No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
Iβve heard the death toll is now in the 80s
BREAKING β 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Call your reps to stop this voter suppression bill. It will disproportionately disenfranchise women who have changed their names and people of color.

βGurel's beautiful #ornithological descriptions interwoven with #Sufi poet Attar's work serve as a backdrop for steadfast #Laleh and her spirited cousin's gripping quest to save her father and the birds from her merciless uncle. Laleh and the Language of #Birds.β

Tell Republicans they are responsible for where we are right now. Share posts, call, write, and go to their offices. Do it daily and don't stop.

We want to set the record so he is remembered for what he did. Alex put his body between a woman and imminent danger (murderous thugs(ICE)), and he lost his life.
Thank you!!!
Senate Democrats just announced they will NOT vote to move forward with a government funding package that rubber-stamps the blatant, illegal and murderous actions of ICE under Kristi Noemβs leadership.
Protect our communities. Hold the line.

#BryanTylerCohen interviews #MarcElias about the DOJ's criminal investigation of #TimWalz (MN gov) and #JacobFrey (#Minneapolis mayor) claiming they are interfering with #ICE. The #DOJ says it is now a criminal offense to "disparage" an agency (ie, ICE, #DHS). youtu.be/4Vqj44VgF1M
1/4 I've heard from a number of people this week that the current situation in the US feels too big to do anything about. I get it but I disagree.
2/4 #HeatherCoxRichardson said in her speech at the Old North Church, on the anniversary of Paul Revere's ride, that in the early parts of the #AmericanRevolution, no one knew what was going to happen or how their actions would affect the outcome.
3/4 All they knew was to do the next right thing. But they didn't know what that thing would lead to.
When Paul Revere, an ordinary person, lit the lanterns to say the Britush were coming, he was just doing the next right thing, says HCR. And what he did ended up changing the course of history.
4/4 All we can do as individuals is the next right thing. We can't fix everything ourselves. We can't have phone calls with national leaders. But there are millions of us, and if each of us does the next right thing, that will change the course of history.

Using cups to demonstrate the extremely disproportionate contrast between Trump's wealth accumulation in the last year compared to all US presidents that came before him.
Yes!!!!
2/2 See #ChristopherArmitage's substack post for context. This is his initiative. I recommend reading what he is writing these days: cmarmitage.substack.com

1/2 Call #MN Attorney General #KeithEllison (800-657-3787) and demand an #arrest warrant for #JonathanRoss, the agent who shot and killed #ReneeGood. Anyone can do this, whether you are a MN resident or not.

2/2 #Raskin - "[the president pardoned] ~ 1,600 insurrectionists, hundreds of whom violently attacked police officers. [His]...characterization of RG as...disrespectful is not only factually suspect, but itβs legally irrelevant.β
#ReneeGood didn't have to be a "good" anything to deserve to live.
1/2 The issue of #ReneeGood being held up as a "good" person is beside the point when it comes to what her legal rights were. #JamieRaskin points out that it is legally irrelevant whether what the president said about her is true (that she was "very disrespectful" toward the agents).
This is worth watching. #DHS appears to be hiring anybody and everybody who applies with little to no discretion. We knew this to some extent, but this is a remarkable example.
