On #April5th, a kind elderly woman with intelligent eyes turned to me and said, “All it would take is 1 million Americans to go to Washington DC and make a citizen’s arrest. I’ll do it: Just tell me when.”

The SpaceX fram2 mission that will send humans over the poles for the first time has LAUNCHED! This is relevant to our community since Jannicke Mikkelsen, one of the astronauts on board, will be filming the aurora over the north and south poles!

We have a right to petition the U.S. government. Sign in support of the No Kings Act!
This act would label the President's actions on Jan 6th "unofficial" and reverse his privileges to immunity from the law. Tell Congress America elects no kings: action.aclu.org/send-message...

Tell Congress: America Elects Presidents, Not Kings
The Supreme Court declared that criminal law doesn’t apply when you’re Donald Trump or any other president using the powers of the office. Demand a constitutional amendment now.
