A new horror. The Musk administration is dumping families in countries where they are not from and they have no ties. What will happen to them there? www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

alright let's do this: call-your-reps scripts for people whose reps dgaf

Full. On. Fascism.

Indivisibles, call our attorney general, Jason Miyares, 804-786-2071, and ask him to join the 22 state AGs that have sued for their NIH funding. And, ask what he is doing to stop the illegal data breach. Script in the app below. Thanks @charleslustig.bsky.social 5calls.org/issue/musk-d...

A progressive agenda is how we will win.

The American Bar Association calls on elected representatives to insist upon adherence of the rule of law. Tell Congressman Wittman your concerns. Express them publicly at his Mobile Office Hours in Williamsburg on Thursday. Speak your mind about the way forward for democracy. It must be preserved!

I’ve been getting the 5 Calls emails, but I just got the app. It’s really great! Easy to use, clear and concise. Share with friends who are hesitant to call their reps. apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

“We are in a critical period. What we do right now will either inspire or discourage the highest caliber candidates we need to win (congressional) seats.” Eric Swalwell. So, keep calling and speaking out. #OnceADayforDemocracy

We can’t let this continue. We can’t let this continue. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YM9616/

Senate Democrats are holding the floor to prevent a vote on Vought! fb.watch/xztzyfUp8T/?

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

Listen to @sanders.senate.gov. This is important. Then, join @indivisible.org, @lwvva.bsky.social or another pro democracy group. Do something. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Y8ptGV/

A powerful video from NYT with people who watched the rise of fascism in their countries. This is where we are. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YRed6P/

Shutting down Medicaid is unbelievably cruel. We must act now to stop this criminal madman from killing Americans.

Called both my Senators today and asked them to block everything. Sent a message to my red hat congressman to stop the SAVE act. #DidThisToday #OnceADayforDemocracy

Trump just halted-in violation of the Impoundment Control Act SNAP funding to feed hungry children Money for cancer research Grants to build infrastructure projects Even aid for suicide prevention hotlines Because these are all part of some “Marxist equity” Who will be brave enough to stop him

He should be impeached for this

This is not just an illegitimate criminal presidency, these are crimes against humanity. Ended HIV/AIDS tx? This may create new resistant strains that will spread around the world. Cutting off CDC and WHO? The next pandemic. COVID hurt his ego, now he seeks to devour.

I love this idea. @lwvva.bsky.social @indivisible.org Let’s take a look.

Serious question. Will we see food shortages? Let’s ask our reps.

This isn’t a presidency. It’s a revenge driven rampage against Americans by a wounded egomaniac.

Today I called a friend to ask her to join the League of Women Voters and/or @indivisible.org. Then I called my Senators and asked them to oppose the Hegseth nomination. #OnceADayforDemocracy #DidThisToday

And he will keep going until we find the courage to stop him. He will end FEMA, NOAA, FDA, all the things that keep us safe. His final blow will be to take away social security. This is not a presidency, this is an assault on America.

The League of Women Voters puts boots on the ground to protect our rights, educate voters, and expand citizen engagement. Find your local League and join!

@markwarner.bsky.social This is what we get to see on TikTok. Unfiltered information not censored by corporate media. Plus, great music, dance, science, wildlife….Stop the ban. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FCst6K/

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Vote NO on this unconstitutional and dangerous act!

Action Alert! Call your Senators this morning! Thank them for opposing dangerous cabinet nominees, then tell them to oppose the cruel Laken Riley Act.

Originally from @pappyparki.bsky.social.

The constitution is clear. This election cannot be certified. @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Don’t tell me you will fight for democracy then do nothing today. #14thamendment #Jan6

Virginia: there’s an upcoming special election. With so much at stake, be sure to get out and vote for Jack Trammell and Kannan Srinivasan for the Virginia Senate and JJ Singh for the Virginia House of Delegates on January 7th.

If Justice Roberts administers the oath to an insurrectionist who is disqualified from office, he will be violating his own oath of office and will be committing an impeachable offense. #Indivisible
