@gregcasar.bsky.social: "Elon Musk gets $8 million a day in federal government contracts and subsidies. $65 a day is how much your average senior gets on Social Security just to barely survive on after working their entire life."

No need to wait until September: We’ve identified the causes of autism and even some of the environmental chemicals interacting with autism genes involved early fetal neurodevelopment during pregnancy

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

For all our new followers (2 away from 3k at the time of this skeet)...here's the quick & dirty of what Indivisible stands for and why we do what we do:

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Over $10 trillion.

Where is our humanity?

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

Today I joined 18 attorneys general in a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the creation of a publicly funded religious charter school. Link: www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/press/2025/0...

Kansas Veterans! We see you! #HandsOff

Let's get an even larger turnout! If you can't come out, use your buying power to resist, phone banking, and post cards, calling your representatives.. We all make an impact 💙🌊✊️

Fact : Most people are 2 paychecks away from being evicted , with their jobs being uncertain sure doesn't help !!! #FascistPig 🐖

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

Sign of the day…

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Happy Birthday to Jane Goodall! For nearly 60 years, she’s championed the deep connections between people, animals and planet—showing the world what it means to act #ForNature. Today and every day, we celebrate her pioneer work. 💚

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Where are the Russian tariffs?

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Resist the regime. Reading books is resistance. Buying books is resistance. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrating books is resistance. Resist this regime.

Regardless of anything else about the Wisconsin race, it's just a relief to learn that money can't always buy elections

You might want to tune in to @booker.senate.gov because in about 35 minutes he’s going to make history (fuck Strom Thurmond’s racist wrinkly ass)

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

FACT: You don't destroy the CDC unless you want people to die in large numbers.

🇬🇱🚫🇺🇸 Greenland PM: "Trump says US will get Greenland. Let me be clear: US will not get it."

Let's do this!

Make like the South Koreans. And the Israelis. Show the world that we can stand up for ourselves. April 5, everywhere: handsoff2025.com
