Democratic senators just tried to pass a new law to protect all Americans’ constitutional right to an abortion, regardless of their zip code. An abortion protection law is absolutely necessary now that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, but the vote failed — with Joe Manchin casting a decisive anti-abortion vote along with all 50 Republicans. Even if Manchin had voted yes, the bill would have “failed” due to the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes for the Senate to close debate. But the Senate can amend that rule any time they like by a simple majority vote. The filibuster is fundamentally undemocratic because it grants just a few individuals disproportionate power. It's time for Congress to eliminate the filibuster to protect democracy!

This is important for all of us to speak up to make change on this property and for the City of Norfolk to be held accountable for our total losses on our vehicles.

Everyone should want to stop all this violence in the black community. We are losing our children to this senseless violence.

The most important factor is traffic accidents at intersections, drivers running traffic signals when the traffic signal is red. Saving lives is top priority to our citizens.

Join my campaign for the women who will die bleeding out due to unviable pregnancy’s. For me who left an abusive relationship just to have a pregnancy scare and need Plan B. For your neighbor down the street whose little girl was raped and now expected to give birth at 13. For your moms and sisters and aunts and grandmas to continue having the same freedom of bodily autonomy that men have had since the constitution was first written. I know not everyone agrees and I know the majority of Tennessee is a hostile state when it comes to being pro-choice. But we are no longer just talking about aborting baby’s. Now we’re being threatened with unsafe sex that will cause a spread of infections and diseases all over the U.S. and it’s complying states. They’re telling us we are incubators. That we are nothing more than the set of ovary’s in our body’s. That even with the current rights we have, they can still take them away. Women live in fear everyday. Fear of the man waiting outside the grocery store, fear of the man walking our same pace on the sidewalk, fear of our male teachers, etc. But now we have to fear the government and our state governors. The individuals who are set up in order to protect our rights and freedoms. Again I’ll say that it is perfectly fine being pro life! The important part is being pro choice for everyone else. I’m hoping we can put our religion aside and remember that this is a crime against humanity.

If MTG is allowed to run again it would be like dumping fuel onto a fire.Marjorie Taylor Greene promotes violence and treason and that is unAmerican.

If we don’t do something now, the worst can happen

Just a few months ago, it looked like President Biden was close to finally achieving his top legislative priority: protecting the right to vote for all Americans. But 16 months into Biden’s presidency, Americans — especially Black Americans — are still being denied the right to vote. Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act right now, before it’s too late. Click here if you agree. What happened? The title of Rolling Stone’s postmortem says it all: “How Joe Manchin Knifed the Democrats — and Bailed on Saving Democracy.” Joe Manchin pulled a bait-and-switch on our democracy by pretending to be amenable to passing vital voting rights protections with a filibuster exemption just for as long as it was politically expedient. Then, Manchin revealed his opposition to two cornerstones of Biden’s agenda — voting rights and the Build Back Better agenda — one after the next. We can overcome Manchin by mobilizing the rest of Congress to prioritize voting rights legislation now, and not simply sit there and accept Manchin’s obstruction. All Members of Congress, regardless of partisan affiliation, need to take a stand for the fundamental democratic right to vote!

The essence of the campaign is eight procedural rules that Campaign Zero claims “data proves” can conjointly decrease police violence by 72 percent. Scenarios in which a civilian ends up dead and the misconduct is so flagrant as to potentially form the basis for a criminal charge. But there are lots of encounters between officials and civilians that are violent without being fatal. Signing this petition shows that We the people demand action against police brutality and promote finalizing the 8 can’t wait rules to prevent more tragedies like the case of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and etc.

Human-induced climate change is causing more frequent extreme weather events around the globe. Unfortunately, poorer countries like Mozambique, Bangladesh, Guatemala, and Somalia – countries that have contributed the least to global greenhouse gas emissions – are disproportionately affected by severe weather loss and damages and are unable to cover the costs themselves. For decades, coalitions of island nations and least developed countries have been advocating for the creation of an international loss and damage fund to assist poorer countries with losses and damages caused by severe weather events such as cyclones, droughts, fires, and flooding, but wealthier countries, including the United States, have continuously blocked these efforts.

The decline of bees has been well-documented in recent years, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that pollinating insects have an $18 billion annual impact on crops. Temporarily stopping mowing allows for early-blooming plants such as dandelions and white clover to grow to let bees start earlier on their foraging efforts. The longer grass provides a crucial habitat for many insects and small animals without having to travel far distance through a city Regular cutting weakens the grass roots while letting the grass grow helps develop a great root system, which improves water retention and drought resiliency. When cut, the longer trimmings will help the soil by returning the nutrients, promoting healthier, thicker grass and reducing the need for fertilizers.
