Can't make it downtown in person? No problem! You can contact your two senators and your representative in Washington by sending one email that reaches all three. Just let democracy.io do the legwork for you. Simply enter your address to get the names of your senators and your representative.
Please get the word out that in addition to all the pain caused by the trump administration's cruel DOGE cuts and hateful acts against immigrants, they are also destroying science and the spark of inspiration for the next generation of explorers #NASANeedsHelp #Science #STEM #ScienceSavesLives #NASA

This is what sustained, peaceful resistance and public pressure can do.
Public scrutiny works.
Filming ICE creates accountability.
This administration does not want another Minneapolis.
Keep the pressure up.
May Renée Good and Alex Pretti rest in power.🕊️

ICE is weaponizing vehicles - ramming cars and attacking people who pose no threat.
The danger in our communities is ICE. Full stop.
They’re shooting people and using cars as weapons.
Call your Senators: DO NOT FUND ICE.

I knew this would happen if Trump got a second term.
The secret police start with the most vulnerable, like immigrants, LGBTQ people, religious minorities.
But it never stops there.

Maduro is a dictator and Venezuelans have fled for decades. But Trump’s actions aren’t about human rights or election results. They’re about control of Venezuela’s oil. He just proved he’ll use blatant lies as a pretext to seize leaders who won’t comply.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

My mom’s naturalization was a family event - dressed up, photos & lunch to celebrate.
Days later my grandma-in-law gave her apple pie with a card: “Now you’re as American as apple pie.”
If you’re not Native, you’re from immigrants. Punishing law-abiding immigrants is just white supremacy.

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.
“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

- registered to vote with no party affiliation
- did not vote in the last 2 general elections, so he's listed as an inactive voter.
