Urge Israel to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza

The situation in Gaza is dire, with the United Nations World Food Program declaring a "full-blown famine" in the northern part of the territory. According to reports, around a third of Gaza's population is experiencing catastrophic hunger levels, and this could rise to nearly half by July if the sit

Please say no to the latest KOSA iteration

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) poses significant risks to online speech and privacy. While well-intentioned, the bill's overbroad and vague provisions could force internet platforms to censor legal content and implement invasive age verification measures. This would limit access to vital informat

Please say it loud.

The attacks on Palestine must stop now. Do whatever you have to do to make it stop. This is genocide. These are war crimes. Please make it known that you do not support Israel's actions. Please make it known that you support students' right to protest. Please demand divestment from companies that pr

Repeatedly, Israel has dangled false promises before Palestinians, offering temporary cease-fires, peace deals, and other concessions, only to dash their hopes time and again, prolonging the suffering of the people. As citizens of the United States, we can no longer passively stand by while our gov

My friend recently lost her job, she's been trying to apply for unemployment for over a week, but the system seems to be broken and she can't get through. She can't apply online, the phone number keeps hanging up on her after hours of waiting. She's diabetic and can't go without her medicine, how do

Save Innocent Citizens - Ceasefire Now 🇵🇸

We need action in Gaza. Please amplify the millions of Americans interested in peace by calling for a ceasefire. Israel's retaliation is too aggressive.

Preserve Accountability: No Absolute Immunity for Presidents

The recent concerns raised by J. Michael Luttig, a former federal judge, regarding the potential for former President Trump to evade accountability for alleged crimes related to the 2020 election insurrection attempt, are deeply troubling.

Proud of Sen. Merkley, Ashamed of Everyone Else

I am writing to express the pride I have on this day for Sen. Merkley, who voted no against the aid packages. He is among the brave few who are willing to stand by their principles, denying support for Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians — even if it costs Ukraine vital supplies. Shame on those wh

"Commendable Leadership in Aid Package for Allies"

Appreciation is extended for the recent display of leadership in pushing forward the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies.

TikTok - Do NOT Ban

Dear #Congress, your irrational obsession with #TikTok, and your choice to ban it on behalf of your rich puppet-masters prompts an equal, but opposite reaction (law of nature); resulting in my voting decision to be equally irrational. I’ll be writing in and voting for: “TikTok”.

Vote YES on Ukraine aid

I was glad to learn that Speaker Mike Johnson is finally putting Ukraine aid up for a vote in the House. For eight months now, Congress has failed to approve crucial new aid to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people have suffered because of it. Despite running critically short on ammunition and air defens

This is a complaint regarding the scheduling incompetence and/or negligence by Portland & Western Railroad. Based on their website with a confusing mix of P&W Railroad and G&W Railroad branding depending on which section of website one is viewing - I'm leaning towards incompetence. The real issue he

National Security Supplemental

I stand with the Senate on the National Security Supplemental. The House must pass this bill. It is simple. Does the US stand with Ukraine and Israel, or Putin, his puppet Trump, and Iran? Call out the Republicans for putting democracy at grave risk at home and throughout the world.

Improve relations with Cuba

I am writing to express my support for bringing forth initiatives to change U.S. policies toward Cuba in order to promote greater engagement with the U.S. and eliminate punitive travel and trade restrictions that have damaged both countries for over 60 years. I was dismayed to learn of the recent
