Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!

John C. Reilly questions why human rights have become political "Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights?" "Elon Musk says, 'don’t be fooled by the empathy trap'. ... Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower ... our ability to look outside ourself” 🎙️ It's Open Pod

This is what Laketown in The Hobbit always looked like in my head. (Which makes sense, since sites like this were what inspired Tolkien.)

Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk. sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

Senate Majority Leader Thune plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a vote next week. The measure is expected to fail, but it’s still important to speak up. Please call, message, and reach out to your senators and urge them to vote no.

The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover: -The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill. -Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.

boltsmag.orgIn an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter RegistrationA change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school. We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented. They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck. Silverio Villegas-González. Don’t forget him.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
