I like Ahnold’s suggestion.

People have already posted about this, but you can find info on the March for Science (which is happening on Earth Day) here:

I grew up in New York (to be fair, in the ‘burbs north of the city), and this discriminatory nonsense from other parts of the country pisses me off to no end.

When I call my house rep and senators, they ask for my name and my zip code. I bet you could still call them and their staffers will write down your opinion if you live in their district or their state. I live in CO and apparently we’re driving one of our Senators NUTS with phone calls. I think it might help. And at…

I tried that on a whim today - I called the New York Trump Hotel. The receptionist I spoke to was PISSED. She was trying to be polite and professional but I could tell she was intensely irritated. I felt kind of bad - she’s probably getting way more calls like “I’d like to leave a comment for the President” than “I’d…

This would be awesome. Jez as a more directed platform for both reporting and organizing would be great. Plus, more good stuff for the comment section and future posts: we can report back on the responses we get from staff and who is picking up and whose voicemail is full.

I think I saw this in Denver today!

Shit, we had 200k people in Denver today? I knew it was packed (the bus I took in from Boulder was standing room only, and I bet all of them were), but that’s insane.

I loathe Cory Gardner. My new goal in life (outside of work) is to make one of his staffers cry. Part of the reason I’m pissed at him: it seems like he actually good be a decent Senator and a decent person if he tried, because some of his work and policies don’t suck, but he’s also stuck following the GOP party-line.…

Thank you, this is a really helpful and detailed article.

Any response from the CO reps? I haven’t called Polis about this yet, but I’m planning to.

The FUCK? I mean, I expect that of them, but don’t they have other, bigger things to be fucking up right now? Are they trying to sneak this idiocy through while 1/6 of the country hyperventilates about losing their health insurance?

I do that just to keep sane - I can’t stand The Idiot and I won’t listen to him, watch him, or call him by his name. Glad this is a worthwhile strategy.

So THAT’s why Laverne Cox is speaking here? I hope the strategy works - I’m excited to go to her talk anyway because she’s a badass, and having it be a middle finger to this Milo jagweed is just a wonderful bonus.

My plan: I have an IUD, but if birth control availability gets really tight I’m getting my tubes tied. The Boyfriend is ok with this ... my mom is somewhat freaked out. I don’t think either of us has the stones to tell HIS mom my backup plan.

President Pence wouldn’t be an improvement for domestic policy, but I don’t think Pence would get us blown up. Pretty sure Trump is going to start a war.

If you like YA and/or fantasy, anything by Tamora Pierce will be fun and good company. The best written series that I’ve read are “Protector of the Small” and “Trickster”, but all of her books are fun.

Just re-read Harry Potter for comfort, and it had a few effects: it made me feel better and distracted me so I wouldn’t read the news. It alsomade me want to get off my ass and volunteer again.

You’re a badass and I love this approach. I know nothing about law so I can’t contribute anything more than praise - but if I see stuff like this on the news, I will party. Keep kicking ass.

Thanks for the info! And you know, maybe I’ll hide the hammer before inauguration day just in case...
