This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
Anyone else feel the "SAVE act" should be the "anti-family" or "MAGAs against marriage" act?
🤔
The "married women should pay extra to vote" act.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.

OPPOSE the "Save act" voter suppression. Then offer FREE passports to all US citizens. Once everyone has had a year to get their FREE, lifetime with NO FEES, passports, then Congress can revist this ridiculous waste of time and money. Voting should be FREE. Voting should be encouraged for all adults of sound mind. Election day should be a holiday. Transportation to polls should be free.
No #SaveAct
Voting shouldn't be expensive!
Protect the 22nd amendment! Defend the Constitution. No additional terms for a president.
Used @resist.bot to tell my Congressional representatives to protect the Constitution and the 22nd amendment- no Third Term president!

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

The US Surgeon General needs to be an actual MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. One who graduated near the top of their class from an accredited MEDICAL COLLEGE in the United States and then practiced medicine in the United States successfully for at least a decade. Community involvement, such as free clinics, would be excellent. Service in the United States military would be a bonus. Real experience in reproductive health care would be incredibly beneficial. Genuine, first-hand experience helping the transgender community with transitions would be incredible, given the SERIOUS lack of information and knowledge on the topic by current government officials. But an actual, licensed, medical professional is an absolute mandatory minimum. Please keep incompetence OUT of office.
It may not make a difference
But I used @resist.bot to ask my Congressional Representatives to get a qualified US Surgeon General.
HERO 🔥
And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.
Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”
Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

Post from The Resistance Erin of OutFront CNN And Darrigo Melanie
Congress is meant to protect and serve the PEOPLE of the United States. Including the LGBTQIA community, those who support immigration, those opposed to capitalism, and people who see American Values as shifting, changing, and able to alter as society progresses. The majority of our Democracy has lost faith and confidence in the current president, but that is not a crime nor is it punishable by any agency of the United States. (It happened to Nixon, and a solution was brought about without unleashing any "dogs of war" on the public.) You must uphold the Constitution. Support the people, especially your constituents. Let no one break those bonds.
The Resistance shared thoughts from @darrigomelanie.bsky.social about the US Government coming for its people.
I used @resist.bot to message my Congressional Representatives.
There's a real possibility I won't survive the current administration. A lot of us probably won't.
😔 Rome once fell too.

I am writing to echo the words of Rep. Melanie Stansbury: No new wars! Not in Iran, not anywhere else. The American people do not want this. But, you know what they do want? Healthcare, housing, good-paying jobs, and accountability. Bombing Iran is not that. I'd like to add: Voting rights protected (even if someone gets married and changes their name -- there shouldn't be an extra fee or step to vote as punishment for marriage!), and the pedophiles and sex trafficking monsters in the Epstein Files need to be locked up. Unlike the innocent children ICE is hurting in those horrible places, the evil people named in the Epstein files actually belong in those detention centers.
Used @resist.bot to contact my Congressional Representatives.
