Oppose racist immigrant visa freeze

I’m opposed to the Trump administration’s decision to suspend visa processing for applicants from 75 countrieswhere people are overwhelmingly Brown and Black. This discriminatory action is being falsely justified as removing a risk to the public. It will disrupt lives unnecessarily since the visa

Midterms will be canceled along with democracy, yet you do nothing. Resign.

The MIDTERMS WILL BE RIGGED or CANCELLED FFS. How do you not understand what is going on? How can you be so naive and DUMB? How can you not comprehend the situation? This is 1000x more obvious than Jan 6 insurrection and that was well known 2 months prior. We are 9 months out from democracy being sh

No blank check for ICE

Push to defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year.

Stop the Nazi Propaganda from the DHS and US Government Agencies

Dear President Trump and my legislators, I have recently been reading and seeing many references come up to redefine America, yet these references are mostly regurgitated slogans from the Nazi era and neo-Nazi propaganda. This is disturbing and if it continues me and my family will not vote for r

Balanced audit of spending, not political targeting

The recent initiative ordering a sweeping review of federal funding for blue states is based on a false premise that has been repeated for years but remains inaccurate. Blue states, on average, send far more money to the federal government than they receive, while many red states depend on federal d

Vote no on the save act: stop voter disenfranchisement

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act is a Trick. This bill, meant to “secure our elections,” is a trick that would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register to vote and cast their ballots. If a noncitizen registered to vote or cast a ballot in federal and state

Stop ICE.

We have seen ICE murder a women and kidnap a child in order to capture the child's father. ICE is literally taking hostages and killing Americans. We must do everything we can to destroy ICE and stop the Republican agenda. There's no room for compromise.

ICE just flooded a residential neighborhood with toxic green gas that’s no longer used by the US military due to its known danger, especially to children.
