I’m not sure if the church has posted the video of the whole ceremony, but it was lovely and made your realize that we have inherited this country, flaws and all, and it is our duty and our right to fight for it! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! It’s a goal. We can do this!

Criticizing those of us on the Left who are angrier now than they were before the election, is like complaining about passengers on the Titanic for getting irritated post-iceberg.

Dear President Trump, Elon Musk, and Congress:

Let's cut from the left jar, not the right ones.

Big Oil spent $445 million on the 2024 congressional and presidential election cycles. That's absurd.

Congress must unravel the alliance between wealth and political power. It’s time to ban PAC and lobbyist spending and overturn Citizens United.

Eighty-eight years ago, FDR warned of an economic aristocracy that sought to dominate not just our markets, but our democracy.

Today, we must again stand up to the unholy alliance of wealth and power.

We must oppose Trump's efforts to silence and criminalize activists. afsc.org/newsroom/we-...
Graphic with black background and white text that reads: Last night the Trump Administration issued an executive order attempting to criminalize and silence people protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The order calls for the deportation of students involved in protests and instructs the Justice Department to aggressively prosecute pro-Palestinian activists. This is a clear infringement on freedom of speech and expression, which are essential components of democracy. It is imperative to defend these rights not only because we support anti-genocide activism but because of the potential ramifications for civil society as a whole. For the past 15 months, millions of people – of all religions, races, and backgrounds – have taken to the streets in the U.S. to demand a permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo on Israel. Under the guise of stopping antisemitism, the Trump administration is ignoring the very real antisemitism that overwhelmingly comes from white nationalist extremists who target both anti-Zionist Palestinian and Jewish activists. As a Quaker organization that has worked for decades to support peace and justice in Palestine and around the world, we strongly oppose this order and any effort to persecute and silence those speaking out against injustice. And we will continue to work in solidarity with student movements and call for an end to genocide and occupation.
