Call Script to Urge Congress Members to Defend the Constitution Introduction: "Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [Your City/State]. I am calling to express my deep concern about President Trump's recent actions that undermine the U.S. Constitution." Key Points: "President Trump's executive orders, including the attempt to end birthright citizenship, blatantly violate the 14th Amendment, as affirmed by longstanding Supreme Court precedent135." "His disregard for constitutional principles, such as the emoluments clause and appropriations authority, demonstrates a pattern of undermining our nation's foundational laws24." Request: "I urge you to take all possible steps to hold President Trump accountable and protect the Constitution. This includes supporting lawsuits, legislative actions, and public statements condemning these violations." Closing: "Thank you for your time and for defending our democracy."

Call daily!!?
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.
If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.
This is the Ben & Jerry’s video that has folks talking and MAGA losing their shit!
We need to support @benandjerrys y’all, because we don’t ever want them to “stick to just the ice cream”. 👀

Good morning, BlueSky. My wish for all of you is for these sort of days to return. In the meantime, laugh when you can and show kindness at each and every possibility.
When did being a decent, kind, caring, honest, truthful, loyal, empathetic, respectful human being become so offensive?

A federal judge — nominated to the bench by President Reagan in 1981 — has temporarily blocked Trump's executive order that purports to limit birthright citizenship.
"I can't remember another case where the question presented is as clear as it is here. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."
Senate learns of new allegations against Pete Hegseth:
The Defense Secretary nominee’s former sister-in-law, in an affidavit, said she witnessed his drunken aggression and that his second wife worried about her safety.
When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe.
