Indigenous communities and allies have long maintained that at Wounded Knee in 1890, U.S. soldiers didn’t fight a battle — they carried out a massacre. One hundred years later, Congress apologized to the descendants of the hundreds killed at Wounded Knee, but even today, 19 soldiers who participated in the atrocity are commended with the highest U.S. military award: the Medal of Honor. For a moment, it seemed a sliver of justice might finally be within reach and the medals would be revoked. In 2022, after decades of fervent organizing and advocacy, Congress and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin began reviewing whether the medals should be rescinded. Earlier this year, Trump’s War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, slammed that door shut: “We’re making it clear [the soldiers] deserve those medals. This decision is now final.” But Hegseth’s wrong — he doesn’t have the final say. Congress can rescind the medals by passing Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jill Tokuda’s Remove the Stain Act (S.1915, H.R.3609). Public pressure is a surefire way that we’ll force lawmakers to act against a misguided Defense Secretary like Pete Hegseth. Please speak out now.

Edgecombe County Manager Eric Evans said in a Nov. 12 interview with the Rocky Mount Telegram that Energy Storage Solutions expects “about 500 jobs” to be created by the project; in Data Center Knowledge, Shaffer said the development will “support more than 1,000 employees.” Evans also stated the sale will be 122 acres, while Shaffer said in Data Center Knowledge that the project will cover 300 acres.  The community group filed a public record request with the Edgecombe County attorney’s office Thursday for copies of the latest version of the project proposal to verify these unconfirmed latest numbers. Lack of information about jobs – how many will actually be created, whether these jobs will be permanent facility-based jobs or temporary construction jobs, and whether Edgecombe County residents will be prioritized in recruiting – is one of many major unknowns that have led activists to oppose of the county’s sale of the land to the developer. Kingsboro/Bulluck community resident and organizer Janice Bulluck said of the upcoming Dec. 1 vote, “I would hope the County Commissioners consider their moral obligation to their constituents with noise pollution, water usage and pollution, and other unknowns.” “In the long term, this is not going to be in the best interest for the residents,” Bulluck said.

This petition aims to bring islamophobic harrassment and attacks to the attention of the University of South Florida administration. They need to speak up about such harrassment, and make it clear that this kind of violence will not be tolerated on campus. They also need to make sure that students feel safe and secure on campus so that they are able to excel and succeed in their studies.

“This campaign is about more than records. It is about who we choose to protect in this country — and who we leave behind. For decades, the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein were denied the most basic promises America makes to its children: safety, truth, and justice. These women were forced to watch their own trauma become political ammunition, media spectacle, or something to be ignored because too many powerful people were implicated. When a nation fails to protect its most vulnerable, it betrays its own oath. Releasing the remaining records, within the law, matters because: 1. Justice cannot be selective. If justice bends for wealth, power, and influence, then there is no justice at all. What happens in this case sends a message to every girl in America about what her life is worth. 2. Silence has protected predators for far too long. Many individuals connected to Epstein’s abuse are still free, unexamined, and able to continue harming others. Transparency is the first step toward stopping cycles of exploitation. 3. The survivors deserve the truth they were denied. They carried their trauma alone. They lived through a system that failed to protect them. They watched a man who hurt them move through the world with privilege. The least this nation can offer is honesty. 4. Our children are watching. Every day these records remain sealed teaches girls that their safety and truth are negotiable. That is a generational wound. And America cannot allow another generation to inherit that message. 5. Democracy depends on trust in accountability. A society that prioritizes protecting the powerful over the vulnerable erodes the foundation of democracy. Transparency is not optional — it is a patriotic duty. 6. Because America made a promise. Liberty and Justice for All is not a slogan. It is an oath.”

Thousands of National Guard troops have already been deployed to cities across the country — where Trump has ordered them to do everything from “protecting” Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities to assisting law enforcement efforts. Communities are on edge and people are scared. No matter, Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and mobilize even more troops against civilians.  No matter which way you cut it, it’s NOT what our cities wanted or asked for. It’s NOT what our servicemembers signed up for. And, it’s NOT making anyone, anywhere, any safer. Every governor in the country now faces the same choice: Push back against these domestic deployments, or allow the Trump takeover to continue. We’re not leaving it up to them, which is why we’re driving letters to governors, letting them know where we, the people, stand.

Trump wants you to foot the bill for his scandals. He’s demanding $230 million in taxpayer money from the Department of Justice (DOJ) after being investigated for alleged election interference and mishandling of classified files – claiming he’s the victim and that we owe him for trying to hold him accountable. [1] You read that right: $230,000,000. That’s hundreds of millions of dollars that should be going to schools, healthcare, and working families – not lining Trump’s pockets. In Trump’s own words, “it sort of looks bad.” [2] We agree. Even worse, the decision would come from Trump’s own political appointees inside the DOJ [3] – many of whom were his personal lawyers previously. If they sign off on this, Trump could quietly funnel taxpayer money straight to himself. It’s an open invitation to corruption – telling every powerful politician they can demand payouts just for being investigated. We need your help to stop this scheme in its tracks. SIGN THE PETITION: We won’t stand by while Trump raids our pockets. Tell Trump’s loyalists to recuse themselves – and tell Congress to stop this grift for good >> [1] https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-doj-compensation-millions-b2849569.html [2] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/us/politics/trump-justice-department-compensation.html [3] Ibid.

When we sold Ben & Jerry’s to Unilever in 2000, the corporation set up an independent board so Ben & Jerry’s could continue its political statements and social justice work without corporate interference. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. It’s no surprise that all of this is happening at a time when our country’s current administration is attacking Black and brown communities, civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community.  Sticking up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important—and yet Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It’s easy to stand up and speak out when there’s nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose. And we can do something about it.

Immigration is at the forefront of current events.  The constant change in our political environment has created an atmosphere of fear based on the lack of knowledge about the legitimacy of identifying ICE agents.  Now there are a few concerns with the issue at hand: 1. Although it was a false claim of ICE agents, we do not know for sure who is and who isn't ICE agents, and they have been terrorizing citizens and immigrants during this administration.   Therefore, erring on the side of safety was the best course of action to protect my constituents. 2.  Contrary to the statements of Pope Leo XIV and Archbishop Grob, as recently as October 5th, 2025 at the Jubilee of Migrants and the Jubilee of Missions, Catholic Memorial chose to terminate Alderman Rico Camacho, disregarding the Catholic doctrine that has been set forth 3.  Brian Dorrow, Ceo at SRU (Secure Resources Unlimited) and husband of elected official and sitting judge Jennifer Dorrow, informed Alderman Rico Camacho that he would "escalate" the situation in a phone conversation regarding the post and subsequent apology. Over a situation that created minimal risk to his employees, per his statements to The Waukesha Freeman. 4. The post Alderman Camacho made was as a private citizen as the City Attorney verified with his office.   5. It was based on a public concern due to the political climate on immigration in the United States; especially, since the violence is in Chicago which is near to the city.  Which causes concern again about retaliating based on a whi 6. Alderman Camacho is unaware of how the school was materially disrupted due to the Facebook post.

The NBA’s partnership with Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates stands in direct contradiction to the league’s values of social justice and equality. The UAE has been accused of funding and arming forces responsible for the genocide in Sudan. Fans are calling on the NBA to end this deal immediately and stand with the people of Sudan.

The absolute last thing we should be doing is removing the guardrails that limit Trump’s ability to unleash nuclear war.  But that’s exactly what will happen on February 5, 2026, if the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is allowed to expire.  New START, the latest version of a treaty dating back to 1991, limits both the U.S. AND Russian nuclear arsenals. That means for the first time in decades, both countries could soon build and deploy as many nukes as they want — no questions asked. The clock is ticking, so we’re turning our sights to Capitol Hill — where legislation has been introduced in both chambers of Congress calling for continued arms control agreements between the United States and Russia. Today, we need you to join us in speaking out to make sure H.Res.100/S.Res.61 and H.Res.317 are a priority for lawmakers and are passed before the last thread of global arms control expires. 

People should join because words can only get something so far. Your voice is the strongest thing you can use. Stop wasting time arguing with others. You’re pitting each other against each other. Use your voice to incitereal change-it’s possible.
