Please call your senators and member of Congress to urge them to co-sponsor and vote for all legislation that blocks weapons to Israel and lets humanitarian aid into Palestine (seriously, this takes 2 minutes) act.uscpr.org/a/letaidin
A screenshot of text messages from me saying: “I just spoke with a staffer (a real human being!) of one of our Senators, John Hickenlooper, and demanded that he sign and vote for blocking military support to Israel to be used on Palestinian children and for humanitarian aid to be let in. You can call too: (I used my own words, but you can follow the script that's provided)” [link provided] and another text message from me saying, “I know they'll still probably listen to their donors from AIPAC more than their own constituents, but I think it's still worth calling.” A screenshot of a call script I wrote: “Hello, my name is Andrew Miscimarra, and I am a constituent of yours living in [blank] (zip code: [blank]). I am calling to ask you to co-sponsor, sign, and vote for any and all legislation that blocks armaments sent to Israel to bomb Palestinian children. Please also sign and vote for any legislation that demands that Israel stop their illegal blockades so that all the humanitarian aid sitting at the border can finally reach the million-plus starving Palestinians. I understand that you've stood by Israel in the past, but Israel has gone too far and has objectively crossed the line into genocide territory. I, along with many other constituents, am begging you to now stand with the hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian children that are being bombed, sniped in the head, and starved. Please, prevent Israel from further genocidal actions, for the Palestinian children. Again, please, for the CHILDREN.”

If you’re more worried about “looters & rioters” than you are about the causes that led to those events (ICE kidnapping children, ICE forcibly moving peaceful families, T*ump illegally amassing power, and our leaders facilitating genocides abroad), then you need to get your priorities straight.
A screenshot of a post by @southerncatholicworker on Instagram, with a poignant quote by Karl Marx: "The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!"

The U.S. is quite literally the worst country in the world (yes, even including countries in the Global South) when it comes to parental leave.

Every single world leader, especially the war-mongering, bloodthirtsty neocons, needs to watch this scene over and over again until they understand.

Peace can never come from war. Peace can only come through empathy, compassion, and diplomatic talks.

A photo of The Doctor from a scene of Doctor Who (Season 9 Episode 8) with a written quote from that scene: "When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken, how many lives shattered, how much blood will spill until everybody does what they'll always have to do from the very beginning: sit down and talk!"

To anyone still supporting and defending "Israel," how do you justify this? Were all these children "being used as human shields by Hamas?" The answer is, no, they were not. These beautiful and innocent babies were slaughtered in cold blood by lOF soldiers. (slides from @aljazeera.com @ajplus.net)

@govofco.bsky.social is sooo close to getting it. Do you know why our students are behind? Because we lack the resources and staff to meet their needs. And do you know how we can fix that? By increasing public school funding way more than we have in the past few decades. That’s why we’re protesting
Screenshot of article showing Governor Polis’s statement about the teacher protesting the lack of public schools funding. He stated, “Canceling school at the last minute in several districts on 3/20/25 will put strains and hardships on parents and will leave kids without instruction and many without a safe place to go,” the memo states. “Let’s remember that nearly 70% of third graders can’t read or do math on grade level, and this leaves parents scrambling to find care.” This article can be found at https://www.cpr.org/2025/03/19/polis-teacher-protest-state-capitol-school-closures/

To the Colorado State Government: Fund our public schools to at least $15,000/student! Please, for the children.
Sincerely, a para at a DPS elementary school
