Call Illinois State Senator Bryant (217-782-8137) to tell her you support a ban on plastic bags. In her post she proves she is oblivious to the harm caused by plastic waste and the readily available alternative of reusable shopping bags. See Below:

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.

If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.

If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

DOGE is at USPS Headquarters demanding a "presentation". Anything you can do to fight back is desperately needed and greatly appreciated. Call your congressional representatives and senators, join an APWU Protest (A nationwide protest is schedules for March 20th).

I've just been informed me that DOGE is inside the postal service. The CTO is preparing a "presentation" for them. The only presentation those bastards need is a solid ass-beating.

Call your congressional representatives, PLEASE!

In two weeks, the Trump admin abruptly canceled nearly 10,000 global development contracts, upending programs that offer food to children and lactating mothers in Haiti, clean water to tens of thousands in Colombia, etc.

If the rat-fuck Supreme Court overturns Humphrey’s Executer, Trump will indeed be king as far as the law is concerned. SCROTUS has let the country down so many times, I’m not at all hopeful.

Musk calls Social Security a Ponzi scheme.

Trump repeats lies about social security payments to non-existent seniors over & over in his SOTU speech.

Musk forces himself access to our Social Security data.

The Republican Study Committee in Congress recommends raising retirement age.

Questions?
