Getting DOGE out of Social Security is certainly my top priority.

I'm fried, Jess. It will be a long process to even figure out if we can rebuild up in Altadena.

I keep up as best I can with all the good folks taking care of business. The wimp ass Dems who voted to censure Al Green absolutely enrage me and I have too much to do let that happen when I am powerless, except to tell MGP and the rest "No more $$ from me, traitorous SOBs."

The Coup is happening before our eyes. Decorum and civility are capitulation as our lives are, quite literally, on the line. GAAAA!!!!

https://votefwd.org/campaigns has 2 WI Supreme Court letter writing campaigns—I think it’s more effective than phone banks or door knocking because I think most people will open and read a letter that is hand addressed and has a handwritten note whereas I’ve spent hours phone banking or door knocking and not had meaningful contact with 20 people. It’s a non partisan GOTV message but their lists are likely Dem voters.

Wow you are so knowledgeable, & articulate. This time is so confusing. Keep telling us exactly how we can help, Some of us do not know what has helped you be so brave & get to know what you know about what to do. Please say how we find out more if that feels safe to you.

Yes, call anyway. I have Diana Harshbarger as a representative. Her recent town hall was a condescending MAGA cheerleading session. I call her every day. Scripts from Jess and from 5 calls help. Accounting, audit, and IT experience does too because I’m demonstrating that she can’t BS me.

Yes, There is actually a significant propaganda campaign against USAid to miss-inform citizens. So much of what we need to do is just educating people. The lies & propaganda are far more pervasive than most Democrats realize as much of it is circulating in spaces we do not frequent.

I have a question that no one seems to be addressing: I live in a blue state with a delegation that is basically progressive in the eyes of most people. Is it useful to call Republican representative in other states? Or should I just keep calling my own delegation and thank them and make my wishes known?

That's what I'm doing, too. Just make sure you have an address and zip code when verifying with the staffer.

So you mean you are calling Republicans in other states or just your own representative?
