🚨 Tucked into the Republican BS Budget (section 70302) is a provision that would prevent courts from holding members of the Trump admin accountable via contempt rulings. Meaning, a judge could order an action (Ex: return illegally deported people), but couldn't force COMPLIANCE of those orders. 😳 🎧

Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics…

Trump’s Tax Scam will kick nearly 14 million Americans off their healthcare to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a GOP senator, call and demand that they stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/...

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It’s not going to be because somebody comes and saves you.”

donny is destroying our democracy, replacing it with fascism supported by his oligarchs. Protesting in large numbers limits the amount of destruction and voting eliminates it. June 14 is the No Kings protest and I hope you can show up. #Washington #Sequim ##Resist #NoKings @ClallamDems.bsky.social

Indivisible Sequim is planning to participate in the nationwide No Kings protest. Pass the word! See you there.

It’s official: Over 1,000 events are planned for No Kings Day on June 14. While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump’s efforts to withhold military and intelligence support to Ukraine did not force that country to surrender, thank God for that. His threat to impose vigorous sanctions on Russia if it did not make peace proved as insubstantial as air. Now he wants to walk away. The art of the incompetent.

"In an environment where attention is our most valuable and scarce resource, talking about Biden’s mental state comes at the expense of talking about other things— namely Trump’s corruption, which, unlike Biden’s health, actually impacts us."

This was the single most powerful moment of last night's town hall with Ro Khanna - when a 6th grader asked "are we safe?" and then ran through a list of her fears, including her grandmother's health and friends with LGBTQ+ family.

200,000 people worldwide have already died d/t cuts to USAID. Reduction to our global vaccine program will kill 1 million children this year. Cuts to cancer research among others will make us sicker. All so billionaires can get tax cuts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fitu...

Did you know Dr. Makenzie Lystrup was sworn in as the director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center using Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot instead of a Bible?

The Trump administration fired nearly 600 employees at Voice of America a federally funded news outlet known for delivering independent reporting to countries where press freedom is restricted.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

A wise creature once said, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering." These days, when fear is all too common, today is a great moment to remember the strength in courage, unity... and hope. May the 4th be with you. Always.

This reporter caught Trump in a "gotcha" moment, but the president wasn't done embarrassing himself

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.
