In school I learned that Progress REQUIRES Change. #62milliongirls don't have that chance. #LetGirlsLearn!

Honestly, you have more than enough leases. NO new bids in Arctic Refuge! Safeguard Arctic wildlife. Opt NOT to drill. #ArcticDayofAction2026

Doesn't DOJ's explanation seem to fly in the face of the Oath of Office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” In fact, it seems trump violated his Oath of Office in pardoning the insurrectionists to begin with!

Israel is aggressor, destabilizing the Middle East, razing Gaza, supporting guerrilla terrorist "settlers" in West Bank attacks, slaying Iranian leaders, now attacking civilians in Lebanon. Europe must lead to end Israeli violence. @GiorgiaMeloni @EmmanuelMacron @_FriedrichMerz

Trump is unhinged and threatening war crimes. I would hope every Democrat would be demanding Congress return and pass a WPR to end the Iran conflict before trump does more damage to the world and the US reputation.

The LA County Fire Dept deployed their international urban search & rescue team, known as USA-2, to Jamaica to help respond to Hurricane Melissa. USA-2 is made up of 34 people & 4 canines—and is one of only two international urban search & rescue teams in the entire country!

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program serves 16 million children, 1.2 million veterans, and—contrary to what some Republican politicians suggest—zero undocumented immigrants.

Keep kids FED! Support SNAP during the shutdown—and always!

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Happy International Peace Day! Our greatest First lady said it best: “It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.” - Eleanor Roosevelt, US delegate to the UN

Let's hear it FOR the 19th Amendment! And while we're at it let's support the Equal Rights Amendment, too!

19th Amendment, granting US women right to vote, takes effect in 1920; ERA fully ratified (but blocked by trump) in 2020.

@vons What happened to your 4U coupons?? I even searched on your site and got 'No search results for "just 4 u coupons"' and the link for your ad is missing too. Seems WEIRD.

Chevron owes over $50 billion in damages for polluting communities from Ecuador to Richmond – and has paid almost none of it.
This May 21-22, stand with frontline leaders on #AntiChevron Day and demand justice.

@CACleanMoney @SenCervantes @SenatorUmberg @BenAllenCA @MoniqueLimonCA @CACommonCause @LWVC "Citizens United" was a Big Money mistake. Public financing of campaigns will empower voters and let good candidates compete against billionaire-backed candidates. We need to rectify the error and return elections to the constituents.

[Kae Bender @KaeBender]

@CACleanMoney @SenCervantes @SenatorUmberg @BenAllenCA @alex_lee @CACommonCause @LWVC I hope everyone is noticing that Big Money is just making elections outrageously expensive. "Citizens United" was a BIG mistake. The only way to return elections to the constituents is to turn down Big Money and make elections affordable and sane.

The Juliana 21 have fought their own government long enough. It’s time for SCOTUS to clarify the role of the courts and LET THE YOUTH BE HEARD! #YouthvGov #SaveJuliana
