The US is supporting genocide in Gaza. Our government must stop sending money and weapons to Israel.
DOGE, I found some savings for you. Cancel all contracts with Israel.

I went to to the Standing Rock protest. It was 100% led by tribal leaders. I didn’t see any signs of Greenpeace whatsoever!
Energy Transfer’s greed has no limit.

🚨BREAKING🚨

The trial verdict is in. A jury in the Morton County courthouse found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the United States liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit.

Thank you, Senator Murray!
I’m not surprised that you are still our fierce mom in tennis shoes!

Thank you, Nancy Pelosi! I apologize that I’m surprised.

I voted NO on House Republicans' slush funds bill—cloture, final passage, all of it—but it just passed.

To my constituents, your voice matters. Keep speaking out.

So, shoulders up. Keep the faith. We stand strong, and we do NOT stand down.

Karen’s FB post is worth a read. Thank you to our dedicated community members for all they do to support the folks in the ICE detention canter in Tacoma. #laresistancia

My friend Karen Hery was one of the folks incarcerated comics artist Becky Burke stayed with earlier in her visit to the US, and she went to visit Becky at the ICE detention center in Tacoma today. This is what she learned. Please share. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bh9vbXn5C/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I hope Becky Burke gets to go home to the UK soon. I also hope that she will spread the stories of other detainees she has met and the truth about conditions in the ICE facility in Tacoma.

It looks like the British government is working on the Becky Burke case. She has asked for voluntary departure, but the USA is being really slow to grant it, so she's stuck in ICE detention.

Becky Burke was on what was supposed to be a "life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America" but that turned into a nightmare after Canada refused her entry and she was subsequently detained by ICE.

All of my life, I have successfully been able to resist hating a person. 2025 has ended my effort. I hate my adopted teenager’s first mother, who cares nothing of my daughter’s mental health. I hate Dump, Muskrat, Putin, and everyone involved in Project 2025 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇨🇦🇬🇱 🇵🇦 🌍☮️
