Even if factors contributing to rising sea levels were to magically stop today, New Orleans would still become an island within generations.Rather than investing in more levees that will merely postpone (maybe) the inevitable, political leaders of all stripes should be supporting and encouraging a complete revamping of the New Orleans area. It is impossible to keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.We must begin tackling climate change impacts. Throughout history, cities have relocated. Save New Orleans and all of its cultural history by moving the parts that can be saved and encouraging people to relocate. I love New Orleans, but in my lifetime, I will see it disappear. Save what can be saved.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #NewOrleans #ClimateCrisis

I want you and your staffers visit every facility rented or use by ICE, including the temporary spaces that they occupy during this surge. I need you gearing up for oversight and ready to get loud and public.At the May 5 Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Tom Homan said, "You will see more ICE agents than you've ever seen before, so congratulations." I have seen what happens during those surges - massive human rights abuses. We have seen people denied access to phones, lawyers, food, and water. I have seen ICE using office bathrooms as temporary detention facilities, forcing a dozen people to sleep in close quarters on tile floors. During the Minnesota surge, they released people from detention miles from their homes, in the middle of the night in the freezing cold with no phone, no ability to call anyone, no jacket, and no shoes. What are we going to see this time? Will we have people being released in 100 degree heat, miles from home, with no shoes? Will we see refugees and documented asylum seekers again held incommunicado for weeks despite being legally in this country?DHS is gearing up for more abuses. They have not been held accountable for their past abuses. What will you do to hold DHS accountable?#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #ICE #DHS

Anyone notice that he’s desecrating all the national symbols and monuments and turning them into trash? Now the ‘Reflection Pool’ will look like a wading pool. Our national parks are being stripped of protections, and he’s already shit all over our alliances with other nations. Where we once appeared connected, strong and a respected leader among nations, we are now a laughing stock. If you’re not already fighting, wake up before it rolls over you. #Resist

This extra $76 billion of my tax dollars gets paid to for-profit health insurance companies. Study after study has shown that Medicare Advantage, while costing more, does not lead to better outcomes for patients. Medicare Advantage deserves to be completely dismantled, not expanded, as does the new program to use AI for prior authorization in Traditional Medicare Washington state hospitals say their Medicare patients are waiting two to four times longer for procedures that are now subject to prior authorization under a new Medicare program. But this administration of Ballroom Republicans doesn't care about healthcare access or costs for ordinary Americans. Their policies show they only care about their ballroom friends and corporate profits.I want to see you develop better policies that serve every American, not just the rich.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Medicare #Healthcare #BallroomRepublicans

Trump Administration Weighs Citing ‘Emergency’ to Admit More Afrikaners as Refugees Since last year, Afrikaners, the white minority from South Africa, have had the rare ability to seek refugee status.Mr. Trump and his aides have claimed Afrikaners face racial persecution, an assertion strongly disputed by South AfricanNow the administration is considering substantially expanding access for the white South Africans by declaring that an “unforeseen emergency” in that country warrants more than doubling the number who could enter as refugees, according to multiple people familiar with the matter and documents obtained by The New York Times.#trump #resist #afrikaners #refugees

That information came on Wednesday — not from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or from the State Department, which is coordinating the nation’s response to the hantavirus outbreak, but from the medical news publication MedPage Today.It was only a day earlier, on Tuesday, that the agency had set up a team to respond to the outbreak, nearly a month after the first patient had died.It is that the administration’s sluggish response and lack of communication suggest the United States is ill prepared for a larger health crisis, such as another pandemic.#trump #resist #hantavirus #kennedy

Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us Dear Senator / Representative -How are we supposed to respond to the continued lawlessness of the Executive Branch of this Republican Administration?Top Justice Department officials declare that court rulings aren't legally binding and keep going about their business. This Republican Administration calls them “unlawful district court rulings,” saying that the administration will “continue to comply with lawful court rulings.”You and I both know that the Executive Branch doesn't determine what is lawful. That's what courts do. Even the Supreme Court has upheld more than half of the rulings by lower courts, particularly when it comes to rulings related to immigration policy, yet the Executive Branch continues to ignore even those ruling.What is our nation when the Executive Branch ignores the Supreme Court and Congress lets them? With gerrymandering now the rule, not the exception, what recourse do we citizens have?People in my community are losing their healthcare, their jobs, and their ability to keep their families housed and fed while the rich get richer.I want a fair nation, when the most vulnerable among us are taken care of, where everyone has a chance at success.I want to hear your vision, and I also want to hear your plan for holding this administration accountable.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay

Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us Dear Senator / Representative -For the first time since 1946, US national debt now exceeds 100 percent of GDP, according to new Treasury Department data. As of March 31, the total debt was $31.265 trillion, while GDP from 2025 was $31.216 trillion, putting the ratio at 100.2 percent compared with 99.5 percent at the end of the last fiscal year. The US now spends $1.33 for every dollar it collects, and the budget deficit for this year is projected to be $1.9 trillion. The 100 percent milestone is a symbolic marker of a financial question looming over the US.This Republican Administration pays attention to trifles—a ballroom, a royal visit, an Instagram post of sea shells—and not enough to the long term stability of the US economy and the consequences of their chosen war on Iran.Republicans say they want to run the government like a business. When a business runs into debt, they work to generate more revenue. Here is what I want -- enforcement of the existing tax code against the ultra-wealthy and corporations, a tightening of tax loopholes exploited by the ultra-wealthy and corporations, a removal of the Social Security Maximum Income Cap, and a raising of the capital gains tax.Look at the top tax rate in the US from the years 1947 - 1957. This is where we should set the tax rate again.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #TaxTheRich

I am tired of Congress abdicating its responsibility to the American people. I am tired of Congress acting like a lap-dog to this Executive Branch.This war is illegal in three ways: it violates the US Constitution (only Congress can declare war); it violates the UN Charter (which prohibits the threat or use of force except in self-defense against an armed attack); and now it violates the 1973 War Powers Act. There is no "reset" of the limit because of a ceasefire. Congress either approves the war or it doesn't.This war has cost untold billions of dollars. I do not trust the $25 billion estimate from an Administration that regularly lies under oath to the American people. We, the United States, have killed thousands of people. The Department of Defense of this Republican Administration has expended an overwhelming number of our munitions stockpile.I want Congress to do its job: force President Trump to end this deeply unpopular war of choice. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #IranWar

Please copy and paste into the forms on the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-usDear Sen / Rep -I want you to reverse the decision made by this Republican Government to stop funding drug test strips. These test strips - a simple strip of treated paper that can swiftly signal whether a street drug contains deadly fentanyl or other contaminants - not only save lives, they also help get people into drug treatment.I have seen this play out in my community. A public health worker giving test strips to a person addicted to drugs is the gateway to that person receiving more help. One act of care - the giving of a test strip, telling that person that this test strip could save your life - is often the first step into treatment. There is no data to support the claims of this Republican Administration that harm-reduction measures like test strips encourage drug use. The data shows that the distribution of test strips can stave off overdoses and encourages people who use drugs to exercise more caution. Exercising that caution, that pause before using drugs, is what allows harm reduction specialists to make positive ground with those people struggling with substance abuse.I want my tax dollars supporting those who struggling to make ends meet, those who are struggling to keep roofs over their heads, those who are struggling with mental health and substance abuse. A rising tide lifts all boats. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay
