Please block any transfer, exchange, or easement that gives Yosemite land to a private developer. Yosemite is public land. Please restore the Park Service staff this park actually needs.

ICE MUST BE STOPPED

ICE continues to ravage people. This dystopian agency must be stopped. I can’t believe my tax dollars are paying for this soul crushing cruelty and inhumanity.

Help Wilber Garces Perez - and stop ICE traffic stops

I’m outraged and sickened that another person has been shot by ICE. This madness needs to stop. This agency is completely out of control. Wilber Garces Perez was a DoorDash driver. He was trying to make a delivery when ICE agents rammed his car with theirs and shot him. It’s insane! First priority -

Please write a bill requiring that all ICE employee records are retained including a list of their arrests. Also we need detailed lists of those with green cards who had legal standing who were deported, all those picked up at court when they were complying with ICE but abducted anyway.

Why is Trump still in the White House? He’s a criminal, he’s a documented paedophile and rapist, he’s breaking every law currently written and a few that haven’t been codified yet, and still he sits in office. We need and demand action, tangible action.

Vote no on the clarity act. It does not go nearly far enough to prevent conflict of interest and protect the interests of everyday Americans. We need a bill that goes farther and actually has some teeth. We need accountability. Demand it!

I understand that the Trump administration has proposed giving a parcel of land in Yosemite National park to a private developer. That is outrageous. Yosemite—and all of our national parks—should be off limits to development. Congress needs to act to stop this, now. Thanks.

Trump is unhinged. Now he wants to change Lake Ontario’s name. He needs to be removed from office immediately before he has destroyed anything else that our (former) great country holds dear. When will legislators do their job and protect us all from this deranged dictator?
