An open letter to the U.S. Congress

January 6 Insurrection

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Please support a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol.

In my lifetime, I have never before been so aware of the date the electoral college votes were formally counted to validate a Presidential election.

The day is well-documented — video, photos, sworn testimony of witnesses and rioters, a noose was hung for then Vice President Pence, elected officials barricaded doors and vacated chambers, the Confederate flag was marched into the capitol, the list goes on — 5 people died, $30,000,000 of damage was done. Watching the events unfold that day, I was terrified for our elected officials, terrified for our democracy and horrified by the unhinged insurrectionists. What have we become?

Please do what is right for our democracy and support a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection.

Tucker Carlson has a few screws loose in some key places, if I recall correctly (am I wrong or was he one of the ones who went for another antisemitic "Jews rule the world!!" conspiracy theory?) but I dunno. The rest of their endorsements make a pretty compelling case here, I think, for a stunningly bipartisan, unifying candidate... Donald Trump. Who'da thunk it?

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

I do love how the celebration of the UHC CEO being killed seems to have spanned the political divide. bipartisan support for the assassin. nothing unites people like someone who made billions preying on sick people getting gunned down in the street

Trump's most famous promise was to make Mexico pay for his squalid and corrupt border wall.

Amount collected from Mexico: 0 centavos.

Trump did give tax breaks to billionaires while giving COVID-19 to much of the rest of the country.

Trump's promises are as worthless as degrees from Trump University.

obsessed with the way the republican party’s two biggest platforms (pro police and anti gun control) literally led to its presidential candidate getting shot at

AN OPEN LETTER to THE U.S. CONGRESS

Fund the Affordable Connectivity Program NOW!

130 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I’m a concerned constituent writing to urge you to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program or ACP. Digital connectivity is a basic necessity in our modern world and the internet must be treated as a public utility. We use the internet to apply for jobs, perform our jobs, receive telehealth medical treatment, and pay bills, and students use it to complete homework assignments. But for millions of people in rural and urban areas, and Tribal communities, the internet is a luxury they cannot afford. Failure by Congress to fund this program will force millions of households already on tight budgets to choose between being able to stay online or potentially losing access to this essential service. If Congress doesn’t act fast, funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program will run out and more than 22 million Americans -- 1 in 6 households -- will lose this vital service. The implications of this will be devastating. In 2019, 18% of Native people living on Tribal land had no internet access; 33% relied on cell phone service for the internet; and 39% had spotty or no connection to the internet at home on their smart phone. The ACP has enrolled 320,000 households on Tribal lands -- important progress. The largest percentage gains in broadband access are in rural areas. Nearly half of military families are enrolled in ACP, as are one in four African American and Latino households. Losing access and training on using computers and the internet will have devastating impacts on all these communities as technology becomes increasingly integral to work, education, health, and our everyday lives. Without moves to address tech inequality, low-income communities and communities of color are heading towards an “unemployment abyss.” The Affordable Connectivity Program has broad bipartisan support because it is working. As your constituent, I am urging you to push for renewed funding for the ACP before it runs out in the coming weeks.

proof that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is a lie:

Canadian news this week claimed Parliament gave a standing ovation for a man who “fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the second World War”

yeah, remind me again. who was fighting against the Russians in World War II?

right.

The House of Commons just gave a standing ovation to a Nazi.

words cannot express how much loathing I have for the current UK government. the people in charge are insatiably cruel and greedy, and they are fully committed to dragging the entire country into becoming a fascist plutocracy.

we don't even have an actual Opposition. there's just an Agreement that the majority of people in this country should be squeezed for money until we crumble into dust. an Agreement that the most vulnerable people in our society should be thrown under the bus to distract from the wholesale scrapping of our infrastructure and social services.

i knew it would probably happen, but there's still a part of me that is shocked that they could be so petty as to block the Gender Recognition Reform Bill. don't even get me started on how the leader of the labour party followed the tory line on the whole thing

Lol no she hasn't. She's categorically stated her continuing support for Israel several times. I don't care about performative boycotts, she's been cosigning everything Biden did the last ten months. Who the fuck is she boycotting, she's the VP of the administration that's invited him lmaooo. If she can't get her party to listen to her now, when they need the votes, she won't do shit when they no longer do.

Y'all keep saying you're voting for not just the President but the administration. This entire Democratic administration is responsible for Israel's genocide of Gaza. There will be nothing left to save by January. I know browbeating vulnerable minorities is your favourite pastime but it will not ever win you one single vote. You are not dealing with a bunch of brainwashed idiots with no principles like you, you are dealing with people who would quite literally rather die than endorse a party that won't stop blowing up children. There is no "less evil" genocider. Kindly spend your time and energy screaming at your pet Zionists to divest from Israel and comply with the ICJ, or prepare to lose in November.

Biden's stepped down for a younger, more competent genocidaire to take his place. Probably think they won't need to change the policy as long as they change the face.

Bipartisan Support Gathers for Anti-Illegal Immigration Bill Honoring Laken Riley

A group of Senate Democrats is preparing to back a bill aimed at strengthening measures against illegal immigrants convicted of theft. This action is expected to enhance the bill’s prospects in the Senate, where a vote will determine its future. At least ten Senate Democrats have indicated they will vote to move the bill forward, which should provide the necessary support to clear a filibuster if…
