You don’t have to send a long email to your representatives to get through to them. In fact, brevity is the answer.
Can you write to one of your representatives today? Especially if you have a Republican Rep. Take a stand today. And don’t waste much time on them. Be the opposition.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.
With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

There’s a lot of confusion over Biden’s #era announcement and what it actually means—including whether action from the National Archivist is needed. One interesting take I just got is that Biden has actually usurped the archivist and given the required notice to the states himself. So it’s done.
