Take Action Now!

With all the problems facing our country, Congress shouldn't have time to delist wolves from US safeguards. It should focus on REAL issues like jobs, health & climate. Wolves support healthy ecosystems and local tourism. #NoHR845 #ProtectEndangeredSpecies @pressley.house.gov app.sosha.ai/s/z6P9zEkM

Opinion | In Trump’s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? (Gift Article) Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

Alarming but not suprising.

On twelve markers of authoritarianism and "democractic erosion" identified by scholars, Donald Trump is . . . 12 for 12.

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Trump administration illegally targeted pro-Palestinian protesters, judge rules The efforts to detain and deport noncitizen activists earlier this year represented an unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment, the ruling says.

In a stinging rebuke, US District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, rules the Trump administration’s campaign to arrest and deport international students for pro-Palestinian activism a β€œtruly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of #FreeSpeech” @aclu.org #RumeysaOzturk
