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.

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. 

In the dead of night, armed federal agents in military fatigues raided a Chicago apartment building, breaking down doors and pulling hundreds of people — many of them children — from their homes, where agents detained them, zip-tied, for hours. Across the city, agents have been indiscriminately teargassing crowds of people, despite court orders. This is the horrifying reality of Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE). These military-style raids aren’t making our communities safer. Families are afraid to go outside, with increased reports of people keeping their kids out of school, skipping medical appointments, and staying home from work. Some members of Congress are already calling for an end to ICE’s reign of terror and introducing legislation to protect immigrants. But we need to build and strengthen a majority of lawmakers willing to take action in response to the horrors we’re witnessing to end these raids and keep people safe. The most effective way to do that? A massive wave of public pressure from constituents like you.  

LA loves the Dodgers!  With the World Series headed to the City of Angels, we need to make sure the Dodgers' owner, Mark Walter, loves ALL Angelenos back. 40% of Dodger fans are Latino - the fans pay for seats, for concessions, for gear to show our love for our city and our team.  We want what Mr. Walter wants - to go all the way! What we don’t want is for Mr. Walter to have anything to do with masked agents kidnapping our families and neighbors off the street. Dodgers and ICE don’t mix.  In addition to owning the LA Dodgers, Mark Walter is CEO of Guggenheim Partners, a huge corporation that invests more than $345 billion for other big corporations, wealthy individuals, and pension funds. Guggenheim Partners invests in GEO Group, one of the largest operators of ICE jails. A GEO Group subsidiary, GTI, is ICE’s largest transportation provider, projecting that deportation flights will generate $40 to $50 million in new revenue.  There’s really no need to. On the MLB website Mark Walter is called “an investor, conservationist, and social-justice advocate.” Mark, stand with your loyal fans and drop GEO Group! Go Blue! ¡L.A. ama a Los Doyers! Ya que la Serie Mundial vendrá a Los Ángeles, es importante que el dueño de los Dodgers, Mark Walter, apoyen a TODOS los Angelenos también y a nuestras comunidades. El 40% de los fans son latinos - pagamos por los boletos, la comida y bebidas, y compramos y  portamos con orgullo la mercancía. Al igual que el Sr. Walter, queremos lo mismo– ¡ganar todo! Lo que NO queremos es que el Sr. Walter este asociado con los agentes de ICE que secuestran a nuestros vecinos y familiares. ¡Los Dodgers y el ICE no se mezclan! Además de ser propietario de los L.A. Dodgers, Mark Walter es el director ejecutivo de Guggenheim Partners, una corporación enorme que invierte más de 345 mil millones de dólares en otras corporaciones grandes, individuos ricos y fondos de pensiones. Guggenheim Partners invierte en GEO Group, uno de los operadores más grandes de las cárceles de ICE. Un subsidiario de GEO Group, GTI, opera los vuelos de deportación de ICE. No es necesario. En el sitio de web de la MLB, Mark Walter se describe como "inversionista, conservacionista y defensor de la justicia social". ¡Mark, apoya a tus seguidores fieles y deja de lado a GEO Group! ¡Vamos Dodgers!  ¡Exigimos que Mark corte con el GEO Group!  ¡ALTO al apoyo a ICE!

Across the country and here in Oregon, immigrants are being torn from their families and locked in detention centers where they face inhumane conditions, lack of food, medical care, and basic dignity. These cages aren’t about safety; they're about control, profit, and criminalizing our communities. We demand the immediate release of Daniel, a loved and valued member of our community, and an end to the cruel and unjust system that continues to detain immigrants across the state. Immigrants are the backbone of Oregon. They are our teachers, healthcare workers, caregivers, and essential workers contributing millions to our economy and enriching every part of our society. This isn’t just about one person. It’s about dignity, justice, and freedom for all. This demand is backed by a growing coalition of organizations that stand united in calling for Daniel’s immediate release and an end to inhumane immigrant detention: Organizations  • Latinos Unidos Siempre (LUS) • La Resistencia  • American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) • Centro de servicios para campesinos  • PCUN • Capaces • International migrants alliance (IMA) These groups represent communities across Oregon and beyond, including immigrant rights advocates, faith leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, and human rights defenders.

This petition is important in order to get the school to start taking action by   1.  Hosting assemblies or informational sessions to educate students and families on their rights and what to do in case of an emergency. 2.  Creating safe spaces on campus for students who feel anxious, unsafe, or need support. 3.  Providing online learning options (Zoom or Google Meet) for students whose families are afraid to send them to school. 4.  Issuing a public statement of solidarity affirming that Reavis is a safe and welcoming place for all students and families, regardless of immigration status.

❤️ Why this is important Because rape is violence — not a mistake, not a “youthful” act. In Stillwater, a young man accused of raping and assaulting multiple women was granted youthful-offender status, a classification meant for minor crimes, not premeditated sexual violence. That decision sends a devastating message to every survivor: that age, privilege, or connections can outweigh accountability. Survivors already battle shame, silence, and disbelief. When the justice system minimizes their trauma, it tells offenders they can harm again without facing full consequences. This isn’t just one case — it’s a dangerous precedent that will echo through future courtrooms unless we act now. We are demanding change because justice should protect the vulnerable, not the violent. The Payne County DA and Oklahoma lawmakers must close the loophole that lets violent sexual predators hide behind “youthful-offender” leniency — before it happens again.

In 1890, U.S. troops descended on the Lakota people at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. What followed was not a “battle” — it was a massacre. An estimated 250 people were slaughtered. More than half were women and children. Many were killed as they fled, gunned down long after officers had ordered soldiers to stop shooting. Shamefully, 19 soldiers involved in this atrocity were awarded the nation’s highest honor for valor, the Medal of Honor. Congress and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin worked together to review whether to rescind those medals, in light of the soldiers’ horrific actions. Now, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just doubled down on honoring the perpetrators of the massacre. “We’re making it clear [the soldiers] deserve those medals. This decision is now final, and their place in our nation’s history is no longer up for debate.” Unfortunately for Hegseth, that’s not entirely up to him. Congress has the power to act where the Pentagon refuses — by legislating the rescission of medals awarded to soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee massacre. We’re going to push them to do just that by passing the Remove the Stain Act introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren (S.1915) and Representative Jill Tokuda (H.R.3609). With enough people speaking out, we can push Congress to take this decision out of Hegseth’s hands and finally deliver justice.
