Stop the Trump Shutdown

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/XgNl3rMv

Take a look at the organization Indivisible. They have been doing exactly that all over the United States. They have a great organizing model, and I am betting you could get through to the leaders of the organization and ask whether or not they would be willing to extend their work to Britain.

Good news! Mohsen Madawi has been released from the detention facility and is now able to fight his case from outside.

Reminder, Mohsen is a green card holder.

Auschwitz is liberated | January 27, 1945 | HISTORY The Soviet Red Army enters Auschwitz, Poland, and liberates the survivors of the network of concentration campsβ€”and finally reveals to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . .

If you are concerned about this action, call your Senators and Representatives. Write an op-ed in your local media about the dangers of not holding people who commit violence accountable. Create your own local cross coalition with other social justice groups.

Our democracy relies on the principle that those who break the law, regardless of their political affiliation, should be held accountable. Pardoning the January 6th rioters erodes trust in the justice system and weakens the moral authority of our institutions.

A pardon effectively condones the idea that disrupting the democratic process through violence is acceptable under certain circumstancesβ€”an idea that is antithetical to the very foundations of our republic.

By pardoning them, the President normalizes political violence and signals that there are no serious consequences for undermining democratic institutions. Allowing those responsible for such actions to go unpunished emboldens individuals to use force to achieve political or personal goals.

The pardoning of individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot has sent a dangerous message that undermines the principles of justice, accountability, and the rule of law. These rioters engaged in a violent attack on the heart of American democracy, disrupting the peaceful transfer of power.
