CALL TO ACTIVISM @calltoactivism.bsky.social · 9d

Trump is not sending troops to protect anyone: he’s sending them to remind us who he thinks is in charge.

This isn’t about immigration or crime; it’s about control. Using the military to intimidate lawful residents is not strength - it's a power play by a small man.

Donald Trump is not sending us the military to safeguard ICE or anybody else.

This was never about immigration or fighting crime; it's about intimidating and putting fear into lawful residents of our beautiful city, Chicago, and all around America.

Trump did it in front of our eyes.

Within one week:

● Fires an experienced prosecutor for not indicting Comey.

● Publicly urges Bondi to go after Comey.

● Installs his personal insurance lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience.

● Comey indicted.

●Trump celebrates.

Richard Nixon at least tried to cover it up; Donald Trump does it in broad daylight.

I resigned from Trump's DOJ in Feb when I was pressured to drop NYC Mayor Adams' case.

NOTUS reports that since Trump took office, my section, Public Integrity, went from 36 people investigating public corruption to TWO.

Who benefits? Corrupt politicians.

This is very troubling.

The 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices in the U.S. can't continue to build cases against officials who need to be investigated, let alone prosecute new cases on their own.

But Trump doesn't care; the DOJ is now his personal law firm.

The Justice Department Had 36 Lawyers Fighting Corruption Full-Time. Under Trump, It’s Down to Two.

The Public Integrity Section is the latest casualty in the administration’s attacks on Nixon-era good-government reforms.

This is not about James Comey; this is about the fact that Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice as his personal law firm and is not even hiding it anymore.

When Trump tried to force the DOJ to drop the Adams case, I resigned. Now, I’m standing up for our rights and our values by running for Congress.

As we are six days away from our end-of-quarter campaign deadline. Can you chip in just $9 to help us reach our goal?

Jimmy Kimmel roasted FCC chair Brendan Carr the "hard way" rather than the "easy way..."

Nothing to see here; just after Tucker Carlson compared Charlie Kirk's murder to Jesus', he invoked the oldest blood libel that has been used for nearly 2,000 years to persecute the Jewish people.

Tucker Carlson is one of the most hateful, bigoted people on earth.

If you want Charlie Kirk to be remembered for his willingness to engage with people who disagreed with him, why are you using his legacy to silence media voices you disagree with?

Hi, I’m Joel Willett 👋

I'm a former CIA officer. Tulsi Gabbard revoked my security clearance once I was mentioned as a potential candidate.

The Trump machine wants to shut me up, but I won't.

"A complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective—not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally."

BREAKING: A federal judge has tossed Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday in Florida, who was appointed by President George H. W. Bush, didn't mince words in his ruling:

BREAKING: Ryan Mackenzie just voted to continue the attack on everyday Americans' healthcare; he prefers a government shutdown over working across the aisle for the good of the people in PA07.

When I get to Congress, I'll work for my constituents every day, not for Donald Trump.
