Long story short: tell our government to cut it out with the “terrorist” profiling of good Americans, tell our Department of Energy to enact the most vigorous washing machine energy standards possible, and tell Google to stop enabling law enforcement to punish folks who get abortions. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
The Center for Rights and Dissent helps you tell our government to stop funding programs that profile good Americans for their alleged “terrorist” activity. Spying on good Americans’ normal activities for “terrorist” “tendencies” hasn’t prevented any terrorism or they'd brag about it, but it has enabled a lot of law enforcement fishing expeditions, a lot of which they undertake to justify the program in the first place! Why, it’s almost like that’s the whole idea. And no, using those programs to “go after white supremacists this time” isn’t a good reason to give our government any more broad spying powers. As we should all know extremely well by now, those powers can be turned on anyone, anytime.
Penn PIRG helps you tell our Department of Energy to strengthen energy efficiency standards for washing machines. Or, as a right-wing drama hound might put it, THEYZ AREZ TEH COMINGZ FORZ TEH WASHING MUSHINEZ!!!!!!! In actually, they are not coming for your washing machine, but ensuring that future washing machines use less water and electricity. I don’t imagine that right-wingers are coming up with these arguments on their own; I rather suspect that big corporations are feeding them these arguments so they can spread them around on social media. But they’re absurdly stupid, and we don’t have to let them win the day.
UltraViolet helps you tell Google to stop collecting location and search data from good Americans just trying to navigate this post-Roe v. Wade abortion rights hellscape. I bet some right-wingers call that an anti-law and order stance, but it’s not – police officers enjoy no Constitutional right to easy investigations, nor does any Constitutional right compel big corporations to collect and such data so they can turn it over, at least not without a warrant. But if states really want to prevent abortions, they have plenty of other ways to try and do that; a lot of them involve more access to birth control, so they likely won’t try them, but that doesn’t mean we’ve got to get all Big Brother on each other.
