Prohibition has failed! Our Justice System is overloaded, our sick are dying families/communities destroyed, farms and factories empty, 99.9% of all hemp is imported, , our environment is suffering but our prisons are full. For decades Congress has failed to act. It is time for the people to stand up and #EndTheMadness

These Amerasians have US father's and are Americans. They need a pathway to US citizenship.

Hester Jackson-McCray made history in November 2019 with her 14-point win over a Republican incumbent. Jackson-McCray will be the first African-American to represent DeSoto County in the Mississippi state legislature and she will be only the third African-American to represent a majority white legislative district since Reconstruction. That history is at risk of being erased thanks to Republican efforts to overturn the election results. Ashley Henley, the GOP incumbent defeated by Jackson-McCray, has made unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and is asking the Republican-controlled Mississippi House of Representatives to vacate the election results and install her instead. This is straight out of the GOP playbook. Suburban DeSoto county is changing and, like many suburbs around the country, it’s turning more progressive. Hillary Clinton beat Trump there in 2016, Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Espy beat Republican Cindy Hyde Smith in 2018, and in 2019 voters chose Democrat Attorney General Jim Hood in the governor's race. Instead of competing fairly, Mississippi Republicans are attempting to overturn the will of the voters in a state with a notorious history of voter suppression. We can’t let them win.

Because my family was taken from me due to an argument that I had with a CPS worker who was not even my worker I didn't even have a open CPS case and placed my children in foster care and not with relatives of mine and it's more families out there that are losing their children due to false information given by CPS workers they have the power to say whatever they want and do whatever they want when it comes to families and their children especially if you are a low-income family and that's not right

The Senate is poised to fail on the best opportunity of the year to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in the genocidal Saudi war in Yemen, by passing a Pentagon funding bill that doesn't end the war. Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna and Elizabeth Warren are OPPOSED. https://twitter.com/justfp/status/1206375503248019461 Urge the Senate to vote NO on the Trump NDAA that doesn't end the Yemen war.

My dogs are my children, they are my ohana, and they mean the whole world to me. We have formed an unbreakable bond and the pack has not been the same since we were all separated. The Kona Humane Society broke the law, lied to police, and lied to me about my dogs whereabouts. They intentionally tried to keep my dogs from me, despite them being registered as emotional support animals that I have had for the last 13 years of my life. Every day gets harder to live without Keebler, Ayda, and Remedy and we all need to be reunited as soon as possible! Please sign my petition and share it with your friends.

For the leader of the Senate to openly and arrogantly claim that he, as a juror, has no problem collaborating directly with a defendant's counsel is not only an abuse of power in itself, it completely violates his own oath of office to defend the separation of powers as defined in the articles of the Constitution of the United States. Congress has its own independent authority. It does not work for the White House, nor does it belong to any particular political party. Supporting this notion is exactly the reason why three separate branches of government were established by our Founding Fathers and why they must maintain oversight of one another. If the White House can simply refuse oversight and obstruct Congress, while those within Congress openly allow this simply due to party loyalty, then We, as a republic, are doomed to become that from which our nation's founders fought to liberate us. If our congressional leaders refuse to defend the Constitution, then We, the American People, regardless of our political affiliations, must do so ourselves. You can watch Sen. McConnell speak about his planned total coordination with the White House counsel in his own words here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbsLMNLo9Kc

After 9/11, the CIA detained and tortured — including beating, chaining to the ceiling, locking in coffins, and waterboarding detainees to the brink of death — over 100 Muslim men in “black site” prisons around the world. That period is a stain on human history. While Congress authorized a full investigation, the resulting full, unredacted 7,000-page CIA Torture Report has yet to be released to the public. Until we know the truth, there is no way to achieve full justice for survivors and victims of CIA torture and detention. Worse, there is also no way to make sure it will never happen again. Will you urge your members of Congress to release the unredacted CIA Torture Report to the public now?

Donald Trump Jr. recently went to Mongolia with taxpayer-funded support after purchasing a hunting trip at a charity auction to benefit the National Rifle Association (NRA). While in Mongolia, Trump Jr. shot and killed an argali sheep that is listed and protected as "Threatened" in Mongolia under the Endangered Species Act. Trump Jr. did not reportedly have a permit to kill the imperiled argali sheep at the time of his hunt, and was granted one retroactively after he had left the country. The argali sheep is threatened by agriculture and energy production and is listed as "Decreasing" globally by the IUCN Red List. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service considers whether local, national, and multi-national laws and regulations are followed and whether the killing of animals is beneficial to conservation as a part of the importation process. As Mr. Trump only received permit for his trophy hunting after he had killed the imperiled species and was likely only able to do so because of his father's position, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service should investigate to determine if it should reject any forthcoming import request from Mr. Trump and ascertain whether he has already imported the carcass in violation of U.S. law.

Americans living overseas are subject to a separate and substantially more punitive tax code than stateside Americans. This is grossly unfair. Furthermore, the United States government has demonstrated little to no concern about the well-being of its overseas diaspora. As a result, many false narratives from many sources have surfaced that mischaracterize the real situation on the ground. H.R. 4363 should layout what is really going on and set the record straight. It is vitally important Congress act on this legislation to safeguard the lives of millions of Americans abroad from financial ruin.

We need to focus on providing more accessible food relief for Colorado State University students experiencing food insecurity. According to a CSU survey conducted in the Fall of 2013, approximately 10% of students at Colorado State University experience food insecurity. According to a 2019 petition by social work students, 3 out of 10 students face food insecurity at CSU. Rams take care of Rams. Our community is committed to solving food insecurity. This year's Giving Tuesday, Colorado State University raised more than $100,000 for Rams Against Hunger, providing 13,352 meals for students. Our ASCSU administration is also committed to solving this crisis. We have pocket pantries that provide free food across campus. We have the mobile food pantry that comes to campus once a month for two hours where students can get up to 20 pounds of food. But the average person consumes an estimated 4 pounds of food a day. This is not enough. At this rate, students who are relying solely on the mobile food pantry do not have enough food to last a week, let alone a month. It takes more than an hour for a student to travel from the CSU campus to the Larimer County Food Bank using the city bus system. Oftentimes, students do not have the during the weekday to take an over two-hour journey for free healthy food. RamRide only runs in the late evenings Thursday-Saturday when the food bank is closed. RamRide does not have enough funding or volunteers to extend its hours so that they may bring students to the food bank. Our students without a car also struggle with carrying the weight of groceries long distances. Imagine having to carry over 20 pounds of food while walking back to your home, riding your bike, or taking the city busses. Our students need better transportation for food. Our commitment to solving this problem can continue. We need to call on the University to extend their support of our food-insecure students by funding RamRide so that everyone has increased access to healthy food. We must further show that Rams do take care of Rams.
