SIGN THE LETTER

Friends,

Imagine arriving to cast your ballot and finding troops, ICE agents, or armed federal officers standing outside your polling place.

That is not election security. It is intimidation.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to use federal power to interfere in our elections, and members of his administration have refused to rule out deploying armed forces or federal agents to polling locations.

No president should be allowed to turn our polling places into military checkpoints, seize ballots or voting machines, or place armed agents between the people and the ballot box.

Trump may believe he is above the law, but our elections still belong to the people.

Together with others in the movement for freedom over fascism, People Power United is calling on Congress to strengthen protections against military interference and ensure that our elections remain free, fair, peaceful, and administered by civilian election officials.

Take action » Send a letter to Congress: NO TROOPS AT THE POLLS

ADD YOUR NAME

All of us—no matter our race or class, no matter where we were born or who we love—deserve to cast our ballots without fear, coercion, or intimidation. Democracy cannot survive when those in power use armed force to frighten voters, interfere with election workers, or undermine the peaceful transfer of power.

The military serves our country. It must never be used as a political weapon against the people.

Will you send a letter demanding that Congress keep troops and armed federal agents away from our polling places and election materials?

Will you join us to send a letter to Congress and tell them NO TROOPS AT THE POLLS?

No Troops at the Polls

Thanks for taking action!

Good Trouble Lives On

This weekend, you are invited to join a national mobilization for free, fair, and accessible elections through Good Trouble Lives On: Teach! Reach! Preach!

John Lewis taught us that good trouble is not disruption for disruption’s sake. Good trouble is the courage to challenge injustice. It is refusing to look away when people are harmed. It is registering voters when powerful interests want fewer people to participate. It is gathering in community when fear is meant to divide and isolate us. It is speaking the truth when those in power would prefer our silence.

This weekend, we have an opportunity to carry his legacy forward.

We honor John Lewis by educating our neighbors, registering voters, organizing our communities, gathering in faith and solidarity, and protecting the democracy he risked everything to strengthen.

Reach — Saturday, July 18: Join community events, voter-registration drives, votercades, and faith gatherings.

Preach — Sunday, July 19: Participate in faith services and nonpartisan civic education.

Find a Good Trouble Event

Speak up. Say something. Do something.

Democracy belongs to the people. When we move forward together with courage, justice advances—and good trouble lives on.

Why the Grassroots Resistance Can’t Wait

People Power United members believe change is possible because we have seen ordinary people rise, organize, and be a force for progress. Real change does not come from waiting politely, staying quiet, or hoping those in power suddenly grow a conscience. It comes when people speak out, show up, and demand action—because our communities and families cannot wait, and every moment we delay gives injustice more room to tighten its grip on our communities.

📢 America Needs Care, Not More War Spending

Friends, this week we need all hands on deck — and that includes you.

This week, Trump and his enablers in Congress are heading back to Washington, D.C., with one mission: hand even more public money to the war machine while families are being told to survive on less.

This is one of the most corrupt and reckless presidencies of our lifetime, enabled by Republican members of Congress who keep choosing Pentagon waste, defense contractors, lobbyists, and war profiteers over the people they are supposed to serve.

Let’s be clear: a government that can fund bombs can fund health care. A country that can enrich defense contractors can feed children. A Congress that can find billions for war can find the courage to protect communities, house families, lower costs, strengthen public schools, and keep people thriving.

Do not let them tell us there is no money.

There is money. There is plenty of money. The question is who gets it.

This week, Congress must hear from us. No more blank checks for wars no one wanted. No more slashing housing, health care, food assistance, education, climate action, and basic needs while pouring public money into militarization. No more draining our communities to enrich defense contractors and lobbyists.

Join us for Liberty, Justice, Power to the People Take Action Tuesday as we break down Trump’s reckless war spending, Congress’s role in enabling it, and the actions people can take right now to stop blank checks for war.

Friends, our silence is surrender. Action is how we the people take back the wheel.

While families are struggling with groceries, rent, health care, and everyday survival, Trump is demanding more money for militarization, war, and Pentagon waste. Congress has a choice: rubber-stamp another massive war budget or stand with the people who are tired of being told there is no money for care, food, housing, schools, climate action, and dignity.

As America marks 250 years, this moment demands that this country live up to the values it claims to hold: liberty, justice, democracy, accountability, and government of, by, and for the people. Across generations, ordinary people have stood up to kings, tyrants, robber barons, segregationists, authoritarians, and corrupt leaders who put power and profit over human lives. Now is our time to speak out and show up.

Trump’s War Budget Is Looting America

Friends,

At People Power United, we believe America’s promise means nothing unless it reaches everyone. A government budget is not just paperwork. It is a confession of priorities. It tells us who gets protected, who gets sacrificed, and who gets paid.

As America marks its 250th year, this moment demands honesty about the values this nation claims to stand for: liberty, justice, dignity, equality, democracy, and the public good. For generations, people have stood up to defend those values and refused to let power decide whose lives mattered.

Now it is our time.

Right now, Trump and his Republican allies are telling working families to accept less. Less health care. Less food assistance. Less housing support. Less climate action. Less help for children, seniors, veterans, students, and people just trying to survive.

But somehow, there is always more money for war.

No Blank Checks for Wars No One Wanted

Congress is now considering the National Defense Authorization Act, a massive war-budget bill that would help push total military spending toward a staggering $1.5 trillion for 2027.12 This war budget was introduced just one year after Congress rolled back funding for Medicaid and food assistance — leaving millions without health coverage and more than 4 million people without SNAP benefits. 3 4 5

War over workers. That is the choice they are making.

They cut care.

They cut food.

They cut help for families.

Now they’ve turned around and demanded another blank check for a war, a check separate from the nearly $88 billion Trump is demanding from Congress to further fund a war in Iran that the American people did not ask for, did not need, and should not be forced to pay for.6

We declare: no more blank checks for war while families are being abandoned at home.

A government that can fund bombs should fund health care. A country that can enrich defense contractors should feed children. A Congress that can find billions for war should find the courage to protect seniors, house families, lower prescription drug costs, strengthen public schools, and keep people alive.

Do not let them tell us there is no money.

There is money. There is plenty of money in the richest country on earth. The question is who gets it.

Right now, too many politicians are choosing military contractors over Medicaid, war spending over food assistance, and billionaire giveaways over working families. That is not security. That is abandonment.

Real security is a child going to bed fed. Real security is a parent seeing a doctor before a crisis becomes an emergency. Real security is clean water, safe housing, good schools, stable jobs, and a democracy where public money serves the public good.

America does not need another blank check for a war no one wanted. America needs leaders with the moral courage to invest in life, dignity, freedom, and the people who make this country possible.

No blank checks for wars no one wanted. No giveaways for billionaires while families are told to survive on less. No more politicians draining our communities and calling it strength.

Real security means food on the table, care when we are sick, roofs over our heads, clean air, safe communities, constitutional accountability, and a government that answers to the people.

That is the America we are called to build.

Friends,

At People Power United, we believe democracy only works when every eligible voter can make their voice heard and hold their leaders accountable to the will of the people. Voting is not a privilege for the powerful, a favor from politicians, or a right that should depend on whether Trump approves of how you cast your ballot.

That is why this latest attack on voting by mail is so dangerous. In essence, Trump wants the United States Postal Service (USPS) to act as an election gatekeeper — deciding who it will and will not deliver ballots to.1 That is not its job. The Postal Service delivers the mail. It should not decide who gets access to the ballot box.

Voting by Mail Is Under Attack Again

Trump’s executive order directed USPS to reshape vote-by-mail rules and refuse to deliver ballots to voters who are not on certain government-approved lists. The proposed rule would require states to submit lists for approval by the Trump administration and would allow the United States Postal Service to reject ballots it claims do not comply.

Let’s be clear: this is not election security. This is voter suppression wrapped in bureaucracy.

The Postal Service Must Deliver Ballots, Not Voter Suppression

There is some good news: Judge Indira Talwani blocked key parts of Trump’s mail-voting executive order and found that USPS lacked authority to issue binding mail-voting regulations.2 But this fight is not over. As this makes its way through appeals and the courts, we, the people, must keep speaking out.

The Postal Service should not deliver Trump’s preferred mail. It should deliver all mail — medicine, paychecks, birthday cards, bills, letters from loved ones, and ballots. It does not belong to a president, a party, or a political agenda. It belongs to the people.

Voting is fundamental to democracy. That this Administration would direct USPS to adopt measures to impede voters from casting their ballots is shameful. And that USPS would allow itself to be used for political purposes to advance the President’s irrational objection to mail-in voting is unlawful and contrary to the commitments it made to settle our litigation. Allison Zieve, director of Public Citizen Litigation Group

This proposal also violates the spirit and commitments of a 2021 settlement by the USPS with the NAACP that requires the timely delivery of election mail.3

Let’s be clear: this is not about election security. This is about making voting harder, creating confusion, and giving the federal government dangerous power over state-run elections.

The Mail Belongs to the People

Millions of Americans rely on voting by mail: seniors, disabled voters, caregivers, rural voters, students, military families, and workers with long shifts. If USPS can block ballots based on politically driven lists, eligible voters could be silenced through no fault of their own.

The same Postal Service is being called on to act as some election gatekeeper. That is not, and should never be, their job. We cannot wait for the final court ruling to defend democracy. We must demand that USPS deliver all election mail to all eligible voters — not Trump’s preferred mail, not politically approved mail, not ballots filtered through a partisan loyalty test.

📬📢 Take Action» Send a letter to the USPS: Deliver the mail – ALL the mail. Hands off our votes!

Hands Off Our Ballots

Every ballot must be delivered. Every voter must be heard.

Friends,

Today, the Supreme Court showed us exactly what is at stake.

In two major immigration rulings, the Court did not simply answer technical legal questions. It opened two more doors for the Trump administration to choose detention over due process, fear over fairness, and political theater over a working immigration system.

First, the Court ruled that the Department of Homeland Security may revive a policy that allowed the government to turn noncitizens away at the border without hearing claims that they may qualify for asylum. Then, in another 6–3 ruling, the Court allowed President Trump to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants who were permitted to live and work here because their home countries were unsafe.

I want to be very clear about what this means.

This is not just about paperwork. This is not just about ports of entry. This is not just about one policy, one court case, or one group of migrants.

This is about whether the United States will honor the basic principle that people fleeing danger deserve a chance to be heard before the government turns them away, locks them up, or sends them back into harm’s way.

Seeking asylum is a human right. It is also part of our legal and moral tradition. A serious country can secure its borders, stop trafficking, prevent violence, and process immigration cases with order and fairness. But a serious country does not use chaos as an excuse for cruelty. A serious country does not tell people to follow the law and then slam the door before the legal process can begin.

The lie is that cruelty equals safety.

It does not.

Trump and his Republican allies are pouring billions into enforcement and detention while refusing to build the fair, efficient immigration system our communities actually need. Trump signed a $70 billion bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol through the remainder of his administration, and $38 billion of that package goes to ICE, $26 billion to Customs and Border Protection, and $5 billion more to DHS.1

But where is the matching investment in justice?

Where are the judges? Where are the attorneys? Where are the translators, asylum officers, legal orientation programs, case managers, court staff, and work authorization processors needed to make the system actually function?

Here is the danger hiding in plain sight: when government refuses to process people fairly, detention becomes the pressure point. It becomes the punishment. It becomes the threat. It becomes the money machine.

Right now, the U.S. immigration court system is buckling. At the end of May 2026, TRAC reported more than 3.2 million active cases pending in immigration court, including more than 2.3 million people waiting for asylum hearings or decisions.2

That is not processing. That is a backlog big enough to swallow families whole.

People do not disappear from their lives just because the government refuses to run a fair system. They still have children in school. Jobs to report to. Rent to pay. Doctors to see. Communities that count on them. Families who love them.

And then the government points to the very backlog it failed to fix and says: more detention.

No.

Warehousing people is not processing. It is punishment without conviction.

We have already seen what happens when detention is rushed, privatized, and treated like a political stage instead of a legal system. A Government Accountability Office review of Camp East Montana found that ICE and the Army rushed the opening of the largest ICE detention facility to date, negatively affecting planning and acquisition. GAO also found that the government paid for meals and services for 5,000 people even when the facility held far fewer people, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.3

That is not law and order.

That is cruelty with a contract attached.

And yes, this is also a profit pipeline. Private prison corporations and contractors benefit when detention expands. Politicians benefit when fear is useful. But families pay the price. Taxpayers pay the bill. Communities absorb the harm. And people seeking safety are turned into line items.

This is how the circle widens.

It starts with asylum seekers. Then TPS holders. Then Dreamers. Then undocumented workers. Then mixed-status families. Then students. Then protesters. Then voters. Then anyone who refuses to look away.

That is how power grabs work. They do not come for everyone at once. They isolate one group, test how much cruelty the public will tolerate, and then move to the next.

This is why we cannot accept the false choice between safe borders and human dignity.

We can and must have both.

A real immigration reform agenda would secure the U.S. border while reducing the number of immigration detention beds. It would reform the legal immigration system to better meet U.S. needs. It would invest in enhanced security and technology at ports of entry to help stop the smuggling of illegal weapons and narcotics, including fentanyl. It would address the root causes of migration from South and Central America through diplomacy and humanitarian aid. It would permanently protect DACA and Dreamers.

It would increase funding to process immigration applications and work authorization applications more efficiently. It would expand case management programs that help undocumented immigrants and their families understand and meet their immigration court obligations. It would hire 1,600 new asylum officers and processing personnel to improve the efficiency of the asylum system. It would hire 375 new immigration judges to help move cases through the courts. It would eliminate the six-month waiting period before asylum seekers can apply for work authorization so people can support themselves, contribute, and live with dignity while their cases are pending.

That is not radical.

That is responsible.

And here is the part this administration does not want us to notice: the public is not demanding cruelty. A substantial majority of voters — 69% — support the U.S. having a system for asylum seekers to legally migrate here to seek protection.4

People understand what politicians pretend not to understand: safety and compassion are not opposites. Due process and border security are not enemies. Human dignity is not a loophole.

The path forward is not more cages. It is more courts. More case management. More legal pathways. More accountability. More humanity. More truth.

We can have secure borders without cruelty. We can protect communities without scapegoating immigrants. We can stop trafficking and fentanyl without punishing people fleeing persecution. We can build an immigration system rooted in safety, dignity, and due process.

But we have to demand it.

So today, we are asking our members of Congress to act.

Fix this broken immigration system. Protect the dignity and rights of asylum seekers. Protect Dreamers. Protect families. Fund fairness, not fear. Fund courts, not cruelty. Fund people, not cages.

A country built on liberty and justice for all should not replace courts with cages.

Not in our name.

Power belongs to the people — and when we stand united, we can still force this country to live up to its promise.

Pass the Equality Act and Guarantee Freedom for All

Friends,

At People Power United, we believe America’s promise means nothing unless it reaches everyone. Equality cannot be reserved for the privileged, and equity cannot be treated as optional. Our freedoms must not depend on wealth, power, status, or whether those in office decide we are worth protecting. In a nation that claims liberty and justice for all, every person deserves the right to live with dignity, safety, honesty, and joy — fully and freely as themselves.

That promise includes our LGBTQIA+ siblings — our neighbors, friends, family members, coworkers, students, elders, and community members. It includes every child who deserves to grow up knowing they are loved, valued, and safe. It includes every adult who deserves to live free from hate, discrimination, and political cruelty. And it includes every person, across gender identity, sexual orientation, race, age, income, or zip code, who deserves the freedom to live with dignity, respect, and equality.

Pride Month is a time to honor love, authenticity, courage, and hard-won progress. But we must also tell the truth: this is a painful moment for many in the LGBTQIA+ community. Extremists are targeting transgender kids, banning books, censoring classrooms, and threatening families, health care, and the freedom to live openly and safely.

This moment is painful — but it is not hopeless.

Friendly reminder: the Equality Act passed the House in 2021 under Speaker Pelosi’s leadership, but it hit the wall of Senate Republicans, Sinema, and Manchin. If signed into law, the Equality Act would prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity — which is exactly why we must keep pushing.

Rights do not protect themselves. People protect rights.

This month, People Power United is asking our members to honor and stand with our LGBTQIA+ community by taking action:

• Take action: Send a message to your member of Congress» Pass the Equality Act

• Take action: Sign the Petition» Tell Colleges: Don’t Back Down on Pride Month

• Take Action» Submit a public comment to protect Two-Spirit and trans people as well as Tribal sovereignty

• Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to pass the Equality Act.

Let us stand united. Let us stay informed. Let us stay awake to injustice. And let us keep building a future rooted in equality, equity, freedom, and power to the people.

The movement for freedom over fascism, progress, and power to the people starts here.

Why the Grassroots Resistance Can’t Wait

People Power United members believe change is possible because we have seen ordinary people rise, organize, and be a force for progress. Real change does not come from waiting politely, staying quiet, or hoping those in power suddenly grow a conscience. It comes when people speak out, show up, and demand action—because our communities and families cannot wait, and every moment we delay gives injustice more room to tighten its grip on our communities.

Thanks for taking action!!

Liberty, Justice, and the People’s Power

Friends,

Patriotism and the promise of “liberty and justice for all” were never meant to be polished into campaign slogans, wrapped around one politician, or used to brand America while people are left behind. It is supposed to be a promise. A living promise. A daily responsibility. A moral test.

That is why this wonderful story about Harvard graduate Noah Eckstein’s viral speech matters so much.1 See below for the video.2 In a time when Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans keep trying to divide people by race, faith, identity, immigration status, party, and fear, Noah offered a simple but powerful truth: “The counter to division isn’t necessarily agreement. It’s understanding.”

That sentence should stop us in our tracks.

Understanding does not mean surrendering our values. It does not mean excusing cruelty, corruption, racism, authoritarianism, or attacks on our freedoms. It means remembering that democracy only works when people are seen as human beings, not enemies to destroy. It means listening closely enough to understand what is at stake, speaking clearly enough to name what is wrong, and organizing boldly enough to protect one another.

Trump’s version of America is about loyalty to Trump. Our vision must be about loyalty to the people.

Liberty and justice for all means no president is above the law. It means no billionaire, judge, lobbyist, or political insider gets to rewrite the rules for their own power. It means government belongs to the people, not to Trump loyalists, corporate interests, surveillance machines, or politicians drawing rigged maps behind closed doors.

And because understanding must lead to action, here are four ways to defend liberty, justice, and people power right now:

• Stop Trump Loyalist Todd Blanche from Leading DOJ: The Department of Justice must serve the public and the rule of law, not function as a shield for Trump’s personal power.

• Block Trump’s AI-powered warrantless surveillance of Americans: Liberty means protecting our privacy, our rights, and our communities from unchecked government surveillance.

  Impeach Trump: Accountability is not revenge; it is how democracy protects the people from abuse, corruption, and presidential power grabs.

• Tell Congress: Ban Partisan Gerrymandering Now: Voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around, because fair maps are essential to real representation.

America becomes worthy of its promise when we build a democracy where every person can live with dignity, safety, freedom, and a real voice.

As Noah reminded us in his speech, listening like we might be wrong does not mean we abandon our values or stop holding our leaders accountable. It means we lead with humility, seek understanding over division, and refuse to let corrupt politicians turn our neighbors into enemies.

That is the work before us. Not loyalty to Trump. Not empty slogans. Not performative patriotism.

People. Power. Progress. Liberty and justice for all.

Friends, take a moment to look at the United States flag below. Not as a decoration. Not as a prop for politicians. But as a promise — a promise of liberty, justice, dignity, and freedom for all of us.

America is a work in progress and a promise of a better tomorrow for all of us.

At our best, we have shown the world what courage, imagination, and collective purpose can do. We showed up on the beaches of Normandy to defeat Nazis. We sent people to the moon. We helped develop vaccines and helped overcome a worldwide pandemic. Again and again, when the moment demanded courage, the people rose.

We cherish our families, our friends, our faith, and our communities. We pour love, care, grit, and hard work into the places we call home. That flag is not the property of one party, one politician, or one movement. It belongs to all of us. It is a shared promise to keep moving forward, face hard truths, right the wrongs of our past, and build a nation rooted in unity, courage, compassion, and justice.

We are better than our worst days. And we can move past the lies, hatred, and bigotry being spread by Felon President Trump, Republicans in Congress, and MAGA supporters. We will not cower to bullies, cruelty, or fear. We will do the work to fiercely advocate for our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law. We will push for freedom over fascism and power to the people.

A nation driven by vengeance and hate risks losing its soul. When leaders use policy to punish, divide, and dehumanize, national security weakens, communities fracture, and freedom becomes fragile. History shows us the dark path ahead when fascism takes root. Current examples like Russia and North Korea remind us what happens when power is concentrated, dissent is crushed, and loyalty to one leader replaces loyalty to the people.

These are tough times, but I still believe in us.

The strength of a nation is not found in one president, one party, or one billionaire donor. It is found in people coming together with their unique perspectives, talents, stories, and courage to build something greater than themselves.

🗽 You are the hero of this American story.

If this past year felt like a lifetime worth of setbacks, you are not alone. The goal is to make us afraid, exhausted, and ready to give up. But we cannot let that happen. Now is the time to show up, speak out, protect the people we love, hold leaders accountable, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.

In this community, we will always stand against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, elitism, transphobia, misogynoir, and all forms of bigotry.

America belongs to all of us. And together, we will keep the promise alive.

Friends,

A country should never look at its own currency and see the vanity of a sitting president stamped into the people’s daily life. This week, the Treasury Department announced that Donald Trump’s image will appear on new U.S. paper currency - a $250 bill if Congress grants approval, making him the first sitting president whose image appears on American legal tender. This is in addition to the other change of putting Trumps signature in place of the treasurers, ending a tradition that dates to 1861, with the first new $100 bills expected in June.

That is not a harmless design choice. Money is one of the most public symbols a democracy has. It passes through the hands of workers, parents, retirees, immigrants, and neighbors trying to survive in an economy that already asks too much of ordinary people. Our currency should reflect the shared trust of the nation, not the ego of one man.

• The Treasury should serve the people with neutrality, not serve a president with loyalty.

• Our currency should reflect democratic trust, not presidential vanity.

• The Treasury belongs to the public, not to one president’s ego.

• Public institutions should honor the nation, not flatter the president.

• The Treasury should protect democracy, not promote a president’s brand.

Trump administration officials have also proposed minting a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump’s image on it to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States next year, a plan that could violate the law.

Trump’s allies want Americans to accept this as patriotic pageantry tied to the 250th anniversary. Treasury officials have framed the change as a way to honor both the country and Trump. But that is exactly the problem. A democracy is not supposed to turn public institutions into personal trophies. The people’s money is not a branding exercise. It is not campaign merch. It is not a monument to a living president’s appetite for attention. If anyone deserves to be honored, it is the people of America, who built this country with their work, sacrifice, struggle, and dreams, not one man’s ego.

America has long understood the danger here. Federal law says “[o]nly the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities,” a rule tied to the country’s effort to distance itself from monarchy. Our money is not supposed to become a shrine to a living ruler.

That is why this moment matters. Members of a bipartisan advisory committee objected to putting a sitting president on currency because it would “break with democratic norms” and “reek of subservience to royalty.” That is the warning in front of us. No free people should be trained to confuse patriotism with personal devotion.

And let’s say the quiet part out loud: when a president starts placing his mark on the people’s symbols, he is not just asking for recognition. Trump and his allies are testing how much public submission the country will tolerate. Today it is a signature or image. Yesterday it was proposals for presidential coinage. Tomorrow it becomes another demand that the country honor the leader instead of the Constitution, the public, and the rule of law. That is not strength. That is democratic erosion dressed up as tribute.

But this is where people power still matters. We do not have to accept the slow rewriting of public life around one man’s image, name, and ego. We can speak up. We can organize. We can remind Congress and Treasury that they answer to the people, not the other way around. Our currency belongs to the people. Our democracy belongs to the people. And the will of the people still matters.

Banned in War, Unleashed on the People

Friends,

Tear gas is not “crowd control.” It is chemical force. It is dangerous enough that several countries and the Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits the use of riot-control agents, including tear gas, as a method of warfare, yet the same chemicals are being used by ICE and domestic law enforcement.1 That double standard should outrage every person who believes in freedom: too dangerous for war, but somehow acceptable against protesters, journalists, neighborhoods, and detained immigrants.

Tear gas does not “restore order.” It burns eyes, chokes lungs, irritates skin, and can cause coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. The CDC warns that prolonged exposure or large doses can cause severe harm, including blindness, glaucoma, respiratory failure, and even death, with greater danger in closed indoor spaces where people cannot escape.2

And now, new reporting shows this crisis reaches inside America’s immigration detention system. The Washington Post reported that internal ICE records revealed at least 780 incidents in which staff used physical force or chemical agents to control immigrant detainees during the first year of Trump’s second term, including guards firing chemical pepper balls into a communal room in Alaska and using pepper spray on detainees in Georgia who said they had not been seen by medical staff.3

This is not safety. This is state violence. In Portland, a federal judge restricted federal officers’ use of tear gas at protests outside an ICE facility after evidence showed peaceful protesters and journalists being sprayed, gassed, and hit with munitions. The court described DHS officers spraying peaceful protesters in the face and firing tear gas and pepper-ball munitions into crowds of peaceful and nonviolent protesters.4

A free people cannot be gassed into silence. Protest is not a crime. Demanding food, water, medical care, dignity, and justice is not violence. We need a nationwide ban on the use of tear gas and chemical crowd-control agents against civilians, protesters, journalists, and people in detention. A democracy cannot survive if dissent is treated like an enemy force. And a government that uses chemical agents against the people is not protecting order—it is exposing its fear of people power.

We must demand a nationwide ban on the use of tear gas against our civilians. Protecting public safety means ensuring the right to gather, speak out, and petition for change without fear of chemical attack. A free people cannot be gassed into silence. Proper security lies in justice, not in repression.

Friends,

Pete Hegseth must be removed from power before he causes even more devastation at home and abroad. This is not a close call. This is not a partisan game. This is a moral, constitutional, and democratic emergency.

When Hegseth declared “No quarter, no mercy for our enemies” while giving an update on Donald Trump’s illegal war on Iran, he was not speaking the language of lawful restraint or responsible leadership. He was speaking the language of brutality. He was signaling a worldview in which cruelty is strength, vengeance is policy, and the rules of war are disposable. If those words are followed as orders, they amount to war crimes. No defense secretary who talks like that should remain in office for one more day.

And that is only the beginning.

Hegseth has reportedly sought to purge the U.S. military of Black and female officers, turning one of the nation’s most powerful institutions into a playground for ideological cleansing and grievance politics. That is not leadership. That is an assault on equality, professionalism, and the basic principle that service and merit matter more than bigotry. Our military belongs to the people of this country, not to a culture war agenda built on resentment and exclusion.

He has also overseen operations tied to horrifying civilian deaths, including 168 students at an Iranian girls’ school. Let that sink in. Children. Girls in a school. Young lives that should have been protected, not incinerated in the name of reckless militarism. When leaders treat civilian casualties like background noise, democracy rots and human dignity is shredded. When they speak with open contempt for mercy, they tell the world exactly who they are.

And while innocent people die, U.S. servicemembers are put in danger too. Hegseth’s actions and rhetoric do not make anyone safer. They make catastrophe more likely. They inflame conflict, raise the risk of retaliation, and place troops in the path of consequences created by arrogance at the top. That is not patriotism. That is reckless endangerment dressed up as toughness.

Now Rep. Yassamin Ansari has introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, and Congress must meet this moment with courage. Pass the articles. Hold the hearings. Expose the truth. Remove him.

Because impeachment is not just about punishing one man. It is about defending the idea that public power has limits. It is about making clear that no Pentagon chief can wage unlawful war, glorify cruelty, target officers for who they are, endanger troops, and escape accountability. It is about telling every future authoritarian that the Constitution is not optional and that the people are still watching.

If Congress refuses to act, it sends a terrifying message: that war without restraint, discrimination without shame, and abuse without consequence are all acceptable so long as the right strongman is in charge.

We cannot accept that. We cannot normalize it. We cannot wait for more bodies, more grief, and more damage to our democracy.

This is the moment to raise our voices. This is the moment to demand accountability. This is the moment to advocate for Congress to choose between cowardice and the Constitution.

Pete Hegseth has shown this country who he is. Believe him. And then remove him.

The Constitution Says “We the People,” Not “I, the President”

Friends,

America was not founded to be ruled by one man. Our Constitution does not begin with “I, the President.” It begins with “We the People” because power in this country is supposed to belong to the people, not to one politician, one party, one billionaire class, or one authoritarian movement.

That is why Congress must stop treating Donald Trump’s presidential power grab like politics as usual.

At the center of this crisis is the dangerous idea known as unitary executive theory. Its most extreme supporters argue that the president should have sweeping control over the executive branch, including agencies Congress created to operate with independence. Trump’s own White House order declared “Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch,” including independent agencies.1

This is not a technical debate. This is a democracy alarm bell.

When a president claims the power to control agencies, fire independent officials, replace experts with loyalists, and bend law enforcement toward personal or political goals, the presidency stops looking like public service and starts looking like a throne. The Trump administration has also moved to strip civil service protections from federal workers under a revived Schedule F-style framework, a move critics warn could politicize the federal workforce and make it easier to replace experts with loyalists.2

And the danger is no longer theoretical.

This is exactly why unchecked presidential power is so dangerous. When one man can send the United States military to seize another country’s leader and his wife, as Trump did with Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela, without real congressional accountability, we are no longer talking about ordinary foreign policy.3 We are talking about a president acting like the Constitution is optional.

When one man can authorize or defend boat strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific that have reportedly killed 193 people across at least 58 attacks, and only afterward face an inspector general inquiry into whether proper procedures were followed, that is not accountability.4 That is power moving first and oversight arriving too late.

And when one man can drag this country toward war, launch attacks tied to Iran without Congress first authorizing war, and force lawmakers to scramble afterward to reassert their constitutional authority, that is not strength. That is a presidential power grab.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war for a reason. No president should be allowed to bomb, kill, capture foreign leaders, or push America into war while Congress shrugs, hides, delays, or rubber-stamps after the fact.

The corruption concerns are just as alarming. Trump and his family are tied to World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture that has raised serious conflict-of-interest questions while Trump holds presidential power. Reuters has reported that the Trump family’s crypto venture overlaps with major crypto industry networks and that Trump’s presidency, crypto advocacy, business interests, and regulatory shifts have raised concerns about conflicts of interest.5

Now the danger has reached a new level. The Justice Department approved a settlement that, according to MS Now, permanently bars the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, and his companies for tax claims filed before the settlement date.6 The agreement is tied to Trump dropping his lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns and includes the creation of a nearly $1.8 billion fund for people claiming harm from political “weaponization.”

Let’s call this what it is: a five-alarm warning for democracy. No president should be allowed to seize foreign leaders, bomb boats, kill people, move toward war without Congress, profit through private crypto ventures, weaponize the Justice Department against political enemies, and then benefit from a settlement that blocks tax accountability for himself, his family, and his companies.

That is not public service. That is not law and order. That is what happens when presidential power is allowed to swallow checks and balances whole.

Congress cannot abdicate its power to the president. Congress cannot surrender oversight. Congress cannot allow any president to turn independent agencies into loyalty machines, the Justice Department into a political weapon, the military into a private tool of force, or public office into a family business.

We need Congress to publicly reject unitary executive theory, investigate extremist agendas like Project 2025, protect independent agencies and civil servants, defend inspectors general and whistleblowers, and reassert its constitutional authority over war, spending, oversight, and accountability.

The Constitution does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to MAGA Republicans. It does not belong to billionaires, loyalists, or political insiders.

It belongs to us.

Congress must do its job. Hold presidents accountable. Defend checks and balances. Protect our rights, freedoms, rule of law, and democracy before this presidential power grab becomes the new normal.

Good News and Progress from the Resistance

People Power United exists because silence is not an option. We help people understand what is at stake, who is being harmed, who is responsible, and what we can do next. We turn fear into action, outrage into organizing, and truth into people power.

And today, I am asking from the heart: please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Free subscribers are deeply valued in this community. Every reader, every share, every action matters. But paid subscribers make this work possible.

Your support helps us publish independent news and action alerts, keep this work accessible to people who cannot afford to pay, and build a movement that is not funded by billionaires, corporations, or special interests.

We are powered by people.

People Power United now reaches more than 340,000 digital subscribers, a level of reach comparable to some major news outlets. That means our reach is up there with major news outlets like the Los Angeles Times (243,000 digital subscribers), The Boston Globe (260,500 digital subscribers), USA Today (142,212 digital subscribers), and the Chicago Tribune (152,255 digital subscribers) when it comes to digital reach. But we do not have billionaire owners, corporate advertisers, or deep institutional pockets behind us. Those outlets often have hundreds of staffers, and sometimes more than 1,000 people, supporting their journalism, technology, business, marketing, and operations. We do not have that kind of legacy infrastructure behind us. We have people power. We have truth. We have action. And if even a small share of this community becomes paid subscribers, we can keep building independent, people-powered news and actions that are enough to meet this moment.

We generally send only one email/post a day, so you can stay informed without being overwhelmed. And if you want more throughout the day, you can follow our Substack notes feed or our Social Media channels, which are updated multiple times a day with breaking news, urgent actions, movement updates, daily inspiration, and ways to stay engaged.Attacks on immigrants, reproductive freedom, the courts, the climate, voting rights, workers, public education, and basic human dignity are all part of the same authoritarian project.

And our answer must be just as connected.

Freedom over fascism. Progress over fear. Power to the people.

If People Power United helps you stay grounded, informed, hopeful, and ready to act, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription today. Your support helps us continue this work, expand our reach, and build the people-powered infrastructure this moment demands.

This is not just about a newsletter. It is about building a community that speaks out, shows up, and refuses to surrender our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, or democracy.

This moment demands more than silence, cynicism, or doomscrolling.

It demands truth. It demands courage. It demands community. It demands action.

And it demands all of us.

Stop the $70 Billion ICE Power Grab

Friends,

There is no mystery about what this ICE funding bill currently in Congress is. It is not about public safety. It is not about affordability. It is not about solving a crisis. It is a slush fund for ICE and Border Patrol, wrapped in fear, rushed through Congress, and designed to hand Donald Trump’s deportation machine another blank check.

Congress is being asked to pour roughly $70 billion more into ICE and CBP through a partisan funding package, even after those agencies received massive funding last year. Senate Budget Committee Democrats say ICE and CBP were still sitting on more than $103 billion in unobligated funding as of March 2026.1

So let’s be clear: there is no funding emergency. There is only a cruelty agenda looking for more cash.

Families are struggling with groceries, gas, rent, healthcare, childcare, and prescription drugs. People are asking Washington to lower costs and protect communities. Instead, Republicans are trying to hand billions more to agencies already swollen with unspent money. Worse, this package was tied to a $1 billion White House security proposal connected to Trump’s ballroom project, which the Senate parliamentarian ruled could not be included in the fast-track bill. 2

That tells us everything we need to know. Working families are told to tighten their belts. Seniors are told programs cost too much. Disabled people are told there is no money. Families on Medicaid are told they must wait, prove, struggle, and suffer. But when Trump wants billions for ICE, Border Patrol, and a palace-like ballroom project, suddenly the money appears.

That is not governing. That is looting.

And every lawmaker who votes for this owns what comes next. Every raid. Every wrongful detention. Every child who comes home to an empty house. Every parent disappeared into a detention system. Every community terrorized by masked agents. Every taxpayer dollar sent into a system with too little transparency and too little accountability. This vote is not symbolic. It is the legislative rubber stamp for what follows.

The public is not confused. A UMass Amherst poll found only 33% of Americans approved of how ICE is doing its job, while 59% disapproved.3 Half of respondents also believed ICE officers are not adequately trained for immigration enforcement. That is not a mandate for more money. That is a warning siren.

This bill also makes life more expensive. FWD.us found Trump’s immigration policies could raise costs for the average American family by $2,150 per year, and projected grocery bills could rise from $165 to $195 per week within four years.4 Mass deportation is not just morally cruel. It destabilizes construction, agriculture, food service, caregiving, and local economies. It rips workers out of communities and then forces everyone else to pay more.

Republicans cannot claim they care about affordability while funding policies that raise prices. They cannot claim they care about families while financing family separation. They cannot claim they care about public safety while writing blank checks to agencies facing deep public distrust.

Congress must reject this bill.

Not one more dollar for raids while families cannot afford groceries. Not one more dollar for detention expansion while people lose healthcare. Not one more dollar for political theater while communities live under fear. Not one more dollar for a deportation machine that already has more than enough money to do harm.

Stop ICE’s slush fund. Stop the blank check. Stop funding cruelty in our name.

Why the Grassroots Resistance Can’t Wait

People Power United members believe change is possible because we have seen ordinary people rise, organize, and be a force for progress. Real change does not come from waiting politely, staying quiet, or hoping those in power suddenly grow a conscience. It comes when people speak out, show up, and demand action—because our communities and families cannot wait, and every moment we delay gives injustice more room to tighten its grip on our communities.

Ban Partisan Gerrymandering Now

When politicians cannot win on their policies, their leadership, or their record, they often reach for the oldest trick in the anti-democracy playbook: rig the system.

That is what partisan gerrymandering does. It allows politicians to draw maps that protect their own power, silence entire communities, and make elections less about the will of the people and more about the survival of the powerful. It turns democracy upside down. Instead of voters choosing their representatives, politicians choose which voters count.

And when voices are silenced, people get hurt.

When communities are carved apart for political gain, families lose power over the decisions that shape their lives. Schools get ignored. Hospitals close. Wages stay low. Housing becomes more unaffordable. Voting rights are weakened. Civil rights are attacked. Public dollars flow toward wealthy donors and political insiders while working people are told to wait, struggle, and accept less.

That is not an accident. That is the point.

Gerrymandering allows politicians to dodge accountability. It gives extremists a shield. It lets them push unpopular policies, attack our rights, and ignore the needs of the people because they know the map has been drawn to protect them. They do not have to earn trust. They do not have to listen. They do not have to lead. They only have to manipulate the rules.

That is not leadership. That is cheating.

A healthy democracy requires fair maps, fair elections, and fair representation. Every community deserves a voice. Every voter deserves equal power. No party should be allowed to slice and divide neighborhoods to silence voters they fear. No politician should be able to cling to office by weakening the people’s ability to remove them.

This is about more than district lines. This is about whether democracy belongs to the people or to politicians who are afraid of the people.

We need Congress to ban partisan gerrymandering now. We need enforceable national standards that protect fair representation, stop map manipulation, and make sure every vote has equal power.

Power to the people means our voices must not be erased.

Power to the people means politicians should win by serving the people, not by rigging the map.

Take Action: Tell Congress ban partisan gerrymandering, protect fair representation, and stop politicians from cheating voters out of real democracy.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut a core protection of the Voting Rights Act is a direct assault on the promise of “liberty and justice for all,” making it harder for disenfranchised and voters of color to challenge discriminatory maps.

I know there is a lot going on right now, so we are giving you some quick and impactful actions to take for our rights, freedoms, rule of law, and democracy.

Stop Trump from labeling millions of Americans as domestic terrorists

Friends,

The second indictment of James Comey should alarm every American who cares about free speech and the rule of law. Federal prosecutors charged the former FBI director over an Instagram post showing seashells arranged as “86 47,” which the government claims was a threat against Trump. Comey denies violent intent, says he opposes violence, and his defense has raised First Amendment concerns.1 He said he came across the shells while walking on a beach and wanted to share the image he found with his followers. Another question also arises: Does “86” mean “get rid of,” as in remove from office like impeachment or use of the 14th amendment, or is the government trying to frame it as something more nefarious?

This is bigger than Comey. Trump’s executive order NSPM-7 directs the Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate, prosecute, and disrupt people and groups accused of political violence, but its language reaches into ideology, protest, advocacy, and dissent. Civil liberties groups have warned that the memo points to vague “indicators” like anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, views on migration, race, and gender, and hostility to “traditional” views. Where does legitimate dissent end and political violence begin, and who gets to decide when free speech is being turned into a threat?

Let us be clear: real threats and political violence should be taken seriously. But a democracy cannot survive when a president blurs the line between actual violence and protected speech, protest, donations, organizing, or criticism. The ACLU warns that the executive order could target nonprofits, donors, and activists under the banner of domestic terrorism, and recent reporting on FBI domestic terrorism investigations tied to anti-ICE activity shows how quickly this machinery can spread.

If Congress funds NSPM-7, it risks funding an infrastructure of political repression. Today it may be a former FBI director. Tomorrow it could be an immigrant rights group, a racial justice organizer, a reproductive freedom advocate, a faith leader, a journalist, a student protester, or a neighbor holding a sign. The right to dissent is not terrorism.

Take action now: Demand Congress refuse to fund Trump’s executive order that could label millions of Americans as domestic terrorists

People power means refusing to let fear become policy.

Friends,

Pam Bondi our former United States Attorney General is now a private citizen. But being a private citizen does not mean you get to treat a congressional subpoena like a polite suggestion. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bondi by name, ordering her to appear for a deposition about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files. After Trump fired her, the Justice Department argued that she no longer had to appear because she no longer held the title of attorney general. That is not accountability. That is a power play dressed up as legal reasoning, and it strikes at the heart of whether the rule of law still means the same thing for the powerful as it does for everyone else.

Because let’s be honest about what is at stake here. If a former attorney general can ignore Congress after being subpoenaed, what message does that send to the rest of the country? That ordinary people are expected to comply with the law, but insiders get loopholes. That subpoenas are binding for workers, whistleblowers, and everyday Americans, but optional for the politically connected. That is how public trust collapses. Bondi was subpoenaed by name, not by title. That should matter. And that should be the standard in any democracy worth defending.

🚨 Take Action: Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt for Epstein Coverup

This is bigger than one deposition. Congress is investigating serious questions about whether the Justice Department under Bondi withheld answers the public was entitled to, failed to fully comply with the law requiring the release of Epstein-related files, and evaded meaningful oversight. That is exactly why congressional oversight exists: to test allegations, expose abuse, and make sure no public office becomes a shield for allies or a weapon against critics. Bondi turned the Department of Justice into Trump’s personal revenge machine, where loyalty to Trump appeared to determine who faced retaliation and who got a pass. Congressional oversight exists to stop exactly that kind of abuse. No office in this country should be a hiding place for corruption.

And Bondi is hardly the first former official expected to answer questions. Others have testified after leaving office. Leaving power does not erase responsibility. Leaving office does not wipe the slate clean. Leaving office does not place anyone above the reach of Congress. If anything, it makes accountability even more urgent, because the public deserves the truth after the damage has already been done.

🚨 Take Action: Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt for Epstein Coverup

Now Chairman James Comer faces a choice, and it is a simple one. He can keep hiding behind the Justice Department’s flimsy excuse, or he can do the job the Constitution gave him. He can reschedule Bondi’s deposition, compel her testimony, and if she still refuses, move contempt proceedings. That is not partisan revenge. That is Congress enforcing its own authority. That is Congress defending the basic principle that nobody gets to walk away from scrutiny just because they once held power.

And the rest of us should not be silent while Congress hesitates. Write your representative. Call Congress. Tell them no private citizen, no former attorney general, and no political insider is above answering lawful questions from the people’s branch of government. Do your job. Enforce the subpoena. Make Pam Bondi testify.

🚨 Take Action: Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt for Epstein Coverup

Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt

Because when Congress refuses to compel testimony from the powerful, it is not just abandoning one investigation. It is telling the country that accountability is for ordinary people, not the well-connected. That kind of double standard corrodes trust, rewards corruption, and weakens the very foundation democracy depends on to survive.

Communities Not Cages: Disappeared in America Through ICE Warehouse Detention

Friends,

ICE’s detention expansion is not immigration policy. It is a moral emergency. It is a calculated campaign of cruelty aimed directly at our communities. The Trump administration is already locking up more than 70,000 people and is openly pushing to cage more than 100,000 at a time. Now it is driving toward an even darker nightmare: warehouse camps that could hold as many as 92,600 people across the country. Let’s say clearly what this is. It is not safety. It is not order. It is not justice. It is mass dehumanization by design. It is a system built to make people easier to isolate, easier to exploit, and easier to become disappeared in America.

These warehouse detention schemes are especially vile because they reduce human beings to objects. Parents. Workers. Neighbors. Loved ones. People with names, families, dreams, and rights could be packed into industrial spaces built to store goods, not protect life. That is the point. When people are hidden away in remote, makeshift detention sites, cut off from family, legal support, and community oversight, they can be disappeared in America with less public scrutiny and less accountability. A bigger cage does not make cruelty humane. It only makes that cruelty easier to hide.

• Now is the time to rise. Join the Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention. Find an event near you here.

• Sign the petition: Stop ICE’s Warehouse Detention Now

And the danger does not stop at the warehouse doors. These facilities are not built with the water, sewage, sanitation, or healthcare systems needed to safely confine thousands of people. Disease can spread quickly. Public infrastructure can be strained. Entire nearby communities can be forced to carry the health and environmental fallout from a system rooted in fear, secrecy, and neglect. Once again, working-class communities and disenfranchised communities are being told to absorb the damage from a machine of punishment built for someone else’s profit and political theater.

Because yes, there is profit in this cruelty. Corporations stand to make money by selling or leasing warehouse space to ICE and helping turn human suffering into a business model. That is obscene. People are not cargo. They are not inventory. They are not products to be processed, stacked, and discarded for cash. When public money is used to cage human beings in warehouse camps while families struggle for housing, healthcare, schools, and clean water, that is not governance. That is state violence dressed up as policy.

• Now is the time to rise. Join the Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention. Find an event near you here.

• Sign the petition: Stop ICE’s Warehouse Detention Now

But the story does not end there. Across the country, communities are pushing back. From Utah to Minnesota, from Oklahoma to Virginia and Mississippi, people have organized, resisted, and stopped these detention projects. They are demanding investment in life, not cages. They are demanding schools, clinics, housing, clean water, dignity, and freedom. They are proving something authoritarians never want us to remember: organized people can beat organized cruelty.

And this moment demands memory. This country has already lived through the shame of using makeshift sites to imprison Japanese Americans in the 1940s. That horror was wrong then, and it is wrong now. We do not honor that history with silence. We honor it by refusing to let more people be disappeared in America under a different name, in a different building, through the same old machinery of cruelty and racism.

• Now is the time to rise. Join the Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention. Find an event near you here.

• Sign the petition: Stop ICE’s Warehouse Detention Now

• Send a letter to your member of Congress and tell them:

Our communities need care. They need investment. They need freedom. Not cages. Not camps. Not ever.

Impeach Pete Hegseth for War Without Congress and Abuse of Power

Take Action: Tell Congress: Impeach Pete Hegseth Now

Impeach Pete Hegseth Now

Friends,

This is what accountability looks like when people refuse to stay quiet.

House Democrats have now introduced six articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, saying he has “demonstrated a willful disregard for the Constitution.” 1 Good. They are right to name it. They are right to act. And they are right to put this fight where it belongs: in public view, under pressure, with the people watching.

Because let’s be honest about what this is.

Pete Hegseth is not just another reckless appointee. He is what happens when authoritarian power puts loyalty above law, cruelty above conscience, and ego above democracy. From the beginning, here at People Power United we said the United States military deserves leadership grounded in integrity, competence, restraint, and fidelity to the Constitution.2 Not ideological fanaticism. Not macho performance. Not grievance politics dressed up as patriotism.

Trump put Hegseth at the top of the Pentagon for one reason: obedience. Not wisdom. Not experience. Not steadiness. Obedience.

And now the country is living with the consequences.

First, Hegseth should be impeached for helping wage war without Congress. The impeachment resolution accuses him of helping initiate and escalate hostilities against Iran without a declaration of war or specific authorization from Congress, and for failing to seek meaningful consultation with the very body the Constitution empowers to decide questions of war. That is not a minor procedural dispute. That is a constitutional line being crossed in broad daylight.

The power to declare war does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to Pete Hegseth. It does not belong to any swaggering strongman who thinks the Constitution is a speed bump on the road to more violence. That power belongs to Congress because the framers knew war is too grave, too deadly, and too dangerous to be left in the hands of men hungry for power and applause.

Impeach Pete Hegseth Now

When a defense secretary helps bypass Congress and ignores the Constitution, he is not protecting democracy. He is helping to dismantle it.

Second, Hegseth should be impeached for reckless disregard for civilian life and the laws of war. The impeachment articles accuse him of authorizing, condoning, or failing to prevent military force that caused large civilian casualties, including the strike on a girls’ school in Minab. Investigators reportedly believed American forces were likely responsible.3 Outdated targeting intelligence may have played a role. Senators later pointed to Hegseth’s own words, including “no stupid rules of engagement” and “death and destruction from the sky all day long,” as evidence of a mindset that treats restraint like weakness and civilian protection like an inconvenience.

Let’s be crystal clear.

Civilian safeguards are not weakness. The laws of war are not optional. Dead children are not collateral messaging problems. Shattered families are not footnotes. When the person running the Pentagon talks like mercy is foolish and destruction is strength, innocent people pay first and the truth gets buried second. Don’t even get me started on Hegseth quoting Pulp Fiction and acting like it was a Bible verse.4

That is not leadership. That is moral failure armed with state power.

Impeach Pete Hegseth Now

Third, Hegseth should be impeached for abusing power and betraying public trust. The impeachment articles accuse him of gross negligence in handling sensitive military information through unsecured communications, obstructing congressional oversight, and politicizing the armed forces. A Pentagon inspector general report found that Hegseth sent sensitive, nonpublic strike information over Signal in a way that risked harm to DoD personnel and mission objectives.5 He has used religious imagery to attack the press 6 and carried himself less like a public servant in a constitutional democracy and more like a man convinced he answers only to power, ego, and his own mythology.

The Pentagon is not a campaign prop. It is not a television stage. It is not a throne for culture war fantasies. It is a public trust, and Hegseth has no business holding it.

This is a pattern.

A pattern of recklessness.
A pattern of cruelty.
A pattern of constitutional contempt.
A pattern of power abused by someone who should never have been given it.

And that is why impeachment matters.

Not because it is politically convenient.
Not because it makes a good headline.
Not because Democrats need a talking point.

It matters because democracy dies when people in power can launch war without Congress, endanger civilians without consequence, abuse public trust without accountability, and still expect the country to shrug and move on.

We will not move on.

This is a moment for accountability. This is a moment for power to the people. Now is the time for us to speak out, show up, and hold Pete Hegseth accountable before more lives are put at risk, more trust is destroyed, and more of our democracy is handed over to lawless men who mistake power for permission. Impeach Pete Hegseth. Drag the truth into the light. Make accountability real.

No More ICE Warehouses in Our Communities

Friends,

ICE’s detention expansion is not policy. It is a moral emergency and a deliberate assault on our communities. The Trump administration is already locking up more than 70,000 people and is openly pushing to cage more than 100,000 at a time. Now comes the next horror: warehouse camps that could hold as many as 92,600 people across the country. That is not public safety. That is mass cruelty by design.

These warehouse schemes are especially vile because they treat human beings like cargo. Parents, siblings, workers, neighbors, and loved ones could be packed into makeshift industrial spaces built to store products, not protect life. Cutting people off from family, legal support, and community oversight will only fuel more abuse, more neglect, more illness, and more death. A bigger cage does not make cruelty humane. It only makes that cruelty easier to hide.

The danger does not stop at the warehouse doors. These facilities are not built with the water, sewage, and sanitation systems needed to hold thousands of people. Disease can spread fast. Local infrastructure can be overwhelmed. Nearby communities can be forced to carry the public health consequences. Once again, working-class communities and communities of color are being told to absorb the damage from a system built on fear and exploitation.

And let’s tell the truth about what is driving this. Corporations stand to profit by selling or leasing warehouse space to ICE and turning human suffering into a business model. ICE recently bought a Utah warehouse for about $145 million even though it was assessed at roughly $97 million.1 That is obscene. People are not inventory. They are not objects to be processed, stored, and discarded for cash.

But communities across the country are pushing back, and that matters. Communities from Utah to Minnesota, from Oklahoma to Virginia and Mississippi, have organized, resisted, and stopped these projects. They are demanding schools, healthcare, housing, clean water, and real investment instead of cages and secrecy. They are proving that organized people can beat organized cruelty.

This moment also calls on us to remember. Our country has already lived through the shame of using makeshift sites to incarcerate Japanese Americans in the 1940s. It was wrong then. It is wrong now. We do not honor that history with silence. We honor it by rising up and refusing to let it happen again.
