A dangerous wave of Israeli settler violence is tearing through the West Bank, with roving gangs rampaging through Palestinian villages, beating residents, torching homes and a mosque, and even assaulting Israeli security forces who arrive to restore order. Five Americans have been killed in the West Bank in just the past two years, including most recently Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet, a 20-year-old from Florida who was visiting family when violent settlers beat him and stopped an ambulance from reaching him. Up until this year, an Executive Order helped prevent violence in the West Bank by sanctioning some of the settlers and organizations that were fueling it. But Trump repealed it on his first day in office, allowing the perpetrators of the uptick in violence we’re seeing today to act with impunity. Now, Congress is mobilizing to enshrine these sanctions through the West Bank Violence Prevention Act (H.R.3045 / S.2667) — which just hit a critical milestone of 100 House cosponsors. With your help, we can flood lawmakers’ inboxes with even more support and push this momentum further to help impose costs on violent settlers in the West Bank.

Each time mergers happen between large corporations, consumers suffer. Prices go up, quality goes down, and we lose choice. That's why antitrust laws are fundamentally pro-consumer and pro-worker. We shouldn't have to pay even more to watch our favorite shows and movies. These mega-mergers also hurt everyone working in the movie and TV industries. Fewer productions mean fewer jobs for writers, actors, designers, technicians, editors, and all the related fields that support film and television. Movie theaters won't have enough movies to keep their doors open. Creative output will be diminished, fewer voices will be heard, and fewer stories will be shared. Netflix has already raised prices significantly in recent years, and Paramount has followed suit. A monopoly will only make it worse. Media consolidation hurts everyone except billionaire executives. It's no wonder voices from both sides of the aisle are raising concerns. A Netflix or Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. would be disastrous to consumers, creators, the economy, and the industry. Don't let corporate greed destroy American media!

Predators are targeting Black elderly homeowners — especially women — because they believe no one will protect them. But we will. Our elders built Central Brooklyn. They deserve safety, dignity, and the right to age in place — not displacement through fraud and violence. Add your name. Stand with our elders. Protect Black homes.

The Trump administration originally planned to use taxpayers dollars to burn the contraceptives—largely intrauterine devices (IUDs)—currently stored in warehouses in Belgium. In fact, earlier this summer, U.S. officials said the contraceptives were already destroyed, which was a lie. Belgian laws ban the destruction of usable medical supplies without special approval. So instead, the Trump administration is just trying to run down the clock until the birth control is unusable.  Recent reports suggest that some of the contraceptives have already expired, but others are not set to expire until 2027, 2028, or 2029.  We still have time to force the Trump administration to release the birth control to another country or nonprofit organization so they can distribute it as planned.

“Kill everybody.” This was Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reported order for a September 2 strike, according to a source close to the series of unauthorized bombings in the Caribbean and Pacific. Some would call it a war crime, but a reminder: we are not at war. What Hegseth ordered is simply murder. Disturbing evidence is emerging that these strikes were both plainly criminal and directed from the very top. Now, powerful members of Congress — from both parties — are demanding answers. But this order is just the latest move by an out-of-control official who abuses his power, undermines the rule of law, and actively harms communities here and abroad, and answers aren’t enough. Impeachment is how Congress must check Secretary Hegseth’s reckless actions and stop him from inflicting future harm. Unfortunately, without pressure from constituents, lawmakers are unlikely to act with the urgency necessary to meet the moment. That’s where you come in.

This petition is for CorePower community members who •  believe their instructors and studio cleaners deserve a fair wage • are sick (sometimes literally) of ringworm-infested studios

Under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth watch, recent unauthorized boat strikes in the Caribbean killed more than 60 civilians. This highlights a reckless disregard for civilians and basic standards of international humanitarian law. Treating civilian casualties as an acceptable cost of “showing strength” undermines U.S. credibility with other countries, fuels instability, and puts both service members and communities abroad at greater risk. His explicit effort to rebrand the Pentagon as the “Department of War” is not symbolic; it reflects a worldview that prioritizes aggression and political theatrics over careful, lawful, and restrained use of military power. Civilian lives must never be treated as expendable, and any leader who normalizes such harm and normalizes war crimes cannot credibly claim to be safeguarding our national security, our values, or the service members asked to carry out these operations. Hegseth’s background simply does not meet the standard for this job. For the safety of U.S. troops, the protection of civilians, and the integrity of our democracy, we need to remove Pete Hegseth and confirm a Secretary who values human life, international law, and true defense over permanent, endless war. 

Senate Democrats must fight back to protect our democracy and demand that Trump’s nominees meet the qualifications and integrity intended for our judicial branch. We have to keep the pressure up to let Democrats know that we’re watching and relying on them to stop Trump from completely taking over our courts. Republicans have filled our judiciary with right-wing extremists, from the lower courts all the way to the Supreme Court, and it’s up to Democrats to stop Trump’s attempts to further corrupt our courts in order to carry out his authoritarian agenda. 

Any defense of Epstein is simply immoral. Jeffrey Epstein and his coconspirator Ghislaine Maxwell spent decades abusing young girls and women. Megyn Kelly’s rhetoric is not only disgraceful to every survivor out there, but it’s harmful. This rhetoric attempts to minimize Epstein’s harm and takes away the pain and abuse he caused thousands to go through. On top of these heinous comments, this isn’t the first time that Megyn Kelly has caused controversy. She’s spent years spewing hateful rhetoric to her viewers, and years ago, she was even fired for trying to justify blackface on Halloween. It’s clear that Megyn Kelly doesn’t deserve a platform to spread her hateful rhetoric—especially one with millions of listeners and dollars behind it. 

The death of Marchello Woodard in Erie, PA, left his family and the community with unanswered questions and a sense of injustice. Independent oversight is necessary to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in how this case is handled.We are concerned about impartiality in this case. The Erie County District Attorney appeared on a public podcast with the parole officer involved in my father’s death. This connection raises questions about a conflict of interest and makes it critical that an independent investigation be conducted to ensure transparency and accountability. Why others should join: • Community trust: When investigations are delayed or unclear, public trust in law enforcement and local officials is eroded. • Accountability: Independent investigation ensures that any misconduct, errors, or mishandling are addressed. • Justice for families: Marchello’s family deserves answers and closure, and your support helps amplify their voice. • Prevent future tragedies: Oversight and transparency can help prevent similar cases in the future. By signing this petition, you are standing with the family and the community to demand that the authorities act responsibly and transparently.

By signing the following, I am petitioning the City and DOMI to: 1.    Not implement their current proposal. 2.    Keep S. Linden Ave a two-way street for its entire length. 3.    Meet with residents who live within the project area to draw on their experiences and collaborate on solutions to improve pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist routes without compromising safety, removing existing on-street parking, or creating new-unsafe conditions for any mode of transportation. 4.    Conduct a traffic study of the project area during multiple times of the day – specifically during morning commute, school dismissals on S Linden (and the implications this will create for the safety at the schools on S Dallas and Reynolds), and evening commute. 5.    Conduct a traffic study on the implications this will have on other nearby intersections (Hastings Street, Reynolds Street, Gettysburg Street, Fennimore Street, Edgerton Ave, Glen Arden Drive, Kingston Way, Elysian Street, S Dallas Ave, Conover Road, Sinnet Way, Selwyn Street, Lacy Way) pedestrian safety and traffic congestion. 6.    Consider speed humps as an alternative on S Linden in the school zone and near the light at the five-way intersection.   

The Morea Road warehouse project must be reevaluated because it will permanently reshape the community, placing a massive industrial facility only 300 yards from existing homes, increasing noise, air pollution, and heavy truck traffic while destroying local green space and wildlife habitat. Residents were never properly notified or given the chance to participate in earlier decisions, despite the project’s direct impact on their safety, health, property values, and quality of life. Ensuring thorough environmental studies, transparent public communication, and responsible planning is essential not to stop progress, but to protect families and preserve the long-term well-being and livability of Mahanoy Township for current and future generations.
