Narciso Barranco, the father of three Marines, was mercilessly beaten by masked and unmarked ICE agents. We need every American to speak out against ICE's violations of civil liberties. If your state has a Democratic Attorney General, urge them to fight back on ICE overreach: www.bluestatedefianc...

Senate Minority Leader Schumer is urging all senators to support Sen. Kaine’s war powers resolution, which would prohibit Trump from dragging us further into war. We need diplomacy with Iran, not another forever-war. Make sure your senators hear from you ASAP: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Trump calling the military strikes done by "great American warriors." 🤔 Don't forget TRUMP'S past statements. TRUMP ~ on fallen soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. 🪦 "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." theweek.com/politics/thi...

Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and peace by passing legislation that prohibits Trump from dragging us further into war.

When we say the Republicans’ bill will terminate hundreds of thousands of Americans’ health care, we’re also talking about basic reproductive care like birth control, cancer screenings, and wellness exams. www.leadertelegram.com/news/daily-u...

Instead of defending their tax legislation on the merits, Republicans are living in a fantasy land that this bill isn’t a deficit-exploding giveaway for billionaires that cuts health care for millions of Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

We believe in science. And we believe that scientific research that helps cancer patients, overdose reversal and other cutting edge developments must be funded. Senator Tammy Baldwin believes that too, and she’s fighting to keep funding that research that benefits and moves our society forward.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Last Saturday, millions took to the streets in one of the largest protests in our nation’s history, showing our fellow Americans that we won’t bow down to a king — and they don’t have to, either. What we achieved was momentous & inspiring. But its real impact will be determined by what we do next.

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

I just completed sending out 20 (one was returned) texts tonight encouraging others in my town to contact Ron Johnson. Make your voice heard. @wisdems.org @wiswooddems.bsky.social Here is a link with his contact info and a sample call script: wisdems.org/big-beautifu...

AG @joshkaulwi.bsky.social fought back, and won by a unanimous decision of the WI supreme Court, that the GOP legislature cannot curtail our duly elected Gov and AG how do their jobs. This is a big win for Wisconsinites every where. share.google/6WRcfrFoY7SX...

You showed up to say NO KINGS on Saturday but the work continues and we need you in the fight. The road ahead isn't just about one protest or day. It's about building a movement powerful enough to win against authoritarian forces focused on destroying our democracy. Here are ways to stay involved.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Happy to share some big news, which we've been keeping under wraps: We're starting a new podcast called "The Spiritual Life," to on June 17 at @americamedia. You can listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts: www.americamagazine.org/thespiritual...

A new podcast on the spiritual life launches on Tuesday, with the help of Stephen Colbert, Mary Karr, Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Gaffigan and many others. On Spotify, Apple, YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts. More info here: www.americamagazine.org/thespiritual...

On this day I'd like to take a moment to remember an American Monarch actually worth a parade, Norton the First, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor... All hail.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

“When they are cracking down on peaceful protests at a small scale, you’ve got to organize peaceful protests at a large scale. That is what works.” Leah and Ezra discussed #NoKings Day with @briantylercohen.bsky.social. We hope to see you in the streets on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation. On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda. Join the nationwide peaceful protests for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I'm very sad to hear of the death of the great biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann, whose writings helped me immeasurably over the years. I'm also exceedingly grateful to him for writing what became the most read article ever on Outreach. May he rest in peace. outreach.faith/2022/09/walt...

What keeps us "behind closed doors" is not only fear, but the belief that God cannot bring anything good out of a bad situation. It's a form of despair. How we can be fearless disciples. A meditation on the Gospel reading for Pentecost Sunday. outreach.faith/2025/06/how-...

First Ron Johnson called Social Security a "ponzi scheme;" now he's calling Medicaid "money laundering." Does #WI03 Rep. Derrick Van Orden agree with Johnson's most recent remarks about a program that provides health care to roughly 1.3 million Wisconsinites? wisconsinindependent.com/health-care/...

DID YOU KNOW? 101 years ago, the Indian Citizenship Act unilaterally extended U.S. citizenship to Native Americans, creating dual citizenship for members of Native Nations. This was a milestone, but Native folks continue to face barriers to voting, even today.
