If you want to help blunt the impact of the Trump regime, and you don't have time but you do have a little money, here are two cheap but high-impact things I do:

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Called DC office of Rep Russell Fry (R-SC7) this morning - told his staffer that HR 1 will build a system of concentration camps while taking away food and health care from millions of Americans. So angry, near tears. Staffer said to "have a wonderful day" CALL YOUR REPS TODAY

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

We’re calling for millions of people in the streets to divert attention away, and to show America & the world—where the real power lies: with the people. #NoKings
