Inventing the app isn’t the hard part. It could even be an objectively easy-to-use app with an accessible interface. Even then, the problem is getting everyone to use it. I would totally be down for a wacky friends Signal chat group.

Avelo Airlines profits off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive (often illegal) deportation flights. We’re organizing to ground “ICE Air” and make Avelo’s deportation flights too costly to continue: www.groundavelo.org?utm_source=b...

call your representatives and tell them to OPPOSE these bills!

Working people across the DC are unified in our demands: we want these federal forces out of our city now! #FreeDC

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Two hand painted cardboard signs. One says Save Democracy. The other sign says Free D.C. and has a DC flag painted at the bottom. Both are painted in red and blue with some white details.

I made signs for yesterday’s rally with Indivisible. Some of the other participants didn’t want to be photographed, so I’ll leave it to your imagination to picture about 40 activists spread on every corner of a busy shopping area, united to #stopthetrumptakeover

What Trump is doing in DC isn't about “law and order.” If he cared about that, he wouldn’t have gutted DC’s ability to fund its own police force.

This is about Trump playing king at the expense of DC's 700K residents. The American people must stand against this abuse of power.

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.

This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I’m a 5th generation farmer and a veteran. I believe in hard work, service, and telling the truth. Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in conspiracy theories, chaos, and cable news clips. Let’s give GA-14 the serious, steady leadership it deserves. Please spread the word.

Keep Going! This is a bad proposal for America, and a bad deal for Americans.

United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121

Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that:

-Cuts $900B from Medicaid
-Kicks millions off their health care
-Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans
-Adds $4.2T to the deficit

All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

Throughout Pride Month, these throwable bricks have sat at the base of our lectern in honor of the Stonewall Riots. These bricks, lovingly made by Lindasusan Ulrich ( @lvulrich ), remind us of the 6 days of riots that sparked a new beginning to the fight for equal rights for the Queer Community.

Tell Your Senators:
Stop Criminalizing and Attacking Immigrants

Unitarian Universalists uphold the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

The Budget Reconciliation Bill does the opposite.

This is not about fiscal responsibility—it’s a moral reckoning.

Faith groups say House Republicans' probe into immigration work violates their religious freedom (RNS) — The Homeland Security Committee named the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Charities USA among those under scrutiny.

“This administration continues to attempt to silence and restrict any religious groups or faith traditions not in lockstep with its radical and unpopular agenda.” -Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social

I just got an email from her press announcing Kate wants to spread hope in these dark times, so she's giving out free eBook copies of Hello, Cruel world...until June 25. I so I thought I'd pass along the link to you all in case any of you needed it.
