Trump doesn't care that his deployment of the National Guard is dangerous — but the governors deploying these Guard members should.

We're calling on Governors Ivey, Kemp, Landry, Reeves, DeWine, Lee, and Morrisey to recall their Guard members from DC. Email all seven: bit.ly/seven-governors

I just called my representative with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Speaker Johnson has stalled long enough. Tell your rep it's time to swear in Adelita Grijalva of Arizona. Stop trying to protect Trump from the release of the Epstein files.

You can make a difference. You don't have to be wealthy or save the world on your own. It could be that tomorrow you make your coffee at home and pack your lunch, then you donate that $20 to feed people in Gaza. If you don't have that to spare, share this message so it finds someone else.
José Andrés is in Gaza and Israel – calling for a dramatic increase in aid to Palestinians, the release of Israeli hostages, and an end to the war. He met with WCK teams at one of our Gaza Field Kitchens, a bakery, and two facilities in the Deir al-Balah area. (1/3)

If you haven't yet been to a protest, please find one local to you and get out there this Saturday. Trump says we're not allowed to protest, threatened us with violence. Protest is our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT and the most powerful thing you can do to protect it is to claim it.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

#Postcrossing mail always brightens my day. Today I received two #postcards - one from Russia and one from Canada. The Canadian postcrosser sent me a Beatles postcard. (Love!) The Russian one was in an envelope with huge stamps. Never seen anything like it. #philately

I don't even know what to do at this point. How do you fight this? Democrats are vastly outnumbered in WV Legislature and the Republicans are destroying everything. Some days I'm too tired to feel angry. It's just sadness. 💔😔
