War crimes? Not in our name. Impeach and remove Hegseth & Trump

War crimes? Not in our name. Not with our tax dollars. Congress needs to step up and stop enabling war crimes. Hegseth has given orders for war crimes and committed war crimes. His "no quarter" order is just one example. The strike against the school in Iran, the two tap hits on small ships in

Oligarchs are stealing our children’s futures

I truly don’t understand how the US, and specifically the GOP, has become devoted to supporting Russian oligarchs and Saudi kings. Personally, I’m not in favor of the oil embargo that has been crippling Cuba over the past several months, but I was shocked to hear this morning that the US has allowed

Per the Portland Press Herald 3/31/26, out of the 192 people arrested by immigration officials in late January, just 12 had criminal convictions. Our president is a liar. His immigration “policies” based on false pretenses, and his treatment of these people and their families inhumane. You/we not

Despite the war and everything else Trump has done to distract us and you, the Epstein files still exist and indicate Trump has multiple accusations of child rape and other horrors. We have not forgotten and are not distracted. Crimes of this nature cannot and should not be swept under the rug. Y

Condemn Trump's illegal incompetent war

You justified your vote against constitutional order in relation to the war powers act and Trump's attacks on Iran because there were (then) no American soldiers on the ground. Now that is about to change. And now it is clear what a ruinous incompetent exercise this war has become. The straits of

Codify Trans Civil Rights Into Law

The recent federal court ruling blocking Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempt to ban gender-affirming care proves that executive overreach cannot substitute for durable legal protections.

Hegseth must be IMPEACHED & removed

VOTE YES on the senate's funding bill.

America is no longer a democracy and Trump is seeking dictatorship and racist mass deportation. His tariffs were illegal, his war is illegal, he is committing war crimes and breaking the international order. By now you should see that you were wrong about tariffs and wrong about ICE. ICE agents c
