I have taken this coming week off from work and will be using it to recover my mental health and catch up on all of my correspondence. Thank you for your patience and I will be talking to you soon!
Hello friends and loved ones. I am delinquent in replies to very many of you because I have been extremely depressed and anxious and I am very sorry.
MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader.
So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader.
Here's what they said.

Gender critical misogynist women finding out that gender critical men hate women:
Sen. @durbin.senate.gov are you a coward, a fool, or a traitor? History will remember you as all three.
Let’s all watch carefully which board appointments or cushy jobs @durbin.senate.gov gets from private industry for selling out the country
@durbin.senate.gov fuck you quisling. resign. you have sold out the people of illinois, whom you represent, and you have sold out the nation.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."
"Somehow it is always marginalized people who destroy unity by existing—never bigots who create conflict by subordinating or insulting marginalized people."
Minnesota Supreme Court Affirms Trans Inclusion in Sports in Landmark Decision ST PAUL, MN – Today, the Minnesota Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting, affirming that transgender athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The decision also clarified the harmful precedent set in Goins v. West Group only applies in the employment context, and the court did not consider whether to overturn Goins because Cooper’s case is not an employment case. “This ruling sends a clear and powerful message: transgender people have a right to enjoy public spaces in Minnesota like sporting events, restaurants, and movie theaters, free from targeted discrimination,” said Jess Braverman, Legal Director at Gender Justice. “This decision is a historic victory for fairness, equity, and the fundamental rights of all Minnesotans.”
This ruling clarifies that all public accommodations in Minnesota, including sports organizations, must ensure their policies comply with Minnesota’s anti-discrimination laws. The implications of this decision extend well beyond sports to other facets of public life. This ruling reinforces the principle that every person deserves equal access to opportunities and spaces where they can thrive and belong. “While we celebrate this victory, we remain vigilant,” added Braverman. “Across the country, anti-trans legislation and legal battles continue to threaten the rights and freedom of trans people. We will continue to fight for a world where everyone can compete, belong, and thrive without fear of discrimination.” JayCee Cooper is represented by Gender Justice, Nichols Kaster PLLP, Schlesinger PLLC, and Premo Frank.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.
Assuming trans people's physiology based on our birth certificates is potentially unsafe
establishment wealth and consolidated corporate power would like you all to just shut up, drink your corn syrup, and not openly opine on how the extraction class is fucking you over in about seventy different ways on the daily
that kind of dangerous wokeism has no place in polite society
fuck you
yeah, the thing is you don't even have to bring morals into it
it's just an obvious practical problem that society-warping amounts of power should not be concentrated at the whims of a single individual and the simplest and best way to solve that problem is to disallow anyone from having that power
billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society
also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.
Check out how tiny the crowds were:

@annabower.bsky.social can you text Lindsay and ask if she thinks her use of disappearing texts (and her use of Signal, generally) complies with data preservation rules under the Federal Records Act?
