Agency Is Intentional "Agency is not rebellion. It’s not anger. And it’s not permission. Agency is the ability to choose and act without waiting to be told it’s allowed. Understanding agency changes how you see responsibility, control, and your own role in the world." standardsnotforce.org

This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

Make it make sense. Donald Trump keeps trying to restrict mail-in voting — but just voted by mail for the SECOND time this year. Clearly, the “problem” isn’t election integrity. It’s who gets to vote.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to restrict mail-in voting for everybody else — while he’s sitting at home voting by mail himself? He's literally urging Republicans to withhold TSA agent’s paychecks until they pass his voter suppression bill — the so-called “SAVE America Act”.

It’s Equal Pay Day — and for the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is moving in the wrong direction.   In 2026, women are still making just 81 cents on the dollar for the same work. That’s unacceptable.   Same work. Same pay. It really is that simple.

Born in the USA: Defending Birthright Citizenship | American Civil Liberties Union
President Trump has targeted immigrants since his first day in office, and his efforts to eliminate birthright citizenship are at the center of his cruel agenda to redefine who gets to be an American. But the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born in the United States — and President Trump is not above the Constitution.

ACLU of Washington @acluwa.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
Birthright citizenship has been a fundamental right in our country for over 150 years. President Trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship are part of a broader effort to redefine who belongs in our country — we refuse to let that happen.
Black graphic with white text that reads "Birthright citizenship, noun. The principle that every baby born in the United States is a U.S. citizen, regardless of race, color, or ancestry. It is guaranteed by the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. It ensures that: Every child born in the U.S. has the same rights (with the narrow exception of children of foreign born diplomats) 
Politicians do not get to decide who among those born in our country is worthy of citizenship" ACLU-WA logo at the bottom.
