Trump's return. No wonder Trump is trying desperaty to pull their funding. I highly recommend supporting them if you can. And please tell your senators, reps to support them.

I'm going to be calling it the "big, bullshitty betrayal."

I like that Dems are calling it a betrayal but just cannot tolerate keeping the word "beautiful" in there.

Baloney, bunk, babble, braindead, balderdash, bummer...

And now I'm going to link to Bluesky because there are good links within this thread & I don't want to lose them. Really solid explainer & SCRIPTS, glorious scripts. Don't let the hard work of the folks who compiled all this information & put together these scripts be in vain.  

Washington and Oregon: because of their committe roles I think Cantwell, Murray, & Wyden really need to hear from us about this.

Hugely helpful explainer + scripts. I used this as a starting point for messages I just left for Cantwell (Finance Committee) and Murray (Budget Committee) and am as always VERY GRATEFUL to the smart people assembling and sharing these guides/scripts/etc. It's so helpful.

Do you know what's really awesome? All we have to do is NOT GIVE UP.

Keep calling. Keep speaking. Keep writing. Go to town halls and protests. Keep encouraging each other. Keep demanding change. Keep financially supporting civil rights organizations and media outlets that do not bend, if you can.

#MAGA exists on repeated lies, we can kill the movement by repeating truth.

Be relentless.

I watched the Stephen Colbert interview. Sen. Chuck Schumer still imagines a world that we're no longer living in. His decisions are based on the belief that we'll have midterm elections. Our actions are based on the fear that we may not. #CallYourSenators They must move #Schumer aside. #Democrats

Loose lips sink ships! Call your reps now and demand they hold Secretary Hegseth accountable for putting our national security at risk with his negligence.
