There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Religious freedom explained. Sadly, many evangelical Christians seek to impose their beliefs on everyone in the USA. It's clear that Christian Nationalism is both a threat to democracy and the human rights and personal freedoms of all Americans. #USPolitics #ReligiousFreedom #religion #democracy

So, it takes about 3.5% of a population to turn the tide of authoritarianism.
We had roughly 2% for #NoKingsDay
We need another approx 5 million more people to join the fight for Democracy.
WHO WILL JOIN US?
*No government has withstood 3.5% actively mobilizing against it in non-violent protests.*

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

The idea that the people we've lost are up there—still, shining, watching—is empowering. It doesn't matter where life takes you. Whether you fall, fly, or simply stand still: those stars are always there. They may be far away, but never out of reach.

Medicare telehealth is bipartisan. It's wildly popular. But year after year, Congress has refused to permanently fund it—which could have protected it from the shutdown.
Another shutdown casualty: Medicare telehealth coverage
It's got bipartisan support—and millions of Americans need it. But Congress keeps failing to lock in telehealth funding.
