Protect endangered species

I am writing to oppose your proposal to rescind the regulatory definition of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act. Habitat destruction is the main driver of species decline. When Congress passed the Endangered Species Act, it explicitly recognized the importance of habitat in protecting and res

Restore NEH funding for robust humanities education/research

These cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) are extremely concerning and will have far-reaching negative consequences for higher education and society as a whole.

I’m urging you to investigate and immediately intervene in the Trump administration’s willful abuse of power through illegal “acting” appointments across the federal government. This is not mismanagement—it is deliberate sabotage. The most flagrant example: Trump named Deputy Attorney General Todd

Oh No, Not KOSA Again!

KOSA, the Kids’ Online Safety Act, is back, and still fundamentally bad. The latest version of the bill mandates a nebulous “duty of care” for online platforms, which can mean whatever the government or someone with lawyers and an axe to grind thinks it means. It can mean information about reproduc

Vote "No" ON Kosa. We don't want censorship. We are on a slippery slope to a dictatorship and KOSA will be used to silence the the LGBTQIA community.

Opposing S.5260, the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act

Please vote NO on S.5260. This bill grants dangerous power to the government to define obscenity as anything it disagrees with, including LGBTQ+ people existing or sharing information and experiences. Even if it were only used for the most obviously pornographic material, obscenity is not for the go

Wiretap law expansion

The federal government is attempting a radical, massive expansion of what constitutes "wiretapping" that threatens everyone working in media/as a journalist today. This would limit freedom of speech and be used against journalists using social media like YouTube and Podcasts.

Concerns about WoLF

Trump’s illegal acts

Something must be done to Trump immediately! It seems being president is a second job to him which he is using to enrich himself. As you know he is on a Middle East business deal.

Stop Fascism. Start Fighting. Before It’s Too Late. Like her or not, Liz Cheney is right: this is not just politics as usual.
