This decision effectively erases a key provision of the Voting Rights Act and opens the door for unchecked racism through redistricting across the country. The Supreme Court has determined that voters of color no longer have the right to a fairly drawn map—from school districts to congressional districts—and is willing to allow undemocratic, racist maps to determine our future representation. Partisan gerrymandering IS racial gerrymandering. Packing, cracking, and otherwise undermining minority voting strength are the central tools used to achieve Republican political goals. It is how Texas Republicans reconfigured a state where less than 40 percent of its population is Anglo to achieve a congressional map where 70 – 80 percent of its districts will elect the Anglo candidate of choice over the choice of minority voters.There can be no more business as usual.I want every American to have a fair and equal vote.I want you to fix this. I will do what I can in my community, but I need you lead loudly from the front. This racist effort to deny people equal representation must be reversed.There are bills in Congress to do this. Grind Congress to a halt until every Americans has the right to fair representation.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Vote #VRA

https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/nx-s1-5754657/supreme-court-louisiana-redistrictingThe U.S. Supreme Court strikes another severe blow to the Voting Rights ActThe U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along partisan lines, ruled that Louisiana's 2024 election map, which created a second majority-Black congressional district, was "an unconstitutional racial gerrymander."Although the court technically kept Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act intact, Wednesday's decision is the latest in a series of rulings that have all but gutted the landmark 1965 law, which came out of the Civil Rights Movement and protected the collective voting power of racial minorities."This is one of the most important and most pernicious decisions of the Supreme Court in the last century," said Rick Hasen, an election law expert who leads the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA, in an interview with NPR. "What's left of the Voting Rights Act is a hollow shell of what it was before."this is another step in returning the u.s. to the nineteenth century. the decision is obviously political.#trump #resist #supremecourt #votingrights

I saw within an hour of the shooting this weekend, social media erupted with posts in support of a new ballroom.AI deepfakes cause harm, and I want you to start drafting legislation to stop it the use of AI deepfakes and fake human supporters. Boys and men are creating deepfake nudes of female classmates and coworkers. Politically motivated bad actors are making both deepfakes of opposition politicians with malicious intent and creating legions of fake supporters to make people feel outnumbered.I would like you to follow Denmark's example and change US copyright law to ensure that everybody has the right to their own body, facial features, and voice.Everyone has the right to their own body, their own voice, and their own facial features. Changing copyright law is a simple, straightforward way to combat deepfakes and would provide fixed financial penalties that would discourage the generation of deepfakes, force social media to take down the deepfakes, and force payment to the person whose image was used. Let's start getting serious about the harm AI is causing. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #AI

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative. Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-usDear Senator / Representative:.I oppose any tax or private dollars being used to build the Trump ballroom, a monstrosity that would overshadow the White House.I strongly object to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s suggestion that Congress provide $400 million for the ballroom and fund it with “customs fees,” which is another way to say “American consumers and taxpayers.”Graham’s comment -- “I’m convinced if there had been a presidential ballroom adjacent to the White House, the guy would have never gotten in.” – is a logical fallacy. The White House Correspondents Dinner is a private affair, not a White House one.It would be a travesty to allow the proposed ballroom project that dwarfs the White House to proceed. At 90,000 square feet, it would overwhelm the White House, at 55,000 square feet.I urge Congress to mandate restoration of the East Wing to its original design, consistent with the historic character of the White House complex.I want you to hold accountable those who proceeded with demolition or construction work without proper legal authority.To allow this project to proceed continues the trend of allowing this entire Republican administration to ignore legal processes and safeguards.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Ballroom

Just 10 years ago, the ICE annual budget was less than $6 billion. I am against throwing more money at DHS when they continue to abuse people, deny people their due process, and ignore court orders. DHS's violent behavior has not stopped -- the news cycle has moved on from reporting it. DHS's denial of basic due process has not stopped -- the news cycle has moved on from reporting it. DHS's flagrant disregarding of court orders has not stopped - the news cycle has moved on from reporting.I am against DHS's brutal mass deportations. I am against the use of corporate profit-driven prisons to hold people detained by the US government. If the government detains someone, the government has the duty follow due process, to house the people safely in facilities with regular and open inspections, to give them access to lawyers and family members.You have the power to fix this. Please use every procedural tool at your disposal to deny this enhanced budget to ICE and CBP. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #ICE #CBP #DHS

It’s hardly surprising that the mega-corporations and Big Tech treat us all like cattle. That’s capitalism, after all. The fact is, we’ve been sold out by people who prattled on about democracy and elections: people we trusted (even if that was always a daft idea). We should hold them to account. Words like ‘Gulag’ or ‘guillotine’ sound quite different in that context... somehow more appealing. #bigtech #surveillance #resist #siliconvalley #nwo #oss #foss #fediverse

It makes Lady Liberty coins out of gold from Mexican and Peruvian pawn shops and from a Congolese mine that is part-owned by the Chinese government, records show. Some Mint gold has come from a company in Honduras that dug up an Indigenous graveyard for the ore underneath.Congress in 1985 prohibited the Mint from making bullion out of foreign gold because it wanted to insulate the process from human rights abuses, primarily in apartheid South Africa. The Mint has flouted that law, across Democratic and Republican administrations, despite internal warnings.Gold mining funds Sudan’s brutal civil war and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Surging gold prices have helped Venezuela and Iran temper the effects of financial sanctions. Colombia’s biggest cartel, the Clan del Golfo, traffics in gold alongside cocaine — and uses the proceeds to maintain control through murder and bombings.#trump #resist #gold #mint

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 make it clear that the constitutional duty of the Department of Justice is investigating crimes, not enacting political vengeance. I want you to fight the nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General using every procedural tool that exists.Blanche's recent statements - a sitting President has the right to fire attorneys for political reasons and a sitting President should use the DOJ to investigate people with whom he disagrees politically - demonstrate that he is unfit for the office.Jimmy Carter was investigated twice by the Department of Justice while serving as president, once over his relationship with a bank and a second time related to his brother. In both instances, Carter cooperated and was cleared.Ronald Reagan's involvement in the Iran-Contra affair was also fully investigated. Bill Clinton was investigated by federal prosecutors for nearly the entire duration of his two-term presidency. None of these presidents ever fired the prosecutors who conducted these investigations. No one ever suggested that it would be unethical for the prosecutors to continue working at the DOJ. And no attorney general would have had the audacity to suggest that firing them was the right step to take.Todd Blanche, Trump's personal attorney, is unfit to be the Attorney General. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #DOJ

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us Dear Sen/Rep - Our tax dollars are flowing to already profitable companies, and it must stop. Corporations are lining up for $166 billion in tariff refunds for costs that they passed on to the consumer. S&P 500 companies posted record profits in 2025. Walmart posted the highest 12-month sales of any company in the world last year. In the four states that disclose corporate SNAP data (CO, MA, IL, MI) 10,920 Walmart workers and 9,633 Amazon workers were enrolled in SNAP in 2024. Both companies generate sufficient profits to pay workers a living wage and provide full health coverage. The Institute for Policy Studies examined 20 S&P 500 corporations with primarily U.S.-based workforces and the lowest median wages in the index. These companies employ 6.7 million Americans. At 75% of these companies, median pay falls below the Medicaid eligibility threshold for a family of three. At 13 of the 20, median pay also falls below the SNAP income threshold for a family of three. These same 20 companies spent $32.5 billion on stock buybacks in 2024 alone. The wages of these workers could have risen from $29,087 to $59,600. Instead, median pay among the Low-Wage 20 declined in real terms from $30,474 to $29,087. End to corporate stock buybacks. Demand living wages for all workers.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Greed

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends, https://www.congress.gov/contact-us .Dear Senator/Representative - I need you to make a strong stand regarding the president’s unstable behavior. HIs behavior is worthy of impeachment, and I want you collecting evidence, sharing it widely, and engaging firmly with your Congressional counterparts. This president is spending a billion dollars a day on a war he started without evidence of a clear threat to the U.S. This president is acting, according to multiple reports, against the advice of top intelligence, senior military officers, and his vice president. This president has issued profanity-laden threats against the leaders of other nations, including our traditional allies. He is dictating what other heads of state and religious leaders should do and not do. His open encouragement of the US military to commit war crimes is undermining the safety of the members of the US military overseas, and the safety of Americans traveling abroad. Yet, Congressional Republicans have done absolutely nothing to deal with this president's declining ability to conduct the nation’s business. I want accountability. I want every elected member of Congress to remember that they are supposed to serve the people, not the president. Impeach. Now.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Impeach

Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us.Dear Senator/Representative -I object to renewing Section 702 of FISA without modifications to protect American citizens from warrantless surveillance.Clearly the FISA Court is prone to approving requests for surveillance. There were 349,823 surveillance targets in 2025, an increase from about 246,000 in 2022. Although the targets must be foreigners, Americans get swept up in the warrantless surveillance. The Court itself has characterized the FBI’s use of those data over several years as "persistent and widespread" violations. In 2021, there were over 3.4 million known searches on American citizens. According to the Brennon Center, these violations included “warrantless searches for information about a local political party” and searches “when two men ‘of Middle Eastern descent’ were loading cleaning supplies into a truck.” Today we have no idea how many searches – legal or illegal – there might be because the Trump Administration has killed the tool that monitored the searches.Section 702 of FISA needs a clear requirement that searches related to American citizens comply with the Fourth Amendment and occur only with a warrant.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #FISA

Today's message is about a rule change that could result in the eviction of 80,000 families from subsidized housing.

Click on that to type in your comment.Here are sample comments:For decades, HUD has allowed people living in mixed status households to access federal housing subsidies. This new rule would ban entire families from subsidized housing programs if even one person in the household cannot provide proof of their immigration status. This rule change would remove eligibility for housing from those with DACA status who came into the country as infants and children, those in the US on Temporary Protected Status, and those here on work visas, student visas, and visas for survivors of violence. Millions of people in the US lack access to the types of documents needed to prove citizenship. Millions of US citizen children in the United States have one parent who is not a US citizen. This Republican Administration constantly talks about the benefits of a two-parent household, yet this rule change would force families to choose between staying together and becoming homeless or splitting up the family to stay in subsidized housing. I do not support changing the rule. Let families of mixed immigration status retain their access to subsidized housing. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Housing
