Thx to your inspiration, This is the message I left for my 2 FL Senators:
The concentration camp operating just down the highway from my home is horrifying.
Forcing largely nonviolent people into unsanitary and unsafe conditions simply because Stephen Miller is offended by their skin color is wrong.
This must stop.
Every person in this country is entitled to due process and humane treatment. The fact that ICE is providing neither is shameful. Congress needs to rein them in and shut down the Everglades gulag immediately before someone else dies.
The day before funds were cut by the Dept. of Education, Jeff Jackson, AG of NC, received a three-sentence letter letting him know. Mr. Jackson and other AGs are suing based on the illegality of bypassing Congress. Mr. Jackson has made a YouTube video, which I saw in his email to North Carolinian voters.
Thank you Jess Craven. I did not know about New York Focus until I read about the upcoming panel of local newspaper staff. You are and have been such a resource!
Yes,they do fall in line.Although I call my MAGAs every week.Doing nothing is not an option.Calling,among other actions, empowers me to keep fighting.
I live in a very red Fl county.Last week readers of the local Gannett paper voted 70% against our concentration camp aka Alligator Alcatraz.Yes, it will get worse before the tide turns 🌊. I want to be able to say I was on the right side of history…
I feel what you're saying here since I also am in a Red State with HORRIBLE reps. (Monsterous Mike Lee and Repulsive Celeste Maloy) However I have been making (simce February) & continue to make multiple calls a day to them because why should they have ANY peace? Yeah, I am most likely screaming into a void but at least I'm doing something and using my voice while I still can. ✊🏻
Even if they do 'fall into line' that is no reason to let them feel comfortable. Chip, chip away at their comfort zone. And remember 'Evil exists when good men/women do nothing.' Don't despair, dig deep and keep going. Bon courage.
Jess - I hope you can reach out to your NC subscribers to press retiring Sen. Tillis to be the 4th vote stopping the rescission bill to be voted on tomorrow after 1:30pm debate ends 7/16. One more moral vote to save lives from spread of disease and starvation without foreign aid and no emergency warnings, weather reports and key information in rural news deserts. I've been pleading with him in Twitter/X comments. I don't know other soft targets.
Not going to lie, I am feeling really down today after hearing Trump say he will redistrict/ "gerrymander" states so they can "gain 5 seats" plus more in other states. He's openly stating what he wants to do. Not one reporter called him out on it. There's no one to stop him from doing this. All the ICE action, Florida concentration camp- It's overwhelming. Sigh.
Planning to CALL my Rep w/the dialog above, but I also turned the text into a #ResistBot petition ~ share using this 🔗 https://resist.bot/petitions/PCRWTK to broaden its reach!

Miller would have been right at home in 1938 Germany. Too bad the “never again” mantra rings so hollow today.

I will call senators and congressmen’s representatives. Trump is cruel.

Calling republican lawmakers is a complete waste of time -they don’t care -they will always fall in line and vote as they are told
Yes,they do fall in line.Although I call my MAGAs every week.Doing nothing is not an option.Calling,among other actions, empowers me to keep fighting.

Everything Trump is doing is driving me insane, but more than that, the people who believe what he says are somehow worse. Do they not have EYES??
It's about what's in the big ugly bill so we can get the big picture and call
Jess, did you see this? It's very potent https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1JYXn3zb7W/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I have tremendous respect for this author — as well as for the author’s vigor, engagement, and daily pragmatic advice to defend our Democracy. 🏆🇺🇸🏆
However, what in the world (Paragraph 4) does this mean?! 🍌🍌
“Trump’s bananas tariff policies … “
Are there now new tariffs on bananas?
Clarity and diction precision, please. 🙏🏾🫣🍌🤕
