The Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein files is nothing short of a failure for bringing justice to survivors and an effort to protect powerful predators in the billionaire class.  Bondi has weaponized the Department of Justice to push her political agenda and protect Donald Trump. She wasted resources launching investigations to seek revenge on anyone who sought to prosecute Trump or challenge his agenda—including Jack Smith, New York AG Letitia James, Federal Reserve Lisa Cook, and more. In the recent murders in Minnesota, Bondi has used her power to protect the federal agents involved in killings instead of allowing for full, transparent investigations to take place, despite Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths being ruled as homicides by the medical examiner. We need an Attorney General that is committed to bringing justice for the American people, not weaponizing their power in order to push Trump’s authoritarian agenda. Sign the petition now to demand that Pam Bondi resign or be impeached!

Olympians have an enormous platform, and when they arrive on the world stage to represent the United States, millions of people are watching. In moments of national crisis and profound injustices, their voices matter more than ever. British-American freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy recently wrote “F*ck ICE” in the snow and urged his social media followers to put pressure on lawmakers during the DHS funding negotiations. Figure skater Amber Glenn from Texas has spoken openly about recent attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and the toll Trump’s administration has taken on queer communities. At press conferences in Milan, freestyle skier Chris Lillis shared that he feels “heartbroken” about what’s happening, and snowboarders Chloe Kim, Bea Kim, and Maddie Mastro emphasized diversity, compassion, and the responsibility to protect one another in times of injustice. Olympians have a platform and responsibility to speak out against Trump’s cruelty and attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities as they represent the U.S. on a global stage. And when they do, they should know they’re not alone. Show Olympic athletes that we have their backs when they speak out against ICE and other injustices everyday Americans are facing!

There is a large amount of minority people in our county and we don't want them to be in danger of being kidnaped, assaulted, or murdered. We want our community to be protected, that can't happen if ICE is welcomed into it.

While individual members of Congress have refused to attend the State of the Union in the past, there has never been a collective boycott. Now is the time for elected leaders to demonstrate unified dissent.  American families are facing an uncertain job market and rising costs impacting everything from groceries to health care premiums. Meanwhile, Trump is enriching himself while he advocates for higher house prices and cozies up to tech billionaires. And as communities in cities like Minneapolis band together to protect each other from ICE’s terrifying attacks, Trump continues to push for mass deportation raids.  But we know Trump won’t tell these real stories of what’s happening on the ground to American families—he’ll only keep spreading misinformation.  When history looks back at Trump’s authoritarian address to Congress, the record should reflect a half-empty room. Demand members of Congress boycott Trump’s State of the Union and refuse to legitimize more lies to the American people! 

CHATGPT "EDU" is an "investment" that means our school will commit to a product that causes learning decay, funds ICE, and damages the environment at an extremely alarming rate. Let CU know that we want AI OUT NOW.

The proposed construction will drastically alter the landscape of the area, introducing high-density housing that could lead to increased traffic congestion, overstretched local services, and reduced green space, which are fundamental to our community’s character and environmental health. Residential neighborhoods, like those around Kennedy Road, have long been cherished for their peaceful atmosphere and open spaces — a sharp contrast to the urban density that these apartment complexes would bring. According to studies from the American Planning Association, rapid urban development can detrimentally impact local ecosystems, increase pollution levels, and diminish residents' quality of life. These significant shifts go against the values of sustainability and community well-being that are deeply important to the residents of Blacklick. Moreover, local wildlife, which currently thrives in this semi-natural environment, faces the threat of habitat disruption due to this planned construction. The potential ecological impact includes a reduction in biodiversity and challenges to the survival of native species, a concern supported by research from the World Wildlife Fund. The local infrastructure is already under strain, with schools, public transport, and emergency services stretched to their limits. Introducing a substantial number of new residents without proportionate enhancements to these services will inevitably lead to breakdowns and inefficiencies.

It is important because too many people have suffered for us to sit back idlily and do nothing. It is important because way too many people cannot tell their story. Too many victims whose name we will never know. Too many people have been traumatized into silence, into never talking about the evil things that happened to them. Millions of Americans are suffering under a government who do not accurately represent them. Under broken systems that leave countless people behind. That leave people hungry, and homeless.  We will fight for a country that boosts up its citizens with laws and ordinances that benefit peoples pockets, health, and leisure time. We want a change to the laws that protect people in high positions of governmental power or social status, to reflect the will of the people. More financial security, more trust in the government, more criminal charges for the people in these Epstein Files. 

Because this is a direct attack on the people who keep our families safe. Schedule Policy/Career now allows politicians to fire nonpartisan federal scientists, doctors, researchers, and policy experts simply for doing their jobs—following the evidence, speaking the truth, or disagreeing with political pressure. These are the public servants who track disease outbreaks, oversee drug safety, fund addiction treatment and mental health programs, protect clean air and water, and make sure taxpayer dollars support research that saves lives. If they can be replaced with political loyalists, science becomes optional—and politics takes over. That means delayed public health warnings. Suppressed research. Funding decisions based on ideology instead of need. Fewer experts willing to speak up when something is unsafe or ineffective. And when the next crisis hits—a pandemic, overdose surge, environmental disaster, or emerging threat—we’ll have fewer experienced professionals left to respond. We’ve seen what happens when science is sidelined: confusion, preventable deaths, and broken trust.  Schedule Policy/Career puts these risks into motion. This isn’t abstract. It affects whether your community gets accurate health guidance, whether lifesaving research is funded, whether clean water standards are enforced, and whether government works for people—or for politics. A strong, independent civil service protects everyone, regardless of party. Weakening it puts all of us at risk. If you believe experts—not political operatives—should guide public health and safety, now is the time to act. Add your name. Speak out. Demand that Congress take immediate action to reverse or meaningfully limit the implementation of Schedule Policy/Career through legislative and oversight authority and defend the scientists and public servants who defend us every day. Because once this independence is gone, it’s incredibly hard to get back.

Americans pay more for their medicine than any country on earth, and Virginians pay 36% more than the national average. 35% of Virginians chose not to fill a prescription in 2023, and 63% of voters are concerned about the cost of medication. Life-saving medications only work if you can afford them, and Virginians can't afford them anymore. This bill would:  • Extend Medicare negotiated lower drug prices to Virginians with other state-regulated health insurance plans.  • Save taxpayers money by reducing state and local government spending on prescription drugs.  • Help ensure affordable access to life-saving medicine for illnesses like cancer and diabetes.  • Mitigate out-of-control prices set by the big drug companies.  This commonsense bill passed the Virginia state legislature by overwhelming bipartisan majorities this spring, because they recognize we need action. Please contact Governor Spanberger to sign the Affordable Medicine Act into law.

High out-of-pocket costs put lifesaving treatment out of reach for many Virginians, but you can change that! Make a difference today by asking your state legislators to support affordable access to life-saving treatment through a health insurance option with co-pays not co-insurance.  In these uncertain times, patients deserve the stability and peace of mind that comes from knowing their out-of-pocket costs will remain predictable and affordable. 

Public institutions don’t just educate or treat patients; they signal what society considers acceptable. Refusing to honor individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein draws a firm line that crimes against children are beyond excuse, influence, or reputation.  Educational institutions and hospitals serve children, young adults, trauma survivors, and people seeking help at their most vulnerable moments. For survivors of abuse, seeing these names can be retraumatizing and alienating. A trauma-informed stance requires minimizing harm—not perpetuating it through symbolic honors.  Universities and hospitals rely on public confidence. When institutions appear indifferent to well-documented associations with exploitation, they erode trust among students, parents, patients, staff, and the broader community. Taking a clear stance restores credibility and shows leadership is willing to act ethically, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Palau is not a large country with vast land, infrastructure, or unlimited resources. We already face challenges related to housing, healthcare, education, and employment for our own people. Introducing a population from a completely different cultural background—one with histories, customs, and experiences unfamiliar to us—raises serious concerns about our capacity to integrate them safely and responsibly.    Historically, Palau has welcomed people from within the Pacific who share Pasifika values, traditions, and ways of life. The people of Echang are a clear example of this—welcomed, integrated, and now a valued part of our community. This was possible because of shared cultural understanding and regional ties. The current proposal does not reflect the same circumstances.    We do not know the full backgrounds of these refugees, including prior involvement in criminal activity, trafficking, or drug-related issues. As a small island nation, we are uniquely vulnerable. What may be manageable for larger countries could have irreversible consequences for Palau.    We need only look to other Pacific nations, such as Fiji, where unchecked migration and foreign influence have led to social strain and loss of local control. Palau must learn from these examples and not repeat them.    Our ancestors fought tirelessly for Palauan independence and self-determination. Today, many of us fear that decisions like this move us backward—placing foreign interests and short-term financial gain above the long-term safety, culture, and future of our people.
