Good morning

From now on I will try to put notice of protests first in these emails so that you don’t have to read the whole email.

Put this in your calendar

Don’t forget to check out our FB page for those of you who still participate.

Now to WCID’s

These are quotes from Jessica Craven (Chop Wood, Carry Water):

“Wherever Trump and his people are, we see the abuse, assault, and abduction of children. Whether it’s ICE agents maiming teenagers, deporting babies while they’re sick, and imprisoning toddlers, or whether it’s the Epstein class’s unspeakable assaults on children, this “abuse, assault, and abductions” theme is THE common thread.

So everyone who cares about kids must use it often. We must keep drawing those lines for those who can’t yet see them.”

So, to Senators Scott and Moody

(2022243121) or better yet email them:

First, I know Reps. Khanna and Massie are going to force a House floor vote next week on an Iran war powers resolution. I want the Senator to propose something similar in the Senate. The American people do not want Trump to take us to war with Iran. Congress needs to do its job and stop him.

Second, I wholly oppose the SAVE Act, the Save America Act, the MEGA Act, or any GOP bill that will block millions of American citizens from voting. Non citizen voting is a non-issue—a Heritage Foundation database found 85 cases of it between 2002 and 2023—and most of those were green card holders. That’s amongst billions of votes. These bills are no more than a Republican attempt to suppress votes because they know Americans hate their policies. It’s despicable. Vote no. Thanks.

And to Rep.Mast

(2022243121) or better yet email:

First, I know Reps. Khanna and Massie are going to force a House floor vote next week on their Iran war powers resolution. I expect the Congressmember to support it. Do NOT allow Trump to take us to war with Iran.

Second, Pam Bondi needs to resign or be impeached, and the rest of the Epstein files must be released immediately with no perpetrator names redacted. Prince Andrew was arrested today—we cannot see the US remain the one place where abusers continue to escape accountability.

Finally, I understand that DHS is overpaying massively for the detention warehouses it’s purchasing—new reporting says there’s a 33% to 323% markup on these facilities compared to fair market values. I want to know who is pocketing those profits and why that money isn’t going to help Americans instead. We don’t need these detention centers, in which people are dying in alarming numbers. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need affordable utility bills. I urge Congress to immediately block funding for warehouse detention expansion, demand full public disclosure on all contracts, and hold oversight hearings on the waste, fraud, and abuse we’re seeing from DHS. Thanks.

That’s it for this week (I think). Thanks for all that you are doing.
