Aug 10, 2026 - NYC Mayor's Office. Here it is on YouTube: It's time Amazon played by the same rules as everyone else - NYC Mayor's Office - Aug 10, 2026 (YouTube)

Description: If it looks like an Amazon delivery, it drives like an Amazon delivery, then it’s an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. ~:~ I’m proud to support the Delivery Protection Act, which would finally regulate subcontractors used by corporations like Amazon to skirt responsibility for workers and street safety. Enough is enough.

Description: Can you spot propaganda before it manipulates you? ~:~ Let's put that media literacy to the test. The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro just dropped the trailer for "Run Hide Fight: Infidels", starring Jonathan Majors as a Delta Force veteran fighting radical Islamic terrorists who take over a college campus. Sounds like hot garbage, right? So let's run the trailer through five common signs of propaganda and see just how many boxes it checks.

Here are the latest r/BlackPeopleofReddit posts with keywords: Propaganda ~:~:~:~ Jonathan Majors ~:~:~:~ Ben Shapiro ~:~:~:~ White supremacy ~and~ White supremacist

DHS is hell-bent on getting something Donald Trump can call a wall built before congressional Democrats or judges can shut them down, and they don’t care what needs to be destroyed along the way. Right now, they’re trying to smash through Big Bend National Park, with bulldozers clearing lands that have been untouched for millennia.

Local officials, business owners, and conservationists warn the regime is going to kill tourism along threatening ecosystems, wildlife, and a national treasure. And organizers are hard at work trying to put sand in the gears. 🗣️ The No Big Bend Wall coalition is asking us to reach out to our members of Congress asking them to object to the project and defund it, with call scripts here, along with signing this petition. 🗣️

DEFUND THE WALL

CBP is also accepting public comments on how this project could affect the environment, cultural resources, and the local economy and community through August 31st. ✍🏽 We can register our opposition by emailing BigBendComments@cbp.dhs.gov with "Big Bend Vehicle Border Barrier System Construction" in the subject line. ✍🏻

TELL CBP NO

Finally, K at We (the People) Dissent (who we can thank for this entire action) has identified multiple contractors working on the project: Barnard Construction, Southwest Valley Contractors, and Fisher Sand & Gravel. 📢 Let’s write, call and email them to voice our disapproval, along with commenting on their social media and review pages. 📢

MAKING DESTRUCTION POSSIBLE

Also in today’s List:

-  David Crowley is the nominee in Wisconsin, and we have a chance at a Democratic trifecta – volunteer to help make it happen

-  Use recommendations from Oath to help maximize the impact of our political donations

-  Michigan added to Vote Forward’s new voter guide campaign, along with free stamp and letter kits

-  This week’s judges to thank
