🗽What is Due Process? It’s a precious Constitutional Right. Every level of government must respect it.
🗽Without Due Process—there is no law.
🗽 Without it—government can do anything to us—at any time.
🗽Be vigilant. Unite with us and Rise together. bit.ly/4g5RcEq

Portland is not “war ravaged.” U.S. troops are not political playthings. And Trump is not a king.

Democrats will fight in Congress to stop him.

Right now, Congress is considering a budget package that will negatively impact American life for years to come. We advocate compassion. We advocate our democratic way of life. We advocate free and fair elections. Tell Congress not to ruin what’s working. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
