Adam Putnam, Florida Agriculture Commissioner and candidate for governor, proclaims himself a “proud NRA sellout.” And yet Disney and its affiliates has given over $840,000 to Putnam’s political action committee. It’s been two years since 49 people were killed at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. As a queer student of color living in Florida, I know firsthand that my community is still reeling from these horrific losses of life. Under Putnam’s watch as Agriculture Commissioner, Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services failed to perform background checks -- for a year -- on applicants for concealed weapons permits because the staffer responsible for running these couldn’t figure out how to log in to the FBI’s background check system. Putnam is clearly a danger to Florida. Disney, you market to the LGBTQ community so heavily in Florida and beyond, especially during Pride month, and yet June will always be marked to us as the month in which so many beloved people lost their lives to gun violence. Your support of NRA extremist Adam Putnam is a slap in our collective faces. You must pay attention to your customer base, not just line your pockets from us. People of color especially make up large portions of many audiences from which you profit, including the LGBTQ community. Disney, for you to donate profits that you make off of the parents of young kids, and the parents of children killed by gun violence; your continued support of Putnam is insulting and disgraceful. This is especially true for Black families and communities, who are already so disproportionately affected by gun violence. And we have had enough. Disney, we are holding you accountable. Stop funding Adam Putnam’s bid for governor of Florida.

Circuit Court Judge David H. McCormick of the 15th Judicial District in Scott Count, Arkansas has conducted himself in gross judicial negligence and lack of judicial temperament in the case of FREDRICK POTTER V CASSAUNDRA HOLMES. The story involves love, greed, extortion, elder abuse, judicial misconduct, and corruption. Please follow the case at https://JusticeForFredPotter.com. Arkansas deserves better!

While we can’t address all of the nonsense from Donald Trump and all of the harm to relationships with allies around the world, let’s stand up to disavow the inappropriately negative and personal comments that President Trump addressed to Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a strong ally of ours and a very good neighbor — President Trump’s treatment of Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada is a poor reward.

Thanks to Trump's tax scam, oil and gas industry allies in Congress were able to open the door to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Now, the Department of the Interior is collecting public comments as part of its environmental review process until June 19. Oil and gas drilling would be extremely destructive to ANWR's water, wildlife, and other sensitive resources that the Native Gwich’in people of the Arctic depend on. Submit a comment to tell U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to reject ANY AND ALL oil and gas drilling on the Coastal Plain of ANWR.

Pads, tampons, and cups are necessary for women's health, if there are no taxes on food because it is a need, why should there be taxes on supplies which are pertinent for the health of women? Women are discriminated against because of their menstrual cycle, which is natural and uncontrollable. The amount of money that is added by sales taxes can make an essential product for women not affordable to those who struggle financially.

I have never been so ashamed to be American as when our Government officials spoke to another world leader with those insulting remarks. At any other time in our history they would both have been fired immediately.

We are horrified and embarrassed by the attacks on our good friend, Canada, and its Prime Minister, apparently in an attempt to look stronger going into the negotiations with North Korea. Instead of stronger, he has succeeded in making himself look irrational.

Earlier this month, two hundred federal immigration enforcement agents descended upon Corso’s Flower and Garden Centers in Sandusky and Castalia, Ohio, with machine guns and K-9 dogs as helicopters circled overhead. They were there to arrest and deport Ohioans who work hard and love their families, accusing them of immigration violations. All told, 114 Corso’s workers were arrested by ICE during the aggressive, SWAT-style operation. Just a week later, they struck AGAIN, this time at a meatpacking plant in Massillon, Ohio, where another 100 agents arrested more than 100 workers. Kirstjen Nielsen is the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and is responsible for running Donald Trump’s turbo-charged deportation machine. Rebecca Adducci is the Field Office Director for Detroit ICE, with control over operations in Michigan and Ohio. Not only is she responsible for utilizing an outrageous show of government force in order to arrest and deport humble workers, but she has presided over the systematic separation of Ohio and Michigan families ever since the Trump Administration took office. Raids like the one in Sandusky, Castalia, and Massillon are destroying Ohio and Michigan families, and those of us who disagree with what’s happening need to stand up and say it! Sign this petition to tell DHS Chief Kirstjen Nielsen and ICE Field Director Rebecca Adducci to rein in their excessive use of force and deportation practices that destroy families.

Good morning, We have spent many hours trying to get our local providers to give us internet service, but we have not been successful. We live at 2609 Branch Road, Raleigh NC 27610. Spectrum is the cable provider and AT&T the phone service and DSL providers. AT&T refuses because their lines are old and crappy and won't hold the DSL signal, so they now refuse to give us service saying we would take away from others instead of saying it would cost them too much to repair their crappy lines. Spectrum refuses to run line saying it is not cost effective to provide our few homes and businesses service even though they are the "only" provider allowed in our area. Other service providers have told us repeatedly, Spectrum is your provider and it is their area. At the end of the day, we pay hundreds of dollars to Version to get 1 Meg service and it is slightly better than dial up. If providers can get 10-15 Meg service to mountain tops, why can't they get it to us being 9 miles from downtown Raleigh. These greedy companies will take the gravy and screw the rest of us were it would cost them a little to get us service and not give them huge profits. If they are the chosen provider, then they should be made to provide to everyone! thank you, Randy and Jo Ann Egland Castlewick Farms 2609 Branch Road Raleigh, NC 27610 919-264-3200

We are in desperate need of a dog beach in Carlsbad CA. This benefits not only our dogs and their owners but our community as well by bringing in tourist dollars. Lets show the world that Carlsbad is truly Dog Friendly!

We are at risk in a fire!

Last week I introduced legislation to prohibit the Trump Administration from indiscriminately separating immigrant kids from their parents. I believe Congress has a moral obligation to stand up and stop the federal government from ripping children from the arms of their parents. We should be in the business of keeping families together, not tearing them apart. Many of these families are fleeing violence and instability in search of security and safety here in the United States. It’s wrong to traumatize these kids further. Congress must take action right now.
