Congress is considering a bill that would limit ICE’s authority to deputize state and local law enforcement for immigration enforcement.

Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and end the 287(g) program once and for all.
End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

Here is the censored 60 Minutes CECOT report. In defiance of court orders, Noem sent innocent men to be tortured. Now, they are building these death camps in the US. Don’t let them hide their crimes, share this report.

Excellent article. These are “killings done for entertainment” and are the “wounding of the national soul.” We cannot allow these barbaric murders to continue. Speak out, call all your reps, join boycotts, join something. @lwvva.bsky.social @indivisible.org @aclu.org

This is too despicable to believe. Another new low for a cruel, corrupt, and criminal psychopath. This is the language of genocide.

Today we fight back in a real way. Dozens of organizations have joined in a boycott of Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, a stop of all nonessential spending, or buying from small, local businesses only. Through Dec. 1st, we can do this. #weaintbuyingit #massblackout

Let’s do this! Read Robert Reich’s article below explaining how we end the billionaire takeover state by state.
Virginia friends: is anyone in VA working on this? Now would seem to be the right time to make headway on it!

How to get rid of Citizens United?

Great stuff from fmr. Rep. @ElaineLuria (D-VA02), who tells Trump where to *shove it* on wanting the military to follow ILLEGAL orders; in fact, members of the military MUST obey the law and ONLY follow LEGAL orders. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/tues...
