The next big fight is brewing over DACA. Republicans on the state level and Donald Trump are threatening to end the program. DACA provides safety for children brought to the US as young children who came out of the shadows as illegal immigrants expecting their government to protect them. We need to tell Congress to […]
As devastating flood waters rose in Texas and Hurricane Harvey came ashore, Trump was busy. Not with preparing for the hurricane, of course. He spent his time pardoning the notorious Sheriff Arpaio, who ran jails where prisoners were denied basic sanitary items and who was convicted of contempt of court for continuing to racially-profile immigrants. […]
Republicans are planning to use Dreamers and DACA recipients as political pawns in their game. DACA recipients are immigrants who came to this country at an early age, and willingly came out of the shadows to be granted protection by President Obama. Now Trump is threatening to renege on America’s promise to these brave individuals […]
Monday, August 21st: It is time for our representatives to take a firm stance against Donald Trump’s championing of hate. Democrats in Congress have introduced a measure to censure Trump. Bob Latta and Rob Portman cannot just condemn the white supremacy on display in Charlottesville; they must also condemn the man in the White House who […]
Thursday, August 17th: What happened in Charlottesville was a tragedy. And with Donald Trump’s backing of the white supremacists, more tragedies like it will happen unless we do something about it. Trump has already begun encouraging violence by cutting the funds for a group that deals with white nationalist extremists. If Donald Trump is not […]
Monday, August 14th: This has been a traumatic weekend. The horrible act of terror in Charlottesville and Trump’s unwillingness to condemn literal murder by white supremacists and Nazis should serve as a wake-up call. We need to use our voices to protect the people most endangered by Trump’s agenda: African-Americans, immigrants, Muslims, and other people […]
Wednesday, August 9th: We may be heading to nuclear war with North Korea. And Trump’s words are heating up the crisis. Today news arrived that North Korea has gotten closer to developing a nuclear missile that can hit the United States. Trump’s response? He threatened a pre-emptive nuclear strike on North Korea: “North Korea best […]
Every day reveals a new low for the Trump administration. Today Trump’s spokesperson trashed the Statue of Liberty. He tried to argue that the famous poem inscribed on the Statue (“Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…) does not represent the Statue of Liberty’s “true” meaning because it […]
Monday, July 31st: First: CONGRATULATIONS. We did it- we stopped Trumpcare. Obamacare remains the law of the land. And it is all thanks to YOU. It is your activism, your phone calls, your visits to Portman and Latta’s offices, your protests and rallies, that accomplished this remarkable victory. The next big battle will be over […]
Update on the total mess known as the repeal of Obamacare: the straight-up repeal has been rejected by the Republicans (and by Rob Portman- maybe he has finally found his spine)? Republicans are now trying to pass what they call a “skinny repeal,” which basically consists of any amendment that the Republicans can find 50 […]
