valencing:

a few cool things i saw today that didn’t make me wanna scream and bang my head on the wall like everything else:

1) the MOST important – Two G.O.P. Senators to Oppose DeVos as Education Secretary, Imperiling Her Confirmation that means if all dems oppose devos, we have a tie that mike pence will break. we need ONE MORE REPUBLICAN SENATOR to vote no to sink the nomination, keep the pressure up. 

2) trump cancelled a trip to the harley-davidson factory in milwaukee because harley-davidson was worried about protests hurting its brand. lol but also pressuring businesses not to associate themselves with trump could be key

3) there’s gonna be a science march on washington on april 22 (earth day) cuz science is real 

4) a THOUSAND state department officials signed a “dissent cable” opposing the Muslim ban. the dissent channel was started in 1971 and is meant to be a way for diplomats to declare their opposition to particular policies without fear of political retribution. to gauge the level of opposition represented by a thousand signatures, consider that only 51 diplomats signed a dissent memo against president obama’s syria policy in 2016.
