NO PRIDE FLAG BAN IN ALISO VIEJO

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

You are simply an amazing human. Thank you for being you ☺️

Hi!! I love this book and recommended it to my ACLU storytellers group last night. I would like to read it on my TikTok channel but I can't figure out how to reach 'your people' so I can get permission. Can you point me in the right direction?

The fact we can boycott Tesla and make its stocks dive is evidence we have a lot of collective power.

Who’s next?!

In the Senate there are votes that are forgotten on the day they are cast; and there are votes cast in granite that will be learned about by Senators’ great grandchildren. Whether Senators do everything in their power to curtail Trump’s excesses will long be remembered.

A digital graphic features a screenshot from UU World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association. At the top, the UU World logo appears in blue text. Below it, the headline in bold black font reads: "UUA, Other Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration to Halt Immigration Arrests at Houses of Worship." A subheading in smaller black text states: "The Trump policy allowing raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, the lawsuit argues." The byline attributes the article to Elaine McArdle and is dated 2/11/2025. Below the text, there is an illustration with a stylized American flag background. The left side of the flag is blue with white, hand-drawn stars, while the right side features red and white stripes. In the foreground, there is a black and white sketch of a group of people walking in a line, including adults and children, carrying backpacks and holding hands as they move forward. At the bottom of the image, a black rectangular banner with white bold text reads: "Read more at http://bit.ly/uuworld-immigration."

The UUA proudly joins a multifaith coalition & the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection in opposition to the federal government's rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy, which violates the 1st Amendment & the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Panel from Tank Girl, where she's pulling on her boots while seated on a rock with a red and orange sunset behind her, a mug with a teabag on the rock next to her. The text reads, "I can't let things be this way. We can be wonderful. We can be magnificent. We can turn this shit around."

We can be magnificent. We can turn this shit around.

A digital graphic promoting Side With Love’s risk discernment toolkit for Unitarian Universalist congregations. The background features an abstract painting with bold red, orange, and pink brushstrokes. At the top, two logos appear: in the center is the dark pink and white flaming chalice UUA logo. To the right of this is the Side With Love logo, which includes a black heart outline and the words "Side With Love" in black and yellow. Below the logos, black text on a transparent white background reads: "When risks are real, how can UU congregations decide which actions and partnerships align with both their values and their capacity?" At the bottom left, a green circular sign with a black outline features the words "START HERE" in black uppercase letters, with yellow stars and a black arrow pointing to a beige box outlined in black and green. Inside the box, black text reads: "Get Side With Love’s toolkit for hosting important risk discernment conversations," and below it, the shortened link "http://bit.ly/risk-discernment " is displayed in bold pink text.

As harmful policies roll out, UUs are called to act—but how can congregations discern risks and align actions with their values?

White guilt: A white person’s biggest fear. (I’m white, btw). The horror of being asked to examine the past through a critical lens, to connect the past to the present, and to acknowledge complicity is too much, so we shut it down. You want me to feel guilt for something that happened long ago?! TBC
