“I agree with New York State Senator Jesse Hamilton. People who call 911 on people of color when there’s obviously no evidence of any wrongdoing are propagating negative stereotypes and wasting the resources of a system that is meant to save lives. They need to understand the seriousness of their act…”

“Knowing what we do about the problems in American society that somehow communicate to people (usually white males) that they have the right to gun other people down, I am horrified that we have now compounded this problem with DIY guns. While people certainly have the right to bear arms, I am confid…”

“I’m horrified at the DoJ’s recent revision of its internal manual for federal prosecutors - they seem to be trying to redefine “justice” right before our eyes. This rollback is an utterly unacceptable. All decent people should be standing strong against this horrible movement toward erasing people’s…”

“Please encourage Dems and reasonable Republicans to kill this bill
A tax plan shouldn’t steal from the poor to give to the rich, so this one is wrong from the start. But it also does so much worse than that: it’s an effort to take our country apart.
A legitimate tax plan wouldn’t attempt to interf…”

“Thank you for the work you’re already doing, but please increase your efforts to ensure that this tax bill doesn’t pass. On principle, a tax plan shouldn’t shouldn’t steal from the poor to give to the rich - we’ve already proven that “trickle down” doesn’t work. And this bill is so much worse than …”

“You must not confirm Bridenstine’s nomination to head NASA. NASA must be led by a scientist, not a politician (especially not a politician that doesn't believe in scientific findings like climate change!). NASA needs to explore scientific advances, including investigating the real and urgent proble…”

We need to focus on education, infrastructure, climate science, healthcare (including reproductive health/PlannedParenthood and Medicare/Medicaid), national monuments, disaster funding (flood/fires), the cen…”

“Arpiao has done racist, unconscionable things and should Not be pardoned. A pardon would be yet another move to very clearly put the President on the side of white supremacists who believe they can ignore the law. It would also undermine the US Justice system in a way that is terrifying to imagine. …”

“Women need to be able to make choices about their own bodies. I will absolutely only vote for pro-choice candidates. I am disgusted that the Democratic Party is debating not having this issue be a core value. If they continue in this direction, they will no longer be able to count on my vote or my d…”

“A border wall is a waste of time and money. It's terrible for the environment, won't improve our security, and continues the fear mongering that is becoming a hideous norm in this country. In no universe do I want ANY of my tax money going toward this atrocity. We need the House to stand up for us, …”

“We need an independent investigation into Russia's interference in the election and with Trump.
Also, ANY Senate healthcare proposal MUST protect people with pre-existing conditions, protect women's healthcare, and protect affordable healthcare for everyone, including our aging population. Furthe…”

“No. See the great comments about how this sets things up for folks in power to be able to classify "terrorist" however they want (protest movements, anyone?), and also those that remind us that the US hasn't managed to suck it up and classify homegrown/white dude terrorism as "terrorism". We don't g…”
