- Mourning MAGA -

In place of a protest on 8/16, we will be holding a candlelight vigil to mourn the family and friends we have lost because of their wayward beliefs, to mourn those taken by ICE, AND to mourn the lives lost in Palestine. Join us.

8/16 @ 7-8:30pm

Indiana, you've blown us away AGAIN. We did not expect the numbers that we saw - 15k in Indy is the current estimate. 5k in Fort Wayne. 4k in Lafayette.

We want to see your pictures and attendance estimates!

📣 LEGISLATIVE RECAP MAY 28-JUNE 5

#LegislativeRecap #CivilRights #ImmigrationPolicy #TrumpAdministration #GunReform #SCOTUS #ReligiousExemptions #IndianaPolitics #RefugeeRights #VisaBan #DEI #CivicEngagement #PolicyWatch

Shout-out to Alice for the new graphics and DeOnyae for the content 💙
🇺🇸 Legislative Recap – May 28–June 5, 2025 🧾 Congress - New Bills & Resolutions Introduced Congress introduced a mix of policy bills and symbolic resolutions amid ongoing debates about immigration, gun safety, and national identity. 📌 Key Measures • 🔫 Gun Industry Accountability – Bills aim to repeal PLCAA and allow lawsuits against firearm manufacturers when guns are used in crimes. • 🕍 Antisemitic Violence Condemned – House resolution denounces terrorist attack on Boulder synagogue. • 🐟 Forage Fish Protection Act – Would improve regulation of small fish species vital to marine ecosystems. • 🇺🇸 Patriotism Month – Resolution seeks to designate July as “American Patriotism Month,” reflecting a growing wave of nationalist sentiment. ⛔️ Civil Rights Watch While mostly symbolic, these proposals contribute to a broader narrative about government priorities: security over equity, nationalism over inclusion. 🖋️ Executive Orders – President Trump • ❌ Travel Ban Expanded – New EO bars entry from 12 countries and adds restrictions for seven more, reviving a version of the 2017 ban. • 🛂 Harvard Student Visas Blocked – All foreign student visas for Harvard suspended amid Trump’s attacks on “liberal indoctrination.” • 💰 New Visa Fees Proposed – $1,000 expedited interview fee introduced for foreign applicants. • 🚫 Refugee Aid Reallocated – $250M shifted from resettlement programs to fund “voluntary deportations.” ⛔️ Rights Concerns These policies heighten xenophobic rhetoric and severely restrict pathways for immigrants, students, and asylum seekers, especially those from Muslim-majority countries. 🏛️ Indiana Update – Gov. Mike Braun No new executive orders since May 21. Governor Braun continues to promote healthcare price transparency and compliance with federal immigration restrictions. ⚖️ Supreme Court Decisions 🏛️ Religious Tax Exemption (Catholic Charities v. Wisconsin) SCOTUS unanimously sided with a Catholic nonprofit, ruling Wisconsin unfairly denied a religious tax exemption. Critics warn this sets precedent for more religious carve-outs from public obligations. 🔫 Mexico v. U.S. Gunmakers SCOTUS tossed out Mexico’s $10B lawsuit against American gun companies. The Court ruled Mexico failed to prove manufacturers knowingly fueled illegal trafficking. ⚖️ Ames v. Ohio (Reverse Discrimination Case) Unanimous decision allowing a white straight woman to sue under Title VII for alleged “reverse discrimination.” Some civil rights groups caution this could open the door to more challenges against DEI programs. 💬 Want a deeper dive or plain-language breakdown on these rulings or laws? DM (me) anytime. Let’s unpack how power is shifting—one vote, one order, one ruling at a time. #LegislativeRecap #CivilRights #ImmigrationPolicy #TrumpAdministration #GunReform #SCOTUS #ReligiousExemptions #IndianaPolitics #RefugeeRights #VisaBan #DEI #CivicEngagement #PolicyWatch

Text on Flyer: IN50501 Community Picnic: Saturday, May 17th, 12-4 pm; Park at Garfield Park Arts Center; 2432 Conservatory Dr. Indianapolis Description of Flyer: a scene of a picnic on green grass with a light blue sky. A man in a white shirt and blue shorts plays with a brown and white striped beach ball while a fluffy dog runs around him. A woman in a ruffly white dress sits on a red plaid blanket and holds a champagne flute. A man with curly hair, wearing a blue button down and shorts sits next to her on the blanket as he plays guitar.

Donald Trump isn’t just a bad president—he’s a traitor waging war on the American people.

In just 100 days of his second term, he’s:

🚨Dismantled checks and balances and consolidated power to the Executive Branch

🚨Violated Supreme Court orders

🧵#1
"Trump's 1st 100 Days" in blue block text on a black background. There is a red and black TV set in the middle left with an image of Trump and red ! warning signs. 50501 is displayed on the TV set In white letters on a black background on the top third: "Join the People's Movement."
