DUers are asking "what can we do?" Here's an answer

36. Call, call, call your state and local officials

Tell them to SPEAK OUT:

No 1 message: They must become more than executives and legislators. They must be effective information warriors. If they are not voicing opposition on social media, including bluesky and sez.us, they need to be. And tell them you and your connections will promote their messages. You need to hear them on local radio. Opposition cannot be relegated to members of the House and Senate. Voices of sanity must ring across social media, radio, podcasts, YouTube, cable and broadcast media. You are calling on them to speak out, loud and proud.

And do not neglect your Republican elected officials. Call are tracked. DO NOT allow them to claim none of their constituents are angry or oppose WH nominations and actions.

Hit the phones: hones today. All of us. Loud and proud, people. Kennedy and Gabbard have their hearings today, Patel tomorrow. Three things you can call about today:

Fight The Unacceptable 4 - Gabbard, Kennedy, Patel, Vought. Keep the script short - they are dangerous, unqualified extremists and should not serve in the government of the United States. You expect your reps to fight.

Challenge Trump’s denying of funds to the states and localities (and dozens of countries) and his other illegal actions this week. Everyone has a stake in this. We must fight Trump’s mad power grab, his purposeful attempt to harm people across the US and around the world. Defend your democracy.

Insist they fight Trump’s “catastrophic” tariffs that will raise prices for everyone on just about everything and cause destructive trade wars with our closest allies (see yesterday’s Hopium post).
