There are 435 congressional districts — and in all of them, our groups are organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.

We cannot separate what has happened to working people over the last five decades from the dangerous lure of Trumpism. To build a path forward, we must debunk these 10 destructive myths about our rigged economy.

This is a win for justice and democracy—but an urgent warning as well. A bogus challenge to a fair election nearly succeeded. The threat to overturn legitimate results is real. We must stay vigilant. Be ready to defend the freedom to vote and to have your vote counted apnews.com/article/nort...

JB “GETS IT” - He knows how to: — FIGHT BACK — BUILD A STRATEGY prioritizing pain points & what’s now broken beyond repair — COMBAT BIG $ in elections w/ equally big $ in elections (thanks, SCOTUS) He strikes just the right tone! Go JB!!

Walking example of an Obsessive compulsive disorder…

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Wow- talk about you bottomless pit/black hole eyes that confirm no soul resides inside.

But we know a president is not a king unless we bow. A dictator is not a dictator unless we bow. Our knees, your knees are not made for bowing to power drunk neo-fascists. We stand and speak truth to power...-Rev. William Barber JUNE 14TH WE MARCH! 🌟NO KINGS🌟 www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Little Marco knows his soul is going to burn in Hell, and he’s trying to figure out if a path to redemption exists.

Bam!!!!

YAY! This is an important WIN because it reflects the GOP acknowledging that their latest CHEATING TACTIC was not a winning approach. newsletters.democracydocket.com/its-over-rep...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Hell yes, Europe. Americans, step up. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Global News, CTV, and CBC are all calling it for the liberals. GO CANADA!!

Dr. Oz claims they've found tens of billions of dollars in fraud. Where are all of the criminal cases for fraud then? I'll wait.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

I remember these! And yes - the little girls were instructed to pull their dresses up over their heads to protect themselves from flying glass. As an adult looking back it’s one of those things that make you go hmmmm

The blunt truth, you can't wish this destruction of our freedom away. You don't have a choice. You either stand up to protect the Constitution, Human Rights, and Civil Rights or when you decide to rejoin society  none of your rights will be here for you to own.

If we are going to be disappearing people, can this annoyingly simple-minded goblin be next?

FUCK. THIS. All of this.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Not so giddy today, are ya, Space Dork?

Donald Trump is against due process even though he has benefited from it more than anyone else. And Donald doesn't just get *due* process, he get *undue* process, thanks to a corrupt, partisan Supreme Court.

Conservation and protecting Wisconsin's vast and valuable natural resources is core to who we are as Wisconsinites—it's in our DNA! Whether planting trees, recycling old electronics, or fixing a leak at home, there are endless ways to celebrate. Happy Earth Day, Wisconsin! 🌳🌎
