Can't make it downtown in person? No problem! You can contact your two senators and your representative in Washington by sending one email that reaches all three. Just let democracy.io do the legwork for you. Simply enter your address to get the names of your senators and your representative.
Please get the word out that in addition to all the pain caused by the trump administration's cruel DOGE cuts and hateful acts against immigrants, they are also destroying science and the spark of inspiration for the next generation of explorers #NASANeedsHelp #Science #STEM #ScienceSavesLives #NASA

Markwayne Mullin never served in the U.S. military - no enlistment, no deployment, no combat.
Yet he talks about the “smell of war” and hints at secret missions, letting people think he’s a combat veteran.
The Washington Post called it "implied valor".

Maduro is a dictator and Venezuelans have fled for decades. But Trump’s actions aren’t about human rights or election results. They’re about control of Venezuela’s oil. He just proved he’ll use blatant lies as a pretext to seize leaders who won’t comply.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Days later my grandma-in-law gave her apple pie with a card: “Now you’re as American as apple pie.”
If you’re not Native, you’re from immigrants. Punishing law-abiding immigrants is just white supremacy.

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.
