THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Children get only two dolls and five pencils. Trump gets a free luxury jet.

Incredible Progressive Day of Action for @shahanafrombk.bsky.social today! Dozens gathered at Carroll Park alongside @workingfamilies.org @nywfp.bsky.social @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social @tiffanycaban.bsky.social to knock on doors. You too can get in on the fun: www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

Join us @jayapal.house.gov @nywfp.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social for Resistance Lab Training on 5/18 5-8pm! This event will provide practical training, inspiring discussions, & networking opportunities to strengthen our collective efforts in fighting for justice. www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

Andrew Cuomo, who leads in the mayoral polls, has a Trumpian belief in his own spurious talents and triumphs. His election would likewise be a disaster for everyone subject to his rule.

"All I can hear are the screams—the deafening desperate screams, from a mother, from her daughter, from the woman holding the daughter’s baby." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Proud of all the NJ Indivisibles - from all across our state - who texted and called each other last evening to head to Newark to stand up for the Constitution, our laws, and our elected leaders. 👇

Indeed we did and you should join us there again on Wed at 4pm! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen... www.bkreader.com/policy-gover...

At Foley Square now after the ICEstapo arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka: “This is the moment where we stand up. This is the moment when we say we will take care of one another. We will have each other’s backs” @nywfp.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social @indivisible.org @50501newyork.bsky.social

This is what an ICE deportation operation looks like currently in Trump’s America www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Ras Baraka elevated in 1 day for standing up to fascism. Democrats, learn from this.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters chant “Free our Mayor!” outside the DHS building in Newark, NJ where Mayor Ras Baraka is being held (Video: @spydermonkeywatch.bsky.social)

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

Are they not going to release her?

Disappearing an elected official.

BREAKING: New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested at an ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting U.S. attorney says.

Newark mayor Ras Baraka was just arrested by DHS after visiting an immigrant detention center called Delaney Hall which opened illegally without permits from the city he runs. This is fascism in action.

This is so beyond dark.

BREAKING: #NoShowCuomo is funded by slumlords & Trump donors. 70% of his donors are real estate & finance, with ~$400K coming from slumlords.* Yesterday, NYers confronted him about who's really buying his loyalty & why he won’t show up to any mayoral forums on issues impacting NYers. #DontRankCuomo

Brooklyn friends! I'm attending Indivisible Brooklyn's event, “Fight for Our Lives: Community Speak Out & Story Share” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

We're hearing rumors that Ds have worked out a deal to allow a cloture vote (ie, give up their leverage to stop the bill) in exchange for a vote on an amendment (which will fail). That's not acceptable. We need real opposition to Trump's corruption, not procedural gimmicks. Call your Senators now:

The buck stops ... somewhere else.

5/14, 4pm, Join us outside Malliotakis’s BK office & make your voice IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. Congress is rushing to slash health care & essential programs—just to hand out even more tax breaks to billionaires. We’re not letting it happen without a fight! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Today in "I can't believe we have to call our reps about this:" The Senate votes tomorrow on a crypto bill that would ENABLE Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign govts. We can block it if every Dem holds firm. Call now: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This is worth reaing & internalizing. Trump projects confidence & inevitability. But, as @lizdye.bsky.social writes: "After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports."

No crowns. No thrones. No kings. Those are principles America was founded upon. On June 14, let’s stand together again to remind Trump and all of our fellow Americans that we don’t do kings in this country: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Is this like when Nicole Malliotakis claimed the budget blueprint didn’t say “Medicaid” so that meant no one was looking to cut Medicaid? Does she mean they’re not “looking to give” tax cuts for the wealthy, just to “extend” tax cuts for them? @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Malliotakis falsely claimed the blueprint she voted for didn’t use the word “Medicaid” so didn't require cuts to Medicaid. Now she claims no one's looking "to give tax cuts” to millionaires & billionaires, surely because Rs are looking to "extend tax cuts" for them. @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Andrew Cuomo may have run afoul of New York City rules by using his campaign website to instruct a super PAC how to help his mayoral bid. He denies wrongdoing.

Meet Antionette, a nurse for 30 years. She knows Social Security and Medicare don’t take care of all senior needs. That’s where Medicaid comes in. Her question? Will purple-district reps like Nicole Malliotakis choose to take that healthcare away. virginiaheffernan.substack.com/p/profile-in...

Good turnout for today’s Die-in protest protesting cuts to Medicaid and healthcare. Stay loud! #HandsOff

cc: @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com This is outrageous.

What an amazing turnout at our town hall in Croghan! Elise Stefanik is afraid to face voters in our district—I’m not. Let’s bring real leadership back to the North Country, together.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

Now that Trump has openly admitted he could bring back Abrego Garcia whenever he wants, his lawyer tells me he will use discovery to determine which officials are advising Trump to defy the Supreme Court. New piece from me with lots of fresh reporting on this case: newrepublic.com/article/1948...

A lively community march for today’s #TeslaTakedown! Visited Palantir, Sacks, and finally, Bezos’ flatiron penthouse. #PeopleOverProfit #NoBillionaires #TaxTheRich WE SEE YOU 👀 👁️ @riseandresist.bsky.social @indivisible.org @peopleoverprofit.bsky.social @climatedefenders.bsky.social

The #TeslaTakedown is taking to the streets and taking it to the billionaires. Stops at Palantir, Sacks, & Bezos’ penthouse! #peopleoverprofits #nokingsnobillionaires @riseandresist.bsky.social @indivisible.org @50501newyork.bsky.social @climatedefenders.bsky.social @peopleoverprofit.bsky.social

TODAY!!

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

No more pretending purple-state GOP reps like NY-11’s Nicole Malliotakis will protect Medicaid. The GOP plan? Rip healthcare from working people with no other coverage—and give every dollar cut to billionaires and big corporations. @indivisible.org nymag.com/intelligence...

NYC turned OUT for May Day. We are the many.

When protesting in NYC, protest signs ride the subway! No sleep til Brooklyn and no sleep til Democracy! #MayDayStrong @indivisible.org @50501newyork.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social
