End the Killings: States Must Unite to Stop Lawless ICE Operations Text SIGN PQZSKS to 50409 — On January 24, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, on a public street in Minneapolis. Multiple verified videos show Pretti holding a phone, not a weapon, as agents pepper-sprayed him, forced him to the ground, disarmed him, and then fired repeatedly into his body. This killing followed another fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis just weeks earlier. Together, these deaths represent a terrifying escalation: heavily armed federal agents operating inside American cities with little regard for civilian safety, constitutional rights, or local authority. State and local officials in Minnesota have condemned these actions. Governors and mayors have warned that federal enforcement teams are acting with impunity, obstructing state investigations, and refusing to cooperate with lawful oversight. This is not law enforcement—it is a breakdown of accountability. While immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, states are not required to accept federal actions that endanger residents, undermine public trust, or interfere with state law enforcement and judicial processes. State governments retain significant power over cooperation, access, and authorization within their borders. I urge you, as a state legislator, to act immediately and in coordination with lawmakers across the country to form a unified response. Specifically, I ask that you: • Join with other states in formally opposing the continued deployment of ICE and related federal enforcement operations that have resulted in civilian deaths. • Adopt or support resolutions asserting state authority over cooperation with federal agents and rejecting operations that violate constitutional norms or public safety. • Protect the right of residents to record law enforcement activity in public spaces without fear of violence or retaliation. • Call on your governor to work with other governors—across party lines—to demand the withdrawal of ICE from states where its presence has led to bloodshed. Governor JB Pritzker has already called on governors and legislatures nationwide to stand together against what he described as lawlessness inflicted on the states. That call should not stand alone. When federal power is abused, the Constitution does not demand silence—it demands action. No American should be killed for filming law enforcement or helping another person off the ground. No state should be forced to tolerate federal agents who operate above the law. Unity among the states is not only justified—it is necessary. Please act now to help stop the killings and restore accountability.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Uphold congressional war powers authority, avert new Iran war Text SIGN PLKIGI to 50409 — The rapid escalation of military conflict between Israel and Iran is alarming, with both sides launching strikes against nuclear and military sites. While the G7 nations have urged de-escalation, President Trump's inflammatory rhetoric and actions like shifting military assets to the region are dangerously raising tensions. This situation bears troubling parallels to the buildup to the 2003 Iraq War - questionable justifications, claims about weapons of mass destruction, and aspirations for regime change in Iran. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority over matters of war and peace. Support the bipartisan war powers resolutions (S.J.Res. 59 in the Senate and H.Con.Res. 38 in the House) to prevent further U.S. military involvement in this conflict without explicit congressional approval. As Senator Tim Kaine stated, "The American people have no interest in sending service members to fight another forever war in the Middle East." Unilateral executive action risks entangling the U.S. in an unnecessary, costly, and destabilizing new war. Uphold Congress' war powers responsibilities and block unauthorized hostilities against Iran.

Reject Trump Regime's amoral and fiscally irresponsible murder budget Text SIGN PXKWVO to 50409 — The current budget proposal before Congress is an assault on two fronts: it is nothing short of a devastating assault on the well-being of ordinary Americans, and it is a reckless giveaway to corporations and the wealthy that will explode the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the next decade. Donald Trump yelled at congressmen today that they shouldn’t “f*ck around with Medicaid.” We all have to be very clear the MAGA murder budget does plenty of “f*cking around” with this crucial health program, and 7.6 million middle-income and working Americans are set to “find out” and become uninsured to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. The worst price will be paid by children and seniors in nursing homes who rely on this program. And that’s just the beginning – in total 14 million people will lose health insurance coverage under the MAGA murder budget. Equally alarming is the defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency designed to shield consumers from predatory financial practices. This move leaves millions vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous corporations. Moreover, the proposal callously rolls back the Inflation Reduction Act's crucial climate initiatives, a reckless disregard for the urgent need to address the existential threat of climate change. Further compounding the harm, draconian cuts to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) threaten to deprive millions of low-income families and individuals of basic food security, exacerbating poverty and hunger. The partisan attack on federal regulations is yet another misguided effort that endangers public health, safety, and environmental protections that safeguard us all. Perhaps most egregiously, the proposed measures seek to undermine the judiciary's ability to hold the previous administration accountable for its transgressions, subverting the very foundations of our system of checks and balances. This fiscally irresponsible proposal provides minimal relief to middle-class families while overwhelmingly benefiting the top 1% of earners. It's a brazen attempt to enrich donors and special interests at the expense of hard-working Americans. According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, around 50% of the plan's benefits go to the top 5% of taxpayers. The richest 1% alone receive a windfall tax cut worth over $61 billion in 2018. Meanwhile, nearly 30% of middle-class Americans would face a tax increase by 2027. Corporate tax rates would plummet from 35% to 20%, adding over $1 trillion to deficits over a decade with no guarantees employers will use the windfalls to create jobs or raise wages as supporters claim. History shows corporations are far more likely to buy back shares and increase executive compensation. Congress must reject this indefensible giveaway that balloons deficits while failing most Americans.

A news story from The Independent with the title for all their sales, end the defeating silence on Gaza now. The world has turned its gaze away from the renewed assault on Gaza and the blockade that has trapped 2m Palestinians and condemned its children to death by malnutrition. We call upon Britain and its allies to force Israel to end a cruel war that started as a response to the Hamas atrocity of 7 October 2023 but has long forfeited any claim to moral justification. With a photo of a Palestinian family: a mother holding a baby, two young girls, and a young boy.

The U.S. funds genocide. Don’t forget this. There are so many horrific things going on right now, but our country played a role in THIS (and many other atrocities) even before Trump. We are striking for a better country, not to go back to the pre-Trump era. This is a Revolution, not a reaction.

Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.
