Los Angeles, it's time to divest from Wells Fargo. Seattle just removed $3 billion from Wells Fargo in response to their financing of the Dakota Access Pipeline and opening fake bank accounts. It's time to put our city's money into a trustworthy and ethical bank.

False news and more recently "alternative facts" are poisoning the body politic in the US. A credible, independent rating of major news outlets (print, radio and TV/cable/internet broadcast) according to standards of journalistic excellence may drive such businesses to improve performance in pursuit of better ratings.

Costco has a deserved reputation for treating its employees well, and for being a socially responsible organization. I hope that Costco can persuade Citigroup to divest from the North Dakota Pipe Line which is a symbol of Native oppression, environmental recklessness and if completed will fuel Climate catastrophe. If not offer an alternative to the Citigroup credit card.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated a Certified Humane, cage-free egg farm in California that supplies eggs to Safeway. The investigators found a gruesome pile of dozens of dead hens left to rot on the barn floor. Facility records indicate that hundreds of birds were dying each day, including many from “piling,” a phenomenon where birds crush each other to death due to intense confinement and stress. Other birds had been so badly pecked at that they had lost all their feathers. During the investigation, DxE rescued a hen and named her Scarlett. Scarlett was defeathered and had eye trauma from being confined in the farm, but with veterinary care and a peaceful home at a sanctuary, she recovered. Watch her story at www.crushedatsafeway.com. Safeway markets their eggs as humane despite allowing birds to languish and die in cruel and unnatural conditions. Sign the petition, and ask Safeway to stop exploiting hens.

Chemical-intensive industrial agriculture is killing off pollinators, polluting our drinking water and causing soil to disappear so fast it could be gone in decades. The USDA must confront climate change and help farmers adopt the regenerative organic farming and grazing practices that create resilience in the face of droughts and floods. Trump’s Monsanto-funded, climate-denying USDA pick, Sonny Perdue, is the wrong choice. Learn more at OrganicConsumers.org and RegenerationInternational.org.

For too long Spotify has limited us premium paying customers to listening to only 3,333 songs offline. If we are paying them for the premium subscription to listen to songs offline they should not be limiting us to how many songs we can listen to offline. Us premium subscribers have complained far too long to deaf ears at Spotify and its time to stand and take action against Spotify and tell them we want our voices heard and we deserve better.

Trump is in violation of twitter's policy, and we request that twitter no longer allows Trump to use his account as a bully pulpit in order to cyber bully.

This was evaded and promised during the election and now we are being told that nobody cares. We care.

Kellyanne Conway has said the public doesn't care about Trump's taxes. That is not true! Americans need to know what we are dealing with.

This Constitutional Amendment shall, by its adoption, repeal all laws which provide healthcare and retirement benefits specific to all members of the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and their staff. This Amendment shall also bar all future self-dealing of special benefits prescribed by new laws for the benefit of members of the U.S. Congress, their families and their staff.

With Republicans controlling the Presidency and both houses of Congress, reform proposals must be bipartisan to have any hope of success in Washington. Progressive Democrats may not have many Republican allies on some domestic issues, but for cutting the bloated Pentagon-industrial complex, we have potential Republican allies in the House Liberty Caucus. Of 40 Republicans who voted to stop the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia, over half were members of the House Liberty Caucus. [1] President Trump has called out Lockheed-Martin's F-35 warplane as a huge rip-off of our tax dollars. But jawboning Lockheed-Martin down on a warplane that doesn't work and we don't need anyway would only result in a slightly smaller ripoff. Congress should protect our tax dollars by shutting down the F-35 taxpayer ripoff immediately. The F-35 may never be ready for combat [2], and Pentagon brass are lying when they say there is no alternative. [3,4,5] The Congressional Budget Office says one modest proposal for killing the F-35 - buying different planes, but not fewer planes - would save taxpayers more than $20 billion over a decade. [6] Proposals to shut down the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, which would likely harm renewable energy systems in rural areas, would save $2 billion a year - roughly the same amount. [7] Urge Congressional Progressive Caucus leaders like Keith Ellison and House Liberty Caucus leaders like Justin Amash to work together to kill the F-35 by signing our petition.
