Fighting for Democracy Everyday

We, the People, Refuse to Fund Violence No more blank checks for ICE. The Senate votes Tuesday.

People are asking WHAT CAN I DO! YOU have the power. YOU chose who to hand that power to, then YOU hold accountable those who have been given that power. Tell your members of Congress - Dems, Republicans or MAGA - NO to funding ICE uncontrolled violence. #ICEOUT

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

ICE has named its Maine operations “Operation Catch of the Day”. It’s disgusting. Here’s specific action you can take to shout out against these dehumanizing and unconstitutional actions.

If you find yourself asking - Does showing up and speaking out actually work? The answer is yes! @thejenniwren.teamlh.social lays it out! Show up and pass this along! #ICEOUT #showupfordemocracy

ICE’s violence is not an accident.
It’s the result of lawless operations, tyranny - Trump’s abuse of power. He has said he doesn’t have to follow any law.
This weekend, we demand accountability.
Congress must step up!
We take our power back — together.
#ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/p6PDSadk

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you! We gave them the power to uphold their Constitutional duties. We can take it back & put those in office who will! This moment isn’t about left v right. It’s about checks & balances.
#ChecksAndBalances #CongressionalAuthority #fyp

Congress, not the president, holds the power to declare war to prevent unchecked executive force. No president gets a blank check. Congress must debate, vote, and own it. This isn’t left vs. right—tell Congress to reclaim its war powers. #WarPowers #ChecksAndBalances #CongressionalAuthority

In a Hard Season, Know You’re Not Alone On Caring, Exhaustion, and the Right to Rest

This season is heavy for a lot of us. Caring takes energy, and exhaustion doesn’t mean you’ve stopped caring. I wrote this as a permission slip to rest without giving up what matters. You’re not alone here.

open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

Thank you for writing this and for putting it out there. It’s so important that everyone acknowledge and understand that sometimes it’s too much, that others are feeling it too, and that it’s ok to step off the train for a minute. Just step off and get your quiet time.

Best description of Trump’s “speech” yet.

It's one long run on sentence. Did he get into his son's stash?

WHEN did it become ok for the media to allow the President of the US to get free media time to outright lie. Media of all kinds - stop allowing this to happen. Stop it! #saveourdemocracy
