An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390

1,047 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

Of all the responses to the economic upheavals of the pandemic, price gouging has got to be one of the most egregious. This is when prices go up, or continue to stay high, not due to market pressures or other economic factors, but only because the seller, renter, or provider wants to increase their already excessive profits.

Some CEOs have even bragged to their shareholders about how much their profit-making pricing strategies exceed their inflationary increases in production costs.

To fight back against what they call “greedflation,” Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jan Schakowsky have reintroduced their Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390) and are now seeking co-sponsors for the bills.

As your constituent, I would like to urge you to co-sponsor and pass this bill. It has several important features: It will prohibit price gouging on a nationwide basis; it will take aim at companies that have taken advantage of the pandemic to jack up prices unnecessarily and keep them up; it will focus on companies whose executives brag to shareholders about increasing prices faster than inflationary costs; it will require public disclosure of companies’ costs and pricing strategies, and it will increase the FTC’s funding to enforce these conditions.

Thank you for considering co-sponsoring the Price Gouging Prevention Act.

🚨 LA's Koreatown: Chaos Amid Immigration Raids 🚨

This happened in June.

Armed agents raided LA's Koreatown to crack down on undocumented immigrants, leading to dozens of arrests.

📍What Happened?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security agents suddenly stormed the area.

Reports of stun gun sounds filled the air, and the streets quickly descended into chaos.

This area is a common gathering spot for Hispanic day laborers, and dozens of Mexican immigrants were arrested. Fortunately, no Korean passport holders were among those detained.

📍Impact on the Korean Community

The raids caused significant disruption, with many Koreatown businesses shutting down.

Korean community organizations strongly criticized the federal government's actions, citing "major business losses."

📍Protests Erupt & Trump's Policies

Protests against the immigration authorities' arrests erupted across LA. Police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators, arresting dozens.

These raids appear to be part of President Donald Trump's strict immigrant deportation policies. The White House reportedly pressured authorities to arrest 3,000 people daily.

Resistance to these increasingly aggressive immigration crackdowns is growing.

An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Stop trying to defund the DOJ antitrust division!

843 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

I’m writing to urge you to provide enforcement agencies with the resources they need to rein in corporate lawbreaking. Alongside the FTC, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division plays a critical role in holding illegal, monopolistic behavior accountable. Despite this important responsibility, the Division has long been deprived of the resources it needs to police anti-competitive behavior. This is why I am alarmed by proposed appropriations language released this week that would unravel the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act enacted by Congress in 2022. I am adamantly opposed to this and all efforts to undermine the Division’s budget and urge all parties in negotiations to restore the Division’s full access to merger filing fees. While Congress has made little progress on antitrust priorities in recent years, the passage of the Merger Filing Fees Modernization Act was a bright spot and represented an important bipartisan success in supporting antitrust policy and enforcement. And it was a welcome departure from recent decades, in which Congress failed to give the Antitrust Division adequate resources to combat monopolistic actors even as corporate concentration sharply increased. As noted by Jonathan Kanter, Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, the Division employed some 230 fewer staffers as of February 2023 than it had in 1979. Despite insufficient resources, the DOJ Antitrust Division has still worked tirelessly to rein in anti-competitive behavior across a variety of sectors, including airlines, publishing and the tech sector. At a time when American consumers are reeling from high prices, it should be a bipartisan priority to promote competition and prevent monopolistic behavior. American consumers need relief from unconstrained corporate concentration, and it would be a major mistake for Congress to roll back progress on reinvigorating antitrust enforcement. I once again urge the White House and congressional lawmakers to stand in opposition to the proposed appropriations text and accompanying conference report, and enhance funding for antitrust enforcers to do their jobs. Thanks.

Why TSA New Travel Alert Matters If You are Travelling on a Flight from US Cities Like Boston, New York, Florida, San Francisco, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Houston, What You Need to Know

— Sunday, April 13, 2025

With May rapidly approaching, travelers across the United States, while boarding a flight from any US cities, need to ask themselves one important question: Is your ID Real ID compliant? And it is a travel alert and it matters to you. Starting May 7, 2025, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will strictly enforce REAL ID requirements for travelling in a flight and cities like Boston, New York, Florida, San Francisco, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Washington D.C., Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Orlando, Minneapolis, Tampa, San Diego, Detroit, Portland, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Raleigh, Nashville, Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Richmond, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Austin, Chicago, Columbus, Sacramento, Virginia Beach, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Louisville, Omaha, Tucson, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Madison, Grand Rapids, Anchorage, and Honolulu and many more will see significant travel disruptions. If your ID doesn’t meet federal standards, you could face the risk of being denied access to your flight that mean denied from boarding. The TSA REAL ID crackdown in United States is set to block all passengers at security checkpoints if their IDs are not compliant. This new rule could create major travel chaos for passengers in high-traffic airports across the country, as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces these stricter guidelines. Travelers in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, among others, may experience longer delays, additional screening, or worst of all, be turned away without a compliant ID.

Are You Ready For Travel Chaos This May?

Are you ready for the chaos this May? The time to prepare is now. Make sure your ID meets REAL ID standards to avoid the headache of last-minute travel disruptions. Don’t let the TSA’s REAL ID crackdown ruin your travel plans—check your ID today!

New Travel Rules: TSA And REAL ID Enforcement Coming This May – What U.S. Travelers Need To Know

Starting May 7, 2025, new TSA and federal regulations will require U.S. travelers to have a REAL ID to board domestic flights. This landmark change is set to impact travelers across the nation, especially those flying from major cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, New York, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, San Diego, and Denver.

The REAL ID law was passed following the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission in 2005, aiming to increase security by setting new federal standards for state-issued identification cards. However, enforcement has been repeatedly delayed, and now, with the deadline fast approaching, millions of Americans will need to make sure their ID meets the new criteria. For many travelers, the new rule means that old driver’s licenses and state IDs won’t be enough to get through TSA checkpoints.

Airlines for America has launched the “Travel Like a Star!” campaign to help prepare travelers for the May 7 deadline. This initiative aims to inform and encourage the public to ensure their ID is REAL ID-compliant before the enforcement begins. Philadelphia International Airport, among other major hubs, is urging travelers to apply for a REAL ID as soon as possible to avoid last-minute chaos.

In states like New Jersey, California, Virginia, New York, Georgia, Texas, and Pennsylvania, where the REAL ID enforcement will have the greatest impact, travelers must upgrade their IDs before the deadline. Without a REAL ID, passengers will face delays, additional screening, or could even be turned away at the security checkpoint.

This rule applies to domestic air travel only, but the shift could create major disruptions, especially for those who fly infrequently and may not be aware of the new requirements. For international travelers, a passport or enhanced ID can still be used. However, for many, the REAL ID will become the essential key to smooth travel from May onward.

With the May 7, 2025 deadline quickly approaching, now is the time for travelers across the U.S. to ensure they have the proper identification to avoid disruptions and long wait times at the airport.

This change will impact major airports, including Boston, New York, Florida, San Francisco, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Washington D.C., Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Orlando, Minneapolis, Tampa, San Diego, Detroit, Portland, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Raleigh, Nashville, Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Richmond, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Austin, Chicago, Columbus, Sacramento, Virginia Beach, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Louisville, Omaha, Tucson, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Madison, Grand Rapids, Anchorage, and Honolulu, as TSA will no longer accept state-issued IDs that don’t meet federal security standards. While many travelers have already switched to REAL ID-compliant licenses, a significant number may still be caught off guard. Without a REAL ID or a valid passport, passengers could face serious delays, additional screening, or even be turned away at the airport.

TSA has warned that travelers over the age of 18 must present an acceptable form of identification to pass through security. Those without the required ID will be denied entry to the security checkpoint. Airlines are working closely with TSA to ensure that passengers are aware of this impending change.

To avoid disruption, passengers are advised to check their IDs well in advance and secure a REAL ID or enhanced driver’s license if they haven’t already. Airline staff will not be able to assist with ID issues at the gate, so it’s crucial to take proactive steps. With the May 7 deadline fast approaching, the countdown to compliance has begun, and failure to comply may result in missing your flight.

As of May 7, 2025, TSA’s much-anticipated crackdown on REAL ID requirements will become a reality. The once-delayed policy shift, designed to bolster security at U.S. airports, is set to unleash chaos for millions of unsuspecting air travelers who may be denied entry to flights simply because they don’t possess the right kind of identification.

For over 15 years, the REAL ID Act has been lingering like a storm on the horizon, first passed by Congress in 2005 in response to the 9/11 attacks. The act was meant to set federal standards for ID cards, including driver’s licenses, to prevent fraudulent identifications from entering the system. Yet, despite the federal mandate, enforcement of these stringent rules has been postponed repeatedly, leaving the majority of Americans to wonder when – if ever – they would face the consequences of non-compliance.

TSA To Enforce REAL ID Rule Starting May 7: What Travelers Need To Know

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially announced that starting May 7, 2025, it will begin enforcing stricter identification requirements at airports. After years of delays, the TSA will no longer accept state-issued IDs that are not REAL ID compliant. This long-awaited change is expected to have significant implications for travelers, as those without a compliant ID could face delays or even be denied access to their flights.

The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, was designed to improve the security of identification documents, following the recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission. The act set minimum standards for the issuance of driver’s licenses and other state-issued identification cards, ensuring they meet federal security requirements. However, while the law was approved nearly two decades ago, enforcement has been delayed multiple times, leaving millions of travelers uncertain about when the changes would take effect.

Now, with the May 7 deadline just around the corner, the TSA is making it clear that anyone over the age of 18 without a REAL ID-compliant identification will face consequences. In a statement released on Friday, TSA officials warned that passengers who fail to present an acceptable ID could experience extended delays, additional screening procedures, or even be denied entry to security checkpoints altogether.

For many travelers, this new rule may come as a shock, as it means their state-issued driver’s licenses or IDs will no longer be sufficient to pass through airport security. Those who are not in possession of a REAL ID-compliant identification will need to bring a passport or enhanced driver’s license to avoid disruptions.

As of now, TSA reports that 81% of travelers are already presenting REAL ID-compliant identification at checkpoints. However, the remaining 19% may find themselves at the mercy of stricter security procedures. To help prevent confusion, TSA has emphasized that it will continue to provide additional screening for those who are not in compliance, ensuring that security vulnerabilities are addressed.

Despite the looming deadline, TSA has stated that it will give some leeway to passengers who aren’t yet fully prepared. While the agency has not confirmed the exact level of enforcement, there are indications that passengers may receive up to three warnings before being outright denied boarding. However, travelers should not rely on this grace period, as it’s unclear how strict the enforcement will be at the time of implementation.

The impact of these changes is likely to be felt beyond airports. The REAL ID rule also affects access to federal buildings, requiring citizens to carry a compliant ID to enter government offices. This adds another layer of urgency for travelers to get their paperwork in order before the enforcement deadline arrives.

In the coming weeks, it is expected that airports will see an uptick in the number of travelers rushing to get their REAL IDs. For those still uncertain about whether their ID is compliant, now is the time to visit their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to check and secure the proper documentation. The countdown to May 7 is on, and for many, the clock is ticking to avoid being caught off guard.

A Long-Delayed Change Set To Disrupt Travel

But the moment has finally arrived. Beginning May 7, TSA will no longer accept state-issued IDs that do not meet REAL ID standards. Those without a passport or an enhanced driver’s license – the only approved alternatives to REAL IDs – will be in for a rude awakening at the security checkpoint. Travelers could face lengthy delays or, worse, be flat-out denied access to flights.

TSA’s announcement has sparked panic among frequent fliers and casual travelers alike. With international tariffs causing economic uncertainty and travel demand already faltering, the last thing the U.S. airline industry needs is more hurdles for passengers. The rule is expected to trigger a tidal wave of confusion and frustration at airports, where travelers, many of whom fly only a couple of times a year, will find themselves suddenly ineligible to board their flights.

The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever: TSA’s Warning Is Loud and Clear

TSA has made it clear: 81% of passengers already comply with REAL ID standards, but for the remaining 19% who don’t, May 7 will be a wake-up call they won’t soon forget. No longer will states be allowed to issue IDs that don’t meet federal security standards. The law mandates minimum security requirements for the issuance and production of driver’s licenses and ID cards. But as TSA ramps up enforcement, the stakes have been raised.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has already sounded the alarm about the broader implications of the new ID rules. These changes go beyond air travel, with individuals needing REAL IDs or enhanced licenses to enter federal buildings. No longer just a matter of airport access, the new regulations touch every corner of American life.

How Will TSA Enforce The New Rules?

There’s still uncertainty surrounding how strictly TSA will implement the new rules. While some experts predict that travelers could get three warnings before facing any serious consequences, the agency hasn’t confirmed how lenient it will be in the early months. However, one thing is clear: passengers who try to board flights without a compliant ID could face significant delays or potentially miss their flights altogether.

TSA officials have promised additional screening measures for passengers without a REAL ID, but whether these will be enough to prevent chaos at the security checkpoint is still an open question. With the travel season ramping up, the pressure is on for airports to ensure their operations run smoothly while accommodating the extra scrutiny.

The Ripple Effects On U.S. Airlines: A Market Already In Crisis

U.S. airlines are already grappling with weaker demand amid rising global tariff tensions and economic instability. The added complication of widespread confusion over ID requirements could further dampen the travel market. Travelers may cancel or delay trips, opting for alternatives or avoiding air travel altogether, while airlines scramble to address the fallout. The new TSA rules come at a time when the travel industry is in no position to weather another storm.

The fear of flight disruptions isn’t unfounded. Airlines are likely to face an uptick in customer service inquiries, as confused passengers struggle to meet the new requirements. Airlines may also need to overhaul their booking and check-in systems to ensure smooth enforcement, resulting in additional logistical challenges. But with a deadline firmly set for May 7, there’s little time left for any last-minute changes.

What You Need To Know: The REAL ID Deadline

The REAL ID deadline isn’t just about getting through the TSA checkpoint; it’s about adapting to a new reality in U.S. travel. Here’s what you need to know:

Start Date: May 7, 2025 — No REAL ID, No Entry Past the TSA Checkpoint.

Accepted IDs: REAL ID — Compliant State-Issued IDs, U.S. Passports, and Enhanced Driver’s Licenses.

Consequences: Travelers Without a REAL ID or Valid Passport Could Face Serious Delays or Even Be Turned Away at the Gate.

What To Expect: Increased Security Measures, Possible Lengthy Waiting Times at Airports, and Added Stress For Travelers Trying to Navigate the New Rules.

TSA warns that travelers without the right identification can expect delays, additional screening, and potentially not being permitted through the security checkpoint. No one is exempt from these measures. If you’re flying after May 7, it’s essential to check that your ID complies with the new standards – or risk the possibility of missing your flight.

Are You Ready For The REAL ID Enforcement?

As millions of travelers prepare for what’s sure to be a travel nightmare, it’s time to ask: Are you ready? With only weeks left before enforcement begins, the clock is ticking for those who haven’t yet secured their REAL IDs. The countdown to May 7 is on, and the TSA isn’t backing down.

For those still unsure about whether their ID is compliant, now’s the time to take action. Don’t wait until you’re standing in line at the airport, hoping for a last-minute reprieve. The TSA’s new REAL ID rules are here to stay, and they’re about to change the way we travel forever. Will you be ready when the deadline hits?

Reposting this from a friend bc I think it is VERY important to know of this, and for immigrants, and other possible victims of the ICE Raids happening right now

Here’s to also a very huge edit, from the list of very helpful people who have been reblogging and providing more info.

I’m not as well informed but I will be relaying the information and tagging each person who added onto this post:

@onthedriftinthetardis -

The phone number in the first photo is ONLY for Orange County, California!

Look up your local ACLU affiliate here

@6feetunderwater -

It always makes me nervous to see a reporting phone number passed around without any links to verify it, so the number in the first pic can be found on the site for the Orange County Rapid Response Network, which is "an interconnected system of non-profit and grassroots organizations, civil rights attorneys, law school clinics, and individuals working together to respond to dehumanizing immigration enforcement activities and policies in Orange County"

@geekerypeekery -

The second warrant is not fake, but is an administrative rather than judicial warrant, and has no constitutional authority to bypass Fourth Amendment protections - in other words, it does not entitle the bearer to enter and search your home. It simply authorizes agents of the issuing department to contact you. Always ask to see the warrant before opening your door!

In addition to the ACLU links, try contacting the National Immigration Law Center https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Warrants-Subpoenas-Facts.pdf

Unpleasant reminder: within 100 miles of the border (which is home to 200 million people and virtually all major cities in the US), ICE does not need a warrant to enter your home, your car, to search anything, or even to arrest you.

You are not automatically safe just because they don't have a real warrant.

The best and safest thing you can do is learn to have escape routes- quick ways to get out of the house or area you're in if you find out ICE or CBP are around. Those of us who do have documentation? Time for us to step the fuck up.

Film any interaction. Every interaction. If you're able, step into the conversation and be a Karen/Kyle- weaponize your privilege for Good. If you get asked about people? Use positive but vague statements so you a) cannot be caught in a lie, and b) do not give any information away.

"I don't know them that well, but I don't tend to socialize much. They seem great to me."

"I can't remember the last time I saw them."

"Maybe they speak another language, I can't remember details. But I picked up Duolingo during the pandemic and tons of other people did too."

"I'm not sure."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Even if you're somewhere the 100-mile Exception doesn't apply and a warrant is in fact needed? I don't expect ICE and CBP to play by the rules for long, if at all. I fully expect this to get ugly, and fast.

Cheeto has already declared an emergency of national security at the border, and is mobilizing the military to have jurisdiction over a huge swath of the country. It's essentially tantamount to martial law. And it's only been four days.

Gear up for a long, hard fight. This is gonna be a marathon, not a sprint.

— I am leaving all of this as an edit because on the off chance someone does find the posts that have these people specifically reblogging, I don’t want it to be too late. So I’m comprising it all here

Here are a few other people’s reblogs I thought were important:
