Can't make it downtown in person? No problem! You can contact your two senators and your representative in Washington by sending one email that reaches all three. Just let democracy.io do the legwork for you. Simply enter your address to get the names of your senators and your representative.
Please get the word out that in addition to all the pain caused by the trump administration's cruel DOGE cuts and hateful acts against immigrants, they are also destroying science and the spark of inspiration for the next generation of explorers #NASANeedsHelp #Science #STEM #ScienceSavesLives #NASA

My mom’s naturalization was a family event - dressed up, photos & lunch to celebrate.
Days later my grandma-in-law gave her apple pie with a card: “Now you’re as American as apple pie.”
If you’re not Native, you’re from immigrants. Punishing law-abiding immigrants is just white supremacy.

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.
“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME - Graham Platner has a Nazi tattoo and claims he got it “drunk in the Marines” and didn’t know what it meant?
He still has it. Still stands by racist, sexist comments. Worked for Blackwater. What else will surface? This is why vetting candidates matters.

What I've found so far about the political affiliation of 22 year old Tyler Robinson, who allegedly confessed to shooting Charlie Kirk:
- registered to vote with no party affiliation
- did not vote in the last 2 general elections, so he's listed as an inactive voter.
