Pushback 90
Before I dig into the news, I want to pause to appreciate that this is the 90th Pushback newsletter since I started it on January 28. People have been motivated from the beginning to fight the Trump regime, and we have evidence that we didn't stand by and let it happen. Keep up the fight! I know that passage of the Bullshit Bill is disheartening. Now is the time to educate voters about what's in it and who voted for it. Check the resource guide for more information on how to keep fighting.
