When calling your Senators and Representatives to vocalize your concerns, here are a few tips:

1) Be specific - limit the interaction to one concern per call and/or email
2) Have notes - stay on topic
3) Request a response
4) Ask for action items

You can call multiple times/day.

This happened in Chicago on Monday, October 6th, 2025

Why is ICE physically taking down a person without probable cause? This agent took him down using a choke hold and slammed him on the cement! And the guy never touched the agent! What is happening in our country?

For Monday of Banned Books Week, we explore the Comstock Acts, enacted in 1873 and 1909. While we tend to think of this federal law today in terms of efforts to restrict access to birth control and abortion medications, they originally targeted literature as well. (Thread)

Q
What Are the Origins of the Comstock Act?
In 1873 - at the behest of anti-vice crusader, Anthony Comstock - Congress enacted a law banning the interstate mailing and receiving of
"obscene, lewd, or lascivious" writings, or "any article or thing designed or intended for the prevention of conception or procuring an abortion." In 1909, Congress enacted a similar law banning the use of express company or common carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to mail
"any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for preventing conception or producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use." These laws came to be known collectively as the Comstock Act. The scope of what constituted obscene or lewd material was far broader at the time, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Comstock Act was used to prosecute a wide array of violations. How the Comstock Act became inactive for books
• Passed in 1873: The original Comstock Act made it illegal to send "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" materials through the U.S. mail, which was interpreted to cover a broad range of publications, including anatomy books and classic literature.
• Obscenity standard narrowed: Over decades, court rulings progressively narrowed the scope of what is considered legally obscene, limiting the act's reach. Key Supreme Court decisions, including Roth v. United States (1957) and Miller v.
California (1973), established a more precise definition of obscenity, making it much harder to prosecute the mailing of books.
• Free speech protections: Subsequent First Amendment challenges further protected free speech rights, rendering the Comstock Act obsolete for censoring non-obscene publications.
As a result, the mailing of most magazines and books is now considered common and legal.
• Modern focus is different: Today, enforcement of the Comstock Act's obscenity provisions is focused almost exclusively on child and violent pornography.

I'm sorry, did he say the House has nothing to do? They are still in session getting paid, even with the government shutdown.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva, and stop lying.

It'll be awhile then.

Intelligence gathering
Talk/ interrogate family and associates
Get them to testify

The main issue is he's doing everything in plain sight and still nothing is done.

So do I, but I'm trying to reign in my swearing. Not sure it'll stick!😅
kamimagic.bsky.social
That sounds accurate.

We need to think in steps, like chess.

1. Vote out the GOP
2. Find candidates who will do what they say and help to get them elected
3. All elections are important: local, county, state, federal
4. Get involved and stay involved

I'm one of the 47% who voted for Kamala then, and I'm happy I did. I'm looking to vote out/ fire officials with my voice (a.k.a. my vote) in every election we have.

I'm not sure.

Another question is, where are the boats? They are flying home or back to Greece, but who has the boats the sailed in on?

Ugh! When will he leave?

This speech he did? So strange!

I how so, the ICC issues a warrant for his arrest, but I don't believe he'll fly near that area.

He and his administration want to start something.

Yet, there are people who will believe his bull 💩.
