#CallYourReps

Today's ideas for calling your representatives:

1. Demand that Congress block Trump's ability to levy tariffs.

2. Demand investigation and an end to unconstitutional detainment and deportations. ICE must follow due process and respect human rights, or no one is safe.

3. Tell them to vote against the SAVE Act, and to protect our right to vote.

“We call on the administration to cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science, and we urge the public to join this call. Share this statement with others, contact your representatives in Congress, and help your community understand what is at risk. The voice of science must not be silenced. We all benefit from science, and we all stand to lose if the nation’s research enterprise is destroyed.”

👉 Tell them that Trump's attack on the Smithsonian and history is shameful.

Why should White people be ashamed of what our fellow Black citizens have accomplished? Or what women have accomplished?

Many MSM articles avoid addressing the full depth of depravity in Trump's executive order, this one is better written:

Today's ideas:

👉 Attorney General Pam Bondi and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson are both threatening to end courts and get rid of judges that rule against Trump. Let your senators and congressperson know this must never happen.

- ICE has taken another student and transported her across state lines in direct violation of court orders.
Rumeysa Ozturk is a doctoral student at Tufts University, and again, no evidence that she has supported Hamas. The House and Senate need to stop ICE from illegally seizing people without valid charges.

- I also called my congressperson in the House specifically to support NPR and PBS as Marjorie Taylor Greene launches her investigation.

- Now we've learned that Trump's top people have also left their contact information strewn about online, even some passwords. That's plenty of information for foreign governments to have already hacked their phones. Investigate. This is the US, these people must be removed from our government.

DER SPIEGEL · Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard: Private Data and Passwords of Senior U.S. Security Officials Found OnlineBy Patrick Beuth

#CallYourReps

Today I called my senators and congressperson to say:

- We're not at war with Yemen, yet Hegseth bombed a civilian apartment complex, potentially killing dozens of innocent families in hopes of taking out one person that our administration doesn't like. I'm not fluent in international law, but that sounds like a blatant crime against humanity to me. Investigate and get everyone involved out.

The Atlantic · Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on SignalBy Jeffrey Goldberg

1/2
Three reasons to #CallYourReps today.

1. Congress needs to demand accountability for the Signal fiasco.

(questions we need answered: If the Signal chat wasn't classified, why not release it to the public? Why deliberately break the law to block communications from being archived? Who else in Trump admin is doing this?)

2. Trump's executive order demanding states require "proof of citizenship" for voting is meant to block legal voters. It's not ok.

I'm starting a new hashtag, #CallYourReps to encourage and support US voters who want to stop Republicans and the Trump administration from destroying democracy and wreaking global havoc.

I'm no political genius, but we don't need to be political geniuses to be heard. I'll stick to simple topics and ideas for people who just feel a little awkward and aren't sure where to start or what to say.

I hope others will chime in, too.

🚨 They Want to Erase Us. 🚨

This isn’t about “concern” or “debate.” This is a full-scale attempt to erase transgender people from the United States.

📞 We need EVERYONE to call their legislators.

Download the 5 Calls app and demand they vote against anti-trans legislation.
Speak up NOW—before it’s too late.

Trans rights are human rights. No one is free until we all are.

Autistic Self Advocacy Network has a "proxy caller" system set up with volunteers, for people who can't make phone calls due to a disability!

They will make calls FOR you if you want to call your Congresspeople about one of the action alerts on their site. You do have to agree with their position on the issue (for example, "yes, we should protect Medicaid") for them to call for you.

Disclaimer: I just learned about this, and I haven't tried it. You can look at the info they've posted here:
