ACTION CALL: NOBODY voted for this!
4 dozen House Democrats helped pass MAGA’s xenophobic Laken Riley Act. WTH, Democrats, what you doing?!?
Thank the ones who did the right thing! Spank the ones who didn’t!
(rollingstone) “On Tuesday, four dozen House Democrats joined Republicans in passing a viciously right-wing immigration bill — legislation that, just last year, was seen as a conservative messaging bill. Six Democratic lawmakers flipped their positions, voting for the legislation after rejecting it last year. There’s a strong likelihood that the immigration bill will pass in the Senate, too, after most of the Democratic caucus voted to begin debate on the legislation.”

Don’t just ignore the inauguration of our future Felon-in-Chief! Actively commit to the legacy of our nation’s greatest civil rights leader!
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is an official day of service that honors his legacy and empowers the community to create a “just, humane, equitable and peaceful world.” However, for the first time ever, it coincides with a presidential inauguration.
Continue reading “COUNTERPROGRAM THE INAUGURATION!”A transphobic version of the NDAA passed both the House and the Senate. Ask Biden to veto it, and thank/spank the legislators involved.
German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller wrote his “First they came…” poem as an apology. He himself was part of “the silent complicity of German intellectuals and clergy” who said nothing as the Nazis began purging their chosen targets, group after group.
Some may think that the number of transgender children targeted in the GOP’s Project 2025 version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is too small to worry about. However, Berlin’s trans and queer community, a tiny minority, were some of the first targets of the Nazis. Jews themselves were less than 0.75% of Germany’s population. Small as these groups were, their sacrifice was demanded – literally thrown into the fire – for what was described as the greater good of society.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth actually wrote an amendment to remove the transphobic language from the NDAA (see below), but she and some other signers ended up capitulating, making the mental calculation that the pay raise of the GOP version was worth sacrificing the equal protection of health care for an estimated 10,000 transgender children of service members. (Harm is already occurring. Crisis calls to the Trevor Project spiked 700% after Election Day!)
The Christian nationalists are starting their process of breaking us apart by focusing, as the Nazis did, on small minorities. We must decide if we will fight for what our Pledge of Allegiance says we are – “one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” – or to remain silent, like Niemöller did, until it is too late.
Action #1 – Email Joe and tell him not to sign a bill that discriminates against kids!

Telehealth is popular because it’s convenient and often the best option for people living in “transit deserts” – rural and even urban areas without public or private transportation options, or places that have become healthcare deserts. It also helps caregivers and those with full-time jobs where taking off a day of work for an appointment is problematic.
However, for millions of disabled Americans, telehealth is not just a convenience – they rely on these services for doctors appointments, prescriptions, and other medical needs. Some patients do not have specialists for their disease located in their area, and for many patients, leaving home at all can be too risky to contemplate.
Lawmakers from both sides have called on the DEA to issue a two-year extension of the telemedicine benefits first put in place in 2020, and some have proposed legislation making the changes permanent. Although these bills are related to Medicare, they will affect telehealth access through private insurance indirectly, as private plans tend to follow Medicare when setting coverage.
Call your legislators in both chambers to act quickly on these bills and tell your friends and relatives in RED states to do so too! This BIPARTISAN issue may get swept away by the unelected robber-bros in DOGE.
Action #1 – Contact your representative – you have (1)! Yes, you can email on the weekend!

Captain Heelspurs’ legislators are playing toxic messaging games with the health care of the children of military service members.

Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in 2020. It’s been stuck since then.
Please take this action ASAP as we want President Biden to PUBLISH the ERA before he leaves office.
Email Joe – We have scripts!

Please add your voice to that of Rev. Sharon Risher!:
Rev. Sharon Risher‘s mother, two cousins and a childhood friend were among the nine people killed by White supremacist Dylann Roof, who was sentenced to death in 2017. However, after studying the racial disparities in the application of the death penalty, and the lack of evidence that it deters violent crime, she asked President Biden to commute his punishment to a life sentence without parole instead. And she wants this to happen for the 40 others on federal death row too, before sociopathic Felon/President-elect Donald Trump restarts the killing spree he began in his first administration. In his final six months in office, he executed 13 people, more than any president in the past 120 years. She hasn’t heard back from Biden yet and those 40 people are still at risk. Let’s pile on!
Action: Urge President Biden to eliminate the death penalty for those under his watch.

Contact the Biden Administration and urge Mayorkas and Biden to finalize and publish the H-1B modernization rule to move DACA recipients to a more secure status and to expedite the processing of existing applications.
Action #1: Urge DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to finalize the H-1B modernization rule.
EMAIL: (Here’s our take. We aren’t immigration experts, so we’re emphasizing that he finish the work he started. Use personal stories if you can.)
Sec. Mayorkas, I’m writing to urge you to finalize the H-1B modernization rule. Your actions as USCIS director during the Obama administration to implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process in just 60 days, protected our friends and neighbors, and there’s no amount of thanks we can give you for that.
