If people keep going out to protest, all of Congress will begin to realize they are going to be fired at the next election. Maybe then they will listen,

I mean, that would leave us with Mike Johnsonโ€ฆ itโ€™s really hard to say, which of all the people in the line of succession is the least horrible.

War Powers Presidents have overread their power to take the nation to war and have violated civil liberties in wartime. Weโ€™re working to rein in overbroad war authorities.

Yeah, okay do that, but itโ€™s NOT ENOUGH. Itโ€™s time to IMPEACH. This is unacceptable! How many times will Congress allow this man to violate the constitution? Please, represent the people and make some GOOD TROUBLE. Stand up. Speak out. Stage a sit-in or block the doors. Get arrested. Do something!

Itโ€™s time to impeach. The American people are counting on you. Make some good trouble. Do it now. We are doing our part by protesting and contacting our reps. You do what you have to do now to defend democracy! Sit in, lock down, convince colleagues, talk the international community, get arrested!

No. Unacceptable. I get you donโ€™t have a lot of power right now but you USE whatever you have NOW to push for impeachment. Stage a sit in. Block the doors. Get arrested. Itโ€™s time for Congress to make some good trouble! Do SOMETHING!!! This is insane.

"Know Your Protest Rights.
You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.โ€

This makes me sad. A woman in my neighborhood told me she & her husband canโ€™t sleep, they are so scared! They are definitely too scared to protest! We need white American-born citizens in the streets everywhere fighting for our immigrant friends & neighbors. (Good job recently protesters!)

Haunted by hopelessness: 12 Zambians share their stories as HIV drugs run out Mothers and children, husbands and wives, doctors, truck drivers and religious leaders are all grappling with the fallout from the sudden U.S. cuts in aid.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. Iโ€™ve done this ten years.

This is among the most horrific things Iโ€™ve ever read โ€” testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration.

Judge Boasberg warns Trump officials of criminal contempt Boasberg, appointed to the bench by former President Obama, has been at the center of a legal standoff with the Trump admin.

Thank you Judge Boasberg, for upholding the laws of our nation and holding the administration accountable. Show Trump he and his people are not above the law. I hope this gives courage to other Americans to stand up!

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador presidentโ€™s statements today, weโ€™re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Adoptive mom here. I see you. Iโ€™ve heard about this through adoption groups. Glad this horror story is getting out there. Together I hope we can stop the trafficking. โ€œRehomingโ€ children is disgusting and unconscionable. Adoption laws should do more to protect children from โ€œparentsโ€ who do this.
