We Want CLEAN GREEN ENERGY.
The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

Vermont Governor, Phil Scott, rejected a request from Trump to deploy the state's National Guard to Washington, D.C., as part of a federal crackdown on crime. This was the second time in recent months that Scott, a Republican, declined a request for the state's Guard.

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

The Secretary of HHS does not accept that germs cause illness. The logical conclusion of that is the worst pseudoscience of all: eugenics. He believes that it is not germs that cause illness, but personal failure (or if you're Chinese or Jewish he thinks bioweapons were designed to avoid you).

When you say “covid is over” or refer to the pandemic only in the pastense you make it easy for RFK jr to withhold the vaccines & defund clinics. You make it easy for employers to end paid sick days. When you don’t mask up you make it easy to pass bans. We organize but what you do & say matters too.
