• Call for Congress to Reopen Assassination Probes
    The Trump White House has allowed the CIA to continue its defiance of the law, even though the JFK Records Act called for the full release of relevant documents in 2017.

  • Free Gloribel!
    As a community member who believes in your leadership, your institutions and believes in our community, I am writing to ask you to immediately intervene on behalf of Lourdes Gloribel Perez Andrade A#200939229, who was detained earlier this January 2019 and is in ICE Custody, currently being held in Louisiana at Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility 830 Pinehill Rd, Jena, LA 71342 (318) 992-7800. We need your advocacy for ICE to exercise prosecutorial discretion in granting parole for Lourdes Gloribel Perez Andrade. who was suddenly and traumatically taken into ICE Custody. Lourdes Gloribel’s (Glory) story is that of extreme trauma as well as extreme resiliency. She came to the United States at the age of 14, pregnant and without her parents, seeking protection from the violence she had experienced in El Salvador. She had been living with her aunt and grandmother when gang members abducted her and sexually assaulted her. After her aunt helped her escape, she decided she could no longer safely live in her community. After she entered the U.S., Lourdes was detained by border patrol, but released to live with her mother and attend immigration court. Following through with immigration court was important to Lourdes and her mother, but life was very difficult for both of them after her entry. Her mother was in a violent and abusive relationship that only became worse once Lourdes came into the household. A few months after entering the country Lourdes gave birth, at the age of fifteen. Her mother tried contacting Lourdes biological father, but found no help from him. Meanwhile the violence she experienced became so bad that she fled the home with her daughter and granddaughter to seek refuge at a shelter for abused women. It was while they were living temporarily in the shelter for victims of domestic violence that Lourdes missed her court date. At the time Lourdes was consumed with problems other than court: feeding her baby, finding a home to live in, and keeping her mother out of danger. The notices for court were sent to the home she had escaped, a place she feared having any contact with that might expose her mother and her to more abuse. The following months were tumultuous for Lourdes, now fifteen and taking care of her infant child while living a women’s shelter. Her mother, the only support in her life, gave birth to Lourdes’s brother while they were living in the shelter. By the time she and her mother got back on her feet her court date had long passed and she simply did not know what to do to fix the situation. Instead she turned her attention to raising her children, and contributing to her community as well as she could. She became a well-loved member of her community, which was devastated by her arrest and detention by immigration. She is now asking for the immigration court to reopen her case and allow her to apply for asylum so that she can be protected from returning to El Salvador. We have letters of support form other community members, doctors, teachers and organizations in support of Glory’s freedom and reuniting with her family and her community. Can you please join us in this call to action? CIMA (Compañeros Inmigrantes de Las Montañas en Acción), Nuestro Centro, my family and my community are asking for your support in reuniting Glory with her family. We need our representatives to do the humane thing, the right thing.

  • League of Legends Animated Series
    The purpose of this would be to show Riot, the owners of League of Legends, and whomever else it may concern all the interest (if any) of an animated League of Legends Series. I had sent Riot support a message asking why they hadn't already done this and what it would take to make this a reality. They said they weren't sure. I asked what if enough people showed interest, for example, something that had a million signatures of people that would be very interested in them pursuing this. I was told, that's something that they would have to take very seriously and would probably help to get that achieved. So here we are; let's see if there is as much interest as I think there is seeing as the hype towards each new animated short they put out is usually very high.

  • Air the movie Idiocracy in place of the State of the Union address
    Because IDIOCRACY is actually more relevant to our times than the actual State of the Union address.

  • AMAZON: You're Boxing Us Up!
    We all use Amazon. The Amazon name is ubiquitous. But Amazon's discarded boxes are ubiquitous too. There is an unnecessary waste of boxes (and inside packaging) that comes with Amazon's shipments. Many items in boxes are not breakable and can be shipped flat in smaller recyclable envelopes. The sum total of the time and cost to all of us to recycle Amazon's boxes is fantastic and an environmental burden.

  • Strike and Protest to Support Government Workers
    The entire country is being affected by this completely unnecessary shut-down, and the longer it lasts the wider the damage. We should support those being most grievously affected-- federal government and contract workers. All citizens can demonstrate support for these individuals by participating in a national strike and by putting pressure on their representatives, particularly on their Senators.

  • Facebook's sexist and racist review practices
    I am asking federal and state legislators to take action to address Facebook's discriminatory practice of bias against Minority Communities (People of Color, Women, and the LGBTQ). Facebook's employees consistently block and censor facebook participants that post comments that make Christian, White, Males, with right-wing political leanings uncomfortable. These comments are consistently tagged with being against community standards, yet when a second review is requested the second reviewer reposts the comment and restores the commenters account access. If the poster does not request a review, which is often the case the commenter is unnecessarily denied account access In effect, facebook's employees with the lack of oversight by executive management have created "jim crow" practices to silence the voices of Minority Communities on social media. I and others have been repeatedly censured, blocked, or have comments removed simply because facebook's employees are uncomfortable with comments that address and call out racism, the criminality of the current administration and the privilege and entitlement White, European-Americans in the USA. On December 23, I posted the comment " I look forward to the imprisonment of tRump and eventual execution for HIGH TREASON", after reading a second child had been died while illegally detained at the USA and Mexico border. My comment addressed this administration's possible treason, racist policies and incompetent execution of their duties. My comment was reported and the first reviewer stated it was against facebook's bullying policy and against community standards. My comment was based on the fact that execution is an accepted sentence for HIGH TREASON. At around 6:00 that evening I requested a secondary review. At a little past 11:30 pm facebook that night, I received an apology they got it wrong, they had reposted my comment and would restore my account access. My account was never restored because some facebook employees felt entitled to block my account. Everyday since 12/23/18, I requested through facebook's process that they need to again review their documentation and restore my account. Everyday for the last THIRTY DAYS my request was ignored. It was ignored because facebook's employees believe they are entitled to ignore citizens of the Minority Community, and especially Women of Color. AND KNEW NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN FOR THE CENSORSHIP OF A WOMEN OF COLOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE DECIDED TO SILENCE MINORITY VOICES! I want both state and federal legislators to review facebook's documentation for their review process, and resulting actions based on race, color, and orientation. Based upon my experience and anecdotal comments from others, "Minority" (Women, People of Color, and LGBTQ) communities are ''policed" at highers rates than right-wing, White, Males on facebook. The verbal abuse, slurs, threats, and stalking allowed by this group on facebook is against community standards yet consistently allowed after review by facebook employees. And too often, the reporter is provided with the glib suggestion by the facebook employee to "block" the commenter has become the standard mode or operation for when "Minorities" report posts on facebook. Please join me in ensuring Facebook is held accountable and their employees are not allowed to censor the voices of People of Color, Women and the LGBTQ community to enforce a Right-wing propaganda agenda. If you have also been subject to their employees sliding scale of review please share your story with your legislators BELOW IS MY DOCUMENTED REVIEW BY FACEBOOK ON 12/23 Your reply Dec 23, 2018 You let us know you don't think your post should be deleted. We're reviewing your comment Dec 23, 2018 Someone will be taking another look at this post. Your comment is back on Facebook Dec 23, 2018 We're sorry we got this wrong. We reviewed your post again and it does follow our Community Standards. We appreciate you taking the time to request a review. Your feedback helps us do better.

  • Boycott 2019 State of the Union Speech
    Because the only way to get their attention is to NOT give them the attention they crave. Maybe then we can open the Government back up and stop using furloughed workers as hostages!

  • Villas at Oakwell Farms: Improve security measures
    Villas Property Management, There has been a sharp increase in car break-ins in our apartment complex during the past few months. The residents of Villas at Oakwell Farms pay to live in a gated community with a security guard with the belief that our property, ourselves, and our loved ones will be safe. Since the car break-ins have increased, the Villas has provided no response to how safety measures will be improved to prevent future break-ins from occurring. We believe this inaction is negligent especially since reports of theft have been increasingly reported to the Villas management. We, the residents, demand: 1. A meeting for the entire apartment complex that addresses the following: a. Inform residents of all security issues that have occurred in the past 12 months: car vandalism, car break-in, property damage, theft, burglary, and assault and the steps the Villas has taken to address these security issues. b. Inform residents about security measures the Villas will take including but not limited to: i. Having security guards make hourly rounds around the entirety of the apartment complex ii. Installing two security cameras per building iii. Hiring another security guard, outlining their hours on duty, job description, and frequency and areas of patrol iv. Timely address of broken gate issues and notifying residents via email or text when the gate is malfunctioning so they can take actions to protect themselves and their property If preventative measures do not take place within a month, we demand that our rent is decreased by 10% because we no longer live in an apartment complex that can meet our security demands.
