Call 202-224-6542, Hit 3, and than hit any button to call Chuck Schumer and tell him that this DHS budget cannot pass.

If you need any inspiration, our National Press Coordinator @hunterisntdunn.bsky.social, implored Schumer’s office to stop more blood from getting on their hands.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

Call your Senators NOW! You still have the chance to prevent the Homeland Security appropriations bill from passing.

Call 202.224.3121 to be connected to the US Capitol Switchboard or use the 5Calls app to be connected to your Senator's local office.

#calltoaction #politicalrevolution #fuckICE
Call to action! Seven House Democrats voted to approve billions in ICE funding. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (North Carolina), Laura Gillen (New York), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington), and Tom Suozzi (New York) What's next? The Homeland Security appropriations bill allots $64 billion more for DHS and $10 billion more for ICE. With the bill passing the House, it now moves to the Senate, who has to pass the measure by January 30th to avoid another government shutdown. You have a week left to urge your Senators to vote NO. What you can do: There’s still time to urge Congress to defund ICE. Call the US. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. They will direct you to your Senator’s office. Or, you can use 5Calls to your Senator’s local office. It will even provide a short script for you to follow. There's still time to act! Leave a voicemail today. Start calling on Monday. You still have time to influence the vote. It’s easy to feel powerless as individuals in the face of tyranny. However, we can make a difference when we build community and act together. Our strength lies in each other.

When a government publicly broadcasts the internment of a segment of the population. It isn’t just detaining people. It’s training the public.

From “Broadcast Internment
The Conditioning of the American public” by @kalendionpoetry.bsky.social

Full text: substack.com/@kalendion/n...
What is happening in the United States mirrors early stages of an escalation pattern. People being framed as threats rather than human beings. Detention justified as a deterrent. Oversight weakened. Due process suspended. Families torn apart. Every step of the process publicly broadcast. Kalen Dion

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The #BlackFriday weekend blackout isn't just about the bottom line - it's also about protecting the environment. Join us Nov. 27th to Dec. 1st.

But, don't stop there. Continue showing retailers that #WeAintBuyingIt throughout the holidays and give back to your community instead.
Image of a megaphone next to the words "We ain't buying it". Text reads "Boycotting Black Friday isn’t just about hurting the bottom line of giant retailers and supporting your local community. It’s also about fighting climate change." Logos for Political Revolution and 50501 are in the bottom left corner, alongside the website weaintbuyingit.com Title: Invisible Impact. Text: With $10.8 billion spent last year on Black Friday alone, the contribution to climate change is massive. However, it’s rarely talked about or even reported on. Companies are already shady about how they impact the environment. And holiday sales are a major part of that. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos. Title: The Numbers. Text: Forget prices, these are the numbers we should focus on slashing: Image of a stack of boxes next to the text: In 2023, approx. 429,000 TONS of CO2 were emitted from Black Friday order deliveries. Image of a hand clicking on a Refund button next to the text: Logistics company Optoro stated that 1.2 billion gallons of diesel were used to return sale items. Image of a dump truck full of garbage next to the text: An estimated 80% of electronics, clothing, and plastic packaging will be thrown away, most likely ending up in a landfill. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos. Title: The Apologists. Text: Consumers may think that participating in Thanksgiving weekend sales means they are helping stores sell off old stock so that it doesn’t end up in landfills. This simply isn’t true. There wouldn’t be so much overstock to sell if companies made less product and consumer demand was lower. The irony is that the majority of Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases will end up in the landfill anyway. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom. The dates November 27th to December 1st are centered above weaintbuyingit.com between the logos.

Don't let these Democratic Senators get away with this. Healthcare premiums will skyrocket if the subsidies aren't extended, and millions of Americans will suffer if the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid aren't overturned.

Do not let them rest.

#PoliticalRevolution
Eight Democrats Cave to the GOP’S Budget. Don't let them forget. On Sunday, November 9th, after 40 days of government shutdown, 8 Democratic senators buckled and agreed to a “compromise” bill to reopen the government. While it reinstates funding for SNAP and guarantees backpay for furloughed federal workers, the primary issue that Democrats fought for, extending ACA healthcare subsidies, was not secured. The only concession by the GOP is a guaranteed vote on them in December. The bill only funds the government through January 30th, 2026. Given that Congress is Republican majority across the board, it is highly unlikely the subsidies will pass, rendering the Democrats’ stand completely fruitless. Political Revolution logo and website are on the bottom. Visit pol-rev.com The senators. The following 8 senators have failed Americans. They must answer for this. Do not let them rest - call, email, snail mail them. Make sure that come their time for re-election, they are primaried out of the race. Jeanne Shaheen - New Hampshire - Retiring in 2026 Maggie Hassan - New Hampshire - Re-election in 2030 Dick Durbin - Illinois - Retiring in 2026 Tim Kaine - Virginia - Re-election 2030 Angus King - Maine - Re-election in 2030 Jacky Rosen - Nevada - Re-election in 2030 Catherine Cortez Masto - Nevada - Re-election in 2028 John Fetterman - Pennsylvania - Re-election in 2028 Chuck Schumer is just as guilty as he is reported to have orchestrated the deal. He is up for re-election in 2028. What now? The bill has yet to pass, as the Senate has a max of 30 hours to debates any amendments to the bill and then vote to pass. Voting began at 6pm on Monday. If it passes, it goes to the House of Reps. They will need to vote to approve the bill or offer amendments. If any amendments are made, it will go back to the Senate to vote. Given the Republican majority in the House, the bill will likely not face issues passing. It will then go to Trump’s desk. What can you do? Call your House Reps and urge them to not vote for the bill unless amendments are made that extend the ACA subsidies and restore SNAP and Medicaid funding cut in the Big, Beautiful Bill. Contact Democratic Reps and demand they do not cave as the Senators did. Urge them to offer up amendments that support Americans and revert Trump’s policies. Even moreso, contact Republican Reps and demand they do the same. While it may seen fruitless, you deserve to have your voice heard and the slew of Democratic wins last week may make them more susceptible to pressure. Use the 5Calls app or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 to be connected to your Reps.

When policy and elected leaders betray us, it’s up to the people to do what needs to be done.

If you can give cash to food banks, now is the time. Trust that they know how the stretch the pennies best, giving cash is the best way. Every donation, every share matters.

Billions are available for a new ballroom, ICE, and bailouts. But, when it comes to Americans trying to make ends meet? Trump and the GOP are happy to let them starve.

If your benefits are at risk or you're just looking to help, check out these resources.
The Political Revolution logo is in the top left corner. The title reads SNAP Benefits at Risk for Millions. Text reads: On October 10th, the USDA announced that there would be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits if the federal government shutdown continues. As of October 23rd, 25 states have announced that food aid participants will not receive a check in November. These states include California, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi and New Jersey. Unfortunately, even if the shutdown were to end today, there would likely be a delay before benefits could be distributed. Approximately 42 million Americans (about 10% of the population) rely on SNAP to put food on their tables. We want to provide some resources for those who need food aid and those looking to help.
