Nothing good can come from political violence. It doesn't matter where you stand politically—it's a cancer that needs to be rooted out.

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Congress is back from recess, which means your lawmakers are back at work voting on bills that affect you 🫵
The SAVE Act is one of those bills: which proposes to require proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate or passport) to register to vote.

Washington, D.C. is not just the government. There are over 700,000 people just like you who call it home. All people have the right to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods.
But Donald Trump doesn’t care about other people, and he doesn't care about keeping other people safe.

I'm at a local Indivisible mtg & there was debate about different causes/approaches under the democracy umbrella. I'm reminded of the insightful quote from @mauricewfp.bsky.social:

No one voted to kick 17 MILLION people off their health care.
No one voted to RAISE the cost of groceries.
No one voted to give handouts to BILLIONAIRES.
Donald Trump and Republicans just sold out working people.
This is a gut punch — but we will NOT stop fighting back.

I’m eternally grateful for great representation like @warren.senate.gov but I’m scared and horrified for this country - everyone who voted for this bill is completely out of touch with everyday working people.
After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.
