30 more journalists arrested in Minneapolis

  This  is the consequence of documenting the Trump regime’s atrocities,  friend : Donald and his regime are using the full force of the federal government to eviscerate journalists’ First Amendment rights and impede their ability to report on the truth without fear of retaliation. When federal agents are arresting reporters, that directly impacts our access to the information we need to fight back. I founded Mary Trump Media because Donald has spent years trying (and failing) to silence me, and I refuse to let his mass intimidation operation silence other independent voices fighting to bring the truth about him and his regime to light. Stand with independent media so we can break through their propaganda and arm the American people with the truth — pitch in to Mary Trump Media today.

Iran

LOST IN SPAM FROM MARCH 4.... THANK YOU SENATOR WARREN FOR SPEAKING OUT! We are facing a dark moment in our country’s history. On Saturday, Donald Trump decided to drag the American people into a reckless, illegal war with Iran. A war based on lies. A war launched with no imminent threat to our country. Six U.S. service members are now dead and more are badly hurt. A missile from the US and Israeli-led bombing campaign reportedly killed over 150 people at a school in Iran — many of them little girls, some as young as seven years old. Now violence is spreading across the Middle East, with the threat of that violence bleeding into the United States. And for what? For another forever war the American people do not want? The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war. That is because one single person should not have the power to drag our entire country into a reckless war — but that’s exactly what Donald Trump has done. And yet, even after multiple bombing runs and the death of ...

Tell the FCC: Protect the night sky

 FOUND IN SPAM! DEADLINE MISSED.... HUMANS NEED DARKNESS TO SLEEP..... If you think the night sky is already too polluted by artificial light, you might want to sit down before you read this email. A company called Reflect Orbital wants to deploy satellites covered in mirrors to produce "sunlight on-demand" at night.  That's right: They want to make nighttime optional. 1 This technology isn't just ridiculous. It could also do even more damage to animals and plants that need darkness to thrive. 2 We're urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reject this  wackadoodle  idea.  Tell the FCC to reject the satellite projects now. If the FCC approves the new project,  Reflect Orbital plans to release up to 50,000 satellites into Earth's orbit by 2035 . By reflecting the sun's rays onto Earth at night,  they could illuminate an area wider than Manhattan. 3 There's already too much artificial light obscuring views of the stars and planets. These sa...
