Sign this petition to end the filibuster

Urgent! Today Senate Republicans did what we all expected them to: blocked a crucial bill protecting voting rights from moving forward.   If Democrats got rid of the filibuster, this wouldn't be a problem, because Democrats could move the bill forward on their own.   Fru…

1,000 forgotten deaths

Tragic The Pacific Northwest heat wave this past summer killed over 1,000 people.   Climate change killed those people.   And somehow — while their families continue to grieve — policy makers and the media have forgotten about them.   The whole show — this whole rotten p…

Re: Secret police

Below my signature is an email I sent a few days ago. It was about Trump’s secret police in 2020, and how the surveillance state has grown under both Republicans and Democrats.   In Congress, I will push to end the surveillance state and the endless abuses of civil libe…

"This isn't what we marched in the streets in the '70s for."

I was talking with a supporter on the phone yesterday and she said something I’ve heard a lot, articulated in different ways. She said: "This isn't what we marched in the streets in the '70s for."   She was talking about the Republican attack on women’s rights, reproduc…

Secret police

Hi John,   Last year in Portland, federal agents in unmarked vans snatched protestors off the street without a word and took them away for questioning. The protestors weren’t told why they were being held or if they were even under arrest.   That was dangerous, secret-p…
