No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people. We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

California leads the way!
A tweet from FactPost reads: “Gov. Newsom has announced California will be the first state to sell insulin through a state-backed program. It will cost just $11.” Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, California Governor Gavin Newsom standing in front of an American flag; on the right, a close-up of a gloved hand holding a vial labeled “INSULIN (rDNA origin)” with dosage and storage instructions.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions! We had years of warnings. He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged. How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

WHISTLES GUIDE
PEOPLE TO:
• FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS
• CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD
• ALERT NEIGHBORS

NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT

Congress needs to demand transparency re these CDC firings and what happened. I don't think "miscoding" is the reason nearly 50% of those fired were rescinded. Maybe it was the public awareness that programs like global health, suicide prevention, and measles response were being eliminated...

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink. While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief. We don’t treat public servants as pawns.
The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”
