Tell Amazon to stop doing business with racist hate groups!

Violent, authoritarian ideologies, including neo-Nazism and white nationalism, are on the rise. And Amazon, the so-called “everything store,” serves as a platform for individuals and groups pushing these ideas to grow their movements and make money.

A Vancouver-based research team led by Canada's most cited neuroscientist, Dr. Patrick McGeer, has successfully carried out studies suggesting that, if started early enough, a daily regimen of the non-prescription NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) ibuprofen can prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This means that by taking an over-the-counter medication, people can ward off a disease that, according to Alzheimer's Disease International's World Alzheimer Report 2016, affects an estimated 47 million people worldwide, costs health care systems worldwide more than US$818 billion per year and is the fifth leading cause of death in those aged 65 or older.

URGENT! Trump wants to allow American hunters, like his son, to murder elephants and bring home their heads as trophies. The last time he tried this, massive public pressure stopped him. This is how we can do it again. ...

Add your name: Denounce Senate Republicans for passing Trump's tax scam

On December 1, Senate Republicans voted down party lines for a massively corrupt scam designed to finance enormous tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and large corporations at the expense of working families. In doing so, they have taken a pivotal step towards redistributing wealth upwards and further stratifying income inequality for the next decade, at least. In fact, they fell over themselves for this bill. For example: Sens. Daines and Johnson abandoned working class families in their states to negotiate tax breaks that benefit...wait for it...their own, personal interests; Sen. Murkowski voted to end cancer treatments for Medicare patients in order to destroy wilderness that indigenous Alaskans rely on and have worked hard to protect; Sen. Collins took a promise as binding for...no one is really sure what she gained by believing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at his word but she definitely helped strip away a crucial portion of Obamacare; Sen. Flake decided that corporate tax breaks were more important than his career-long dedication to lowering the deficit. The list goes on. Senate Republicans rushed an unpopular bill with devastating consequences for the everyday people they represent. McConnell didn't even slow down enough to allow senators to read the legislation before voting. Once again, they have proven themselves amoral and contemptible. Add your name: Shame on Senate Republicans. The tax plan proves once again that Republicans are unfit to govern.
