Time to call your electeds:
*Peter Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and any other people involved in the disastrous Signal leak to resign.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act, and any other attempt to rewrite the federal court system.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which will create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters.
* FOR YOUR SENATOR: Tell them Cory Booker is a role model and they need to be blocking everything as well.
* Protests Trump's unlawful deportment and enslavement of innocent Venezuelan immigrants.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump's policies benefit wealthy elites at the expense of everyone else.

His administration includes 13 billionaires, and he is cutting taxes on the rich and corporations while imposing a large consumption tax on the poor and working class.

a statement by 36+ mayors of European cities, incl. #Paris & #Berlin:

"...We, European mayors, condemn in the strongest possible terms the arrest of our colleague Ekrem Imamoğlu, Mayor of #Istanbul, and of local elected representatives in #Turkey.

We denounce his arbitrary imprisonment and... the repeated attacks on fundamental rights and municipal freedoms. These arrests ... mark a new stage in the violation of democratic principles in Turkey..."

Eurocities - Home · Mayors voice support for Ekrem İmamoğlu - EurocitiesThe following statement in support of Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mayor of Istanbul, translated into English, was originally prepared by the city of Paris on the initiative of Mayor Anne Hidalgo: We, European mayors, condemn in the strongest possible terms the arrest of our colleague Ekrem Imamoğlu, Mayor of Istanbul, and of local elected representatives in Turkey.

Before his speech, Mr. Booker said on social media that he was heading to the Senate floor because Mr. Trump and Elon Musk had shown what he called “a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people.” #courage #resistance #MoralCourage #democracy

My participation on #Facebook is now over. I can no longer be involved in or support media platforms that contribute to undermining #democracy.
Knowing that there are many good forces here, I want to say at the same time: thank you all friends, we will meet in other contexts. As long as you're here - do your best to stand up for good!
