Support Major Jason Watson Here

Major Jason Watson could lose the career, retirement, benefits, and future he spent 17 years building.

As of now, his defense fund has raised over $220,000 from more than 5,200 people who understand what he risked.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July.

While this country celebrates freedom, let’s make a point together.

Let’s show him, and the country, that what he did is worth more than what he might lose.

Let’s show that true patriotism isn't blind loyalty to power, it's standing up when something is wrong.

Support his defense fund. Share his story. Make sure he knows he's not standing alone.

We have added his fund link here:

Major Jason Watson, thank you.

Active-duty U.S. Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the steps of the U.S. Capitol after calling for the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump.

This was an act of courage and civil disobedience. The Capitol steps are open to the public, but protesting there is prohibited and Watson was arrested by Capitol Police after standing there with his message.

Major Watson is an active-duty service member, he understands the rules, the risks, and the possible consequences of making a public political statement like this.

When someone who swore an oath to defend the Constitution is willing to put his career on the line to demand accountability, Congress should not be looking away!!!

Thank you, Major Watson, for your service and for standing up when so many people in power are refusingto.

The oath is not to Donald Trump.

It is to the Constitution.

Boycott them all.

Protesters have been slowing down business at Tesla Diner in Hollywood EVERY Friday and Saturday night since it opened in 2025

Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, waved a chainsaw on stage like it was a joke. It wasn't, not for some of the poorest people on earth, who lost food, vaccines, and medical care when DOGE gutted USAID. Now he wants your money at Tesla, X, and everywhere else he runs.

Boycott them all.

Metropolitan Detention Center update

For a full year, every Tuesday, the Godmothers of the Disappeared have gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center… to pray, protest, sing, and demand that our government answer for the brutalities of ICE.

​

This week, organizers have launched a sustained, week-long occupation of the Federal Courthouse in Los Angeles, demanding accountability for deaths in custody and inhumane treatment, and standing in solidarity with hunger strikers facing retaliation.

Be part of disrupting the machine and refusing to be quiet 🔊

Forest to possibly lose major protections 🌲

🚨 Tens of millions of acres of national forest land could lose major protections.

Today, Senator Mike Lee moved to attach a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act that would remove Roadless Rule protections from large areas of national forest land.

These protections help keep wild forest areas from being opened up to new roads, logging, and development.

Wildfire prevention is really important but quietly rolling back major public lands protections through a wildfire bill shouldn't happen without public attention. 🔊

This is not law yet, but it moved forward today. Now is the time to speak up and contact senators.

A Year Outside the Detention Center

For a year straight, activists, protesters, legal observers, and members of the press have maintained a 24/7 presence outside the Metropolitan Detention Center.

The First Amendment protects free speech and protest. What is happening now is not a sudden escalation or a change in tone. It is the predictable result of people witnessing the same harm, day after day, while those with the power to act choose not to.

People who have not been convicted of violent crimes are being held for months while their lives outside fall apart. Some are pregnant. Some are disabled. Some are children and infants. They lose jobs, homes, stability, and time they can never get back. They miss births, graduations, funerals, and final moments with loved ones. Some become seriously ill. Some die. Across ICE detention facilities, hunger strikes have repeatedly emerged as a last resort for people who feel they have no other way to be heard. No society that claims to value human dignity should accept these conditions as normal.

As patience runs out, people are bringing their demands directly to the institutions responsible: city councils, corporate offices, and the headquarters of companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic, as well as the banks and technology firms that keep supporting this system while pretending they're not part of it.

People love to say, "It's the law."

The people searching for Anne Frank were enforcing the law, too.

213-211 | ICE Funding

The House just voted 213–211 to advance S. 2, the Secure America Act, a nearly $70 billion immigration-enforcement funding bill.

This is not final passage yet. It was a procedural vote to move the bill forward, which means there is still a narrow window to apply pressure before the final vote.

The bill would provide roughly $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and additional DHS funding through 2029, with limited enforceable oversight attached.

Action step: Call your U.S. House representative now! 🔊

Recent good news

We needed some good news:

Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund is on ice after backlash from both parties. The fund could have sent taxpayer money to Trump allies, including people involved in January 6 cases.

A federal judge blocked part of Trump’s attempt to break up NCAR, one of America’s major climate and weather research centers.

The House voted 215–208 to stop Trump from continuing military action in Iran unless Congress approves it. That's how it's supposed to work.

A court said the Pentagon can't kick out transgender troops who are already serving while the case continues. They can keep doing their jobs, (for now.)

Another judge said states can keep fighting Trump’s attack on gender-affirming care. The case is about whether the DOJ tried to scare doctors and hospitals away from providing care.

And a judge ordered Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center. The court said only Congress can rename it.

Pressure works, keep up the good trouble!

House Passed War Powers Resolution

🚨 BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to halt U.S. military action against Iran.

The vote was 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats.

This does not automatically end the war today. The resolution still goes to the Senate, and Trump is expected to fight it. But this is still significant: Congress is asserting its constitutional role over war powers after months of military action that was never formally authorized by Congress.

🚨 Black communities are being targeted! 🚨

After the Supreme Court weakened a key part of the Voting Rights Act, Senator Marsha Blackburn is already calling for Tennessee lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional map and eliminate the Memphis-based district that protects Black political representation.

Memphis is a majority-Black city.

That means politicians are looking at this ruling and immediately asking how they can use it to weaken Black voting power.

This is the domino effect voting rights advocates warned about.

First Louisiana.

Now Tennessee.

Next could be any state where politicians see an opening to carve up Black and brown communities, dilute their votes, and call it “partisan strategy.”

🚨 THIS IS RACISM. 🚨

This is political power being stripped from communities that fought for generations to have a voice.
