Heather Cox Richardson on the importance of pushing back to your members of Congress…especially the Republican ones.
“If your grandfather were driving a car & repeatedly ran over toddlers, at some point it would be your responsibility to take those keys away.”
“GOP owns this now…The way for gop to recognize that [we] don’t want this is for us to speak up more & more.”
Representative Emmer,
Please work with your colleagues in Congress to pass the Freeze ICE Act. With ICE’s illegal, unconstitutional, and inhumane approach to “immigration enforcement,” Congress must take actions to rein them in and force compliance with laws of the land and the Constitution before allowing any further expansion.
Sincerely, MB

I feel like writing multiple times a day, given the "stuff" that this Administration expels with the frequency and stench of the explosive diarrhea associated with dysentery, but sometimes I can't muster the creative powers I'm so pissed off.
https://5calls.org/issue/dhs-budget-ice-defund/ is a good resource, cuz they have a bunch of templates ready to go.
I wrote both of mine, and I’m pretty sure they’re both already on the right side on this issue.

Are you a US Citizen? This is a call to action to protect the Boundary Waters area in northern Minnesota. Today (1/21/26) the house puts up a vote to bypass the protections that this area has so that a chilean billionaire can mine and destroy the surrounding area and its pristine fresh waters.
Call!

@Lizette603_23 Sincere “thank you for your service!”
I’ve written my (#gop) Rep about 50 times over the past year. ~45 I composed myself and keep a record of it, and ~5 using canned webforms that various NGOs have, which makes it really easy to contact both Senators and my Rep.
When my anger is too much to compose a letter, I just grab some text from 5calls.org, tweak it slightly & fire away.
I posted a few letters here, tagged #WriteYourRep
Write, fax, or #CallYourRep!
Just called Obsequious Emmer’s office to demand that he get ICE out of Minnesota, and impeach Noem.
5calls.org has boilerplate text to use and helps find your members of Congress.

I’ve written his office about 45 times over the past year. He stopped answering, which doesn’t hurt my feelings cuz his responses are uniformly horrible.

Did y'all know that a Bill has been introduced in Congress to imeach Hegseth?
H.Res.935 - Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/935/text)
I harbor no illusions about likelihood of passage during this session, but that shouldn't stop us from making some good noise with our Members of Congress.
