Reject the current budget because of cuts that will harm everyday Americans
Text SIGN PPXOSO to 50409 — I urge you to reconsider the timing and approach for finalizing the budget bill. Holding crucial meetings at 1 a.m. raises concerns about transparency and due process. Legislating on matters that significantly impact Americans' lives should occur through open, accessible proceedings during reasonable hours. The divisiveness within the Republican party and the bill's projected $4 trillion addition to the deficit over the next decade are alarming. I implore you to prioritize fiscal responsibility, bipartisanship, and the wellbeing of all constituents rather than partisan interests. The American people deserve a responsible, carefully deliberated budget crafted through a fair and inclusive process in the light of day.

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.
What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is that her detention was caught on camera.
What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.
Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

The video is horrifying. ICE is fucking evil.
ICE kidnapped another student.
This time a grad student at Tufts, Rumeysa Ozturk. Turkish national, in the United States on a student visa. Her lawyer does not know where she is being held.
Rumeysa wrote op-eds criticizing the university's response to student demands on Gaza.
