Everglades National Park is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone—meaning buildings should be constructed to withstand winds of 180 miles per hour. But the Everglades detention camp is made up of flimsy tents, bunk beds, and chain fences—it’s blatantly unsafe for those being held there. The facility has already flooded once from normal levels of rain.  Beyond endangering human lives, the Everglades detention camp also threatens one of the country’s most fragile ecosystems. Journalists have already struggled to report on the facility because of the swarms of mosquitoes, some of which can carry dangerous diseases. And if industrial mosquito repellents are used, the environmental harm toward the Everglades and its nationally protected land could be staggering. DeSantis and his allies have refused entry to Democratic representatives demanding to exercise their legal duties to conduct oversight because they know how appalling the conditions inside are. The cruel and inhumane environment at Everglades detention camp is by design—it’s exactly what Trump and his cronies want. Sign the petition to expedite the camp’s shutdown and reject any replication of these disastrous conditions at other facilities! 

Because justice begins with accountability—and right now, Phoenix VA Police are bypassing the very systems meant to protect us. By refusing to fingerprint and collect DNA from individuals arrested for violent and serious crimes, VA Police are allowing dangerous suspects to avoid tracking, escape federal charges, and walk away unpunished. These aren’t technical glitches—these are conscious decisions to ignore the law. When federal agencies fail to follow DOJ procedures, sex offenders don’t get entered into the system. Rapists aren’t matched in CODIS. Cold cases stay cold. And violent criminals remain free to offend again. The tools exist. The laws are clear. But Phoenix VA Police are choosing inaction—and that inaction is putting veterans, employees, and the public at risk. If we don’t demand change now, we risk another preventable tragedy—another name in the headlines—because the system failed to act.

Jose Muyet’s case represents a broken system that has affected thousands — especially Black and Latino men — with unjust sentencing, no physical evidence, and coerced testimony. His 30+ year incarceration isn’t just about one man — it’s about a system that too often values punishment over truth, and silence over fairness. Jose's story is important because it shows us that people can change, but the system often refuses to. Despite decades behind bars, Jose has found healing, purpose, and voice through his writing and personal transformation. Freeing Jose isn’t just about ending one injustice — it’s about calling attention to all the others like his, and demanding that New York correct its past mistakes. Because this could be your brother, your son, your neighbor — or even you. If we stay silent, the system never changes. But when we raise our voices together, we show that people care about fairness, about truth, and about second chances. By joining this campaign, you are: • Standing up for someone who has spent 30 years locked away with no evidence • Demanding that the justice system be accountable • Supporting a man who has already done the hard work of transformation • Saying: Redemption is real. Injustice cannot stand. Jose can't fight for his freedom alone. But we can fight with him. Your voice matters. Your signature matters. Your share matters.

This is not just about one meeting or one leader — it’s about preserving the integrity, transparency, and values of the Hawai‘i Republican Party, and beyond. We are calling for accountability, respect for our rules, and protection of every member’s voice, regardless of their opinions or alliances. When leadership disregards the bylaws and parliamentary rules, they are not just silencing opposition — they are undermining the very foundation of our party. This campaign is about making sure: • Every delegate and member is heard • Rules are followed without favoritism, or because there is opposition • Decisions are made through a fair and lawful process • Unity means inclusion, not control If we don’t stand up now, the Party risks becoming a vehicle for personal agendas rather than a force for principled governance. This campaign is our stand to say: Integrity matters. Process matters. Our voice matters. Join us — not just to protest — but to help restore trust, fairness, and proper leadership to the Hawai‘i Republican Party.

Donald J. Trump does not deserve a Nobel Prize because of the havoc he is creating internationally as well as at home.  He is damaging international relations and the standing of the United States through his actions regarding tariffs, his bullying of our neighbors and allies, as well as his administration’s threatening of Ukraine.  His mass deportations of immigrants who are legally pursuing legal status in uncalled for in a democratic country. 

Because sexual harassment has been normalized — and that normalization is dangerous. At the Phoenix VA Police Department, female officers have quietly endured years of inappropriate comments, and power-driven intimidation from those in leadership. What should never be tolerated has instead become expected. A “don’t rock the boat” mentality has taken hold. And for many, silence feels safer than speaking out. 🚨 Female officers have left without ever filing complaints. Others remain, enduring the abuse quietly — not because they accept it, but because they fear retaliation, lost income, destroyed careers, or social exile from the tight-knit culture. 🚨 Some have confided in coworkers. Some have documented it. But few have ever received protection, and fewer still have seen justice. This is not about one bad actor. It’s about a systemic culture that empowers those in rank to humiliate, isolate, and dominate subordinates with no meaningful consequences. When sexual harassment is allowed to become routine, it destroys morale, it drives good officers out, and it tells survivors — men and women alike — that no one is coming to help them. We are raising our voices because this ends when the silence ends. #PhoenixVAPolice #CarlTHaydenVAMC #PVAHCS #PhoenixVAHealthcareSystem #VAHandbook0730 #38CFR1218 #VApoliceMisconduct

Matthew Cardon was shot and killed by police in Peoria, Arizona, on June 5th, 2025. Despite repeated requests from his family and community, authorities have not released all available footage. There are conflicting statements, missing body cam footage, and unanswered questions that demand transparency. We call on local and state leaders to release all footage, open an independent investigation, and ensure this never happens again. Matthew was a son, brother, and friend.His family—and the public—deserve the truth.

When community members protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) raids to protect their neighbors this weekend, they were met with what The New York Times called, “an extraordinary show of force.” “Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition.” This is mass deportation under Trump. Now that he has deployed thousands of National Guard troops along with 700 active duty Marines to crush protests in the Los Angeles area, more violent intimidation and threats to free speech are likely. Troops and tanks don’t belong on LA’s streets, or anywhere. But the horrifying reality is that Trump’s military flex likely won’t be limited to southern California or his DC tank parade — and that’s why we’re reaching out today with an urgent call. This is no time for business as usual. Senators have a crucial role to play in securing an end to the ICE raids and Trump’s violence-first responses. The good news? They’re more likely to do it if they hear from you today.

Public schools should be safe and welcoming for all students, regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, or religious background. By forcing every public school in Texas to display the Ten Commandments, the Texas government is sending a loud and clear message to the many students who don’t practice Christianity: You don’t belong here. This is all part of a coordinated conservative playbook to take control of our schools, undermine public education, and push an extreme Christian nationalist agenda nationwide.

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He was hospitalized for a head injury sustained during his arrest, but the federal government has charged him with with conspiracy to impede an officer. David, a husband and father of two, is also a well-known and beloved community member. From organizing with Justice for Janitors to his decades of work with SEIU, Huerta has been a champion for workers in Los Angeles. In 2014, he was awarded the National Champion of Change from then-President Barack Obama for his advocacy and commitment to fighting for immigrant neighbors. And now, the Trump administration threatens to imprison him.  The Trump administration is trying to silence civil unrest and using workers like David to intimidate everyday people from exercising their fundamental rights. Add your name to show your solidarity with David and the immigrant workers across the country that he was defending.

I am writing to urge you to consider sponsoring and supporting a proposed piece of legislation called Topher’s Law. (Together on Protecting Human Ethical Rights) This bill is designed to reform Missouri’s guardianship laws to ensure that adult wards who are disabled or otherwise under guardianship retain their right to maintain family relationships—without unnecessary court hurdles or isolation imposed by overreaching guardians. Currently, immediate family members often face significant barriers in simply visiting, calling, or taking their loved one on an outing, even with the ward’s full consent. In some cases, families must petition the court just to spend time together—placing an unjust burden on those who should be presumed to act out of love and care. Topher’s Law flips that burden: if a guardian wishes to deny access, they must go to court and prove why it is necessary. This legislation: Centers the ward’s own voice and consent. Provides a court-appointed advocate regardless of the ward’s ability to pay. Protects against unjustified isolation from immediate family. Brings transparency and accountability to guardianship practices. I’ve included a full draft of the proposed law with this letter. I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet with you or your staff to discuss this further. Families across Missouri—and more importantly, the individuals placed under guardianship—deserve protection, dignity, and a law that puts their humanity first

RFK Jr. has spouted reckless conspiracy theories about autism for years—spreading dangerous lies about links between autism and vaccines and calling autism a "preventable disease" that “destroys” lives, which experts say is unfounded and stigmatizing. Most recently, he's made promises to "find the cause" of autism by September of this year. But experts say that the lack of clarity around how data will be collected, shared, maintained, and tested for accuracy raises red flags. Rather than including the communities most impacted by RFK JR.'s proposal, federal health agencies have repeatedly excluded autistic people and those with disabilities from the conversation, deepening a sense of mistrust. We need states to intervene, protecting Americans' medical data and stopping RFK Jr.’s dangerous stigmatization of autistic and disabled people. Add your name!
