The First Amendment is clear: Presidents can't bully people into silence. But that doesn't stop President Trump from relentlessly trying to censor his critics.
Tell your lawmaker to co-sponsor a bipartisan bill that would protect free speech for all of us.
The Trump administration is trying to bully broadcasters into censorship. Congress must pass the JAWBONE Act and protect our freedom of speech and freedom of press.
Our first MO Boots meeting is in the books!

You know what’s even more comforting than a bowl of oatmeal? Seeing neighbors doing all they can to resist authoritarianism and spread love, not hate! 🪧

There’s a lot going on with the August 4th 2026 amendment. Who is behind it, what do they want, how do billionaires and abortion connect to it?

Six months ago, at least 12 people, including eight children, died during a US attack. The US has never admitted the civilian deaths. Here, the Guardian pieces together what happened that day
Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat.
The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.
