MLK’s Daughter to Kari Lake: No, my dad wouldn’t be a MAGA Republican
Bernice King promptly shot down the extremist GOP gubernatorial candidate's preposterous claim that Martin Luther King, Jr. — perhaps the 20th century's fiercest champion of racial equality, voting rights, immigrants' rights, and the like — would embrace the racist, misogynistic, anti-immigrant sludge at the core of today's MAGA-fueled GOP.

DOJ prosecutors have evidence to charge Trump with obstruction in Mar-a-Lago case — but still unclear if they will

Republican lawmakers introduce bill to put parents who support their trans kids in prison for life
In Michigan, the GOP's "family values" includes literally criminalizing parents loving their trans kids and treating them with the dignity they deserve. Entirely devoid of any moral guidance from the values they ostensibly hold, the GOP's crusade against LGBTQ Americans grows more appallingly sadistic with every passing day.

US privately apologized to Israel over human trafficking report
In a truly disgusting show of obsequiousness to a serial human rights violator, the United States apologized to Israel for just *mentioning* the case of a Palestinian trans sex-trafficking victim who fled to Israel from the West Bank and was immediately deported. The Israeli government eventually granted her a temporary permit but refused to recognize her as a trafficking victim, denying her a work permit and leading to her eventual suicide as she was unable to find work or housing. For bringing up this case and using the name "Palestine," State Department official Emily Korenak apologized for a "serious failure."


Bodies of water all over North America are drying up due to drought, climate change
The cataclysmic consequences of unchecked climate change are intensifying season after season, and rather than uniting to actually do something about it, we have a Republican Party that still insists nothing is wrong.

Today’s Action: Take action to help Kentucky flood victims!

Unprecedented flooding has taken at least 37 lives in eastern Kentucky since last Wednesday night, with hundreds more people still unaccounted for. By the end of this tragedy, thousands of families will have been displaced and their hometowns will never be the same. Some areas already walloped by last week’s storms are now flooding again. Gov. Andy Beshear warned that most of the survivors could “lose just about everything.” After hundreds of rescue missions, countless more remain. 

For us here at OD Action, this destruction is personal. Kentucky is our home base. It’s a region that is already disenfranchised, exploited, and bereft of proper support from negligent Republican legislators and corporate predators. Our friends and neighbors are without food, water, and shelter. Many of these people have no idea what their homes now look like, or if they even have homes at all. With more climate disasters surely on the way, the people of eastern Kentucky need our help to bounce back from this horrible tragedy as quickly as possible.

Make a donation to Gov. Beshear’s Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund or check out this verified Amazon wish list for flood survivors! Simply sharing donation links with your friends and family could make a huge impact.You can find even more ways to help here. Please pitch in however you can — it all makes a difference!

PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to tell Kyrsten Sinema to vote YES on Biden's historic climate and healthcare bill, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Today’s Action: Pass federal abortion protections now!

On Wednesday, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law the strictest anti-abortion legislation in the country — effectively banning all abortions starting at fertilization. It’s one of the many laws across the nation that twist around the courts to prevent abortion, despite long-established legal assurances guaranteed by Roe v. Wade. Oklahoma isn’t the only state inspired by this month’s infamous Supreme Court majority opinion draft leak; just 48 hours after its release Louisiana conservatives began discussing how to contort abortion into homicide.

It’s clear that Republicans are more motivated than ever to rip away the right to choose from their constituents — willing and eager to force unwanted pregnancy onto everyone, including survivors of sexual abuse, under the threat of felony charges. It’s downright cruel. Regardless of what conservative-led states would like to be true, America is not a theocracy. Over 60% of Americans support legal abortion access. A legislator’s job is not to play God, it’s to serve their communities. Overturning Roe v. Wade sets an extremely dangerous precedent for the treatment of anyone who isn’t a straight, religious, white, cisgender male. 

Call (202-224-3121) or write your members of Congress and demand they codify Roe v. Wade immediately!

It has never been more crucial to join the fight. Whether it’s donating to a local abortion fund, finding a rally, or writing your members of Congress, your voice is needed in the struggle for federally protected abortion rights. You can find a comprehensive list of abortion funds to donate to here; states with conservative legislatures — Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana, in particular — are in dire need of support in the face of unrelenting attacks on women’s healthcare.

No matter what the Supreme Court and Republican-dominated state legislatures are doing to restrict women’s access to reproductive care, you can still currently receive abortion aid via mail in all 50 states, and financial aid is available if you cannot afford your care. While acquiring and using abortion pills may come with legal risk, widespread access to such resources is crucial for women under attack from crusading conservatives. Until a final decision is handed down by the Supreme Court, abortion is still a legal right.

Call (202-224-3121) or write your members of Congress to tell them to codify Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court guts a woman’s right to choose!
