I'm so proud to say that even in the reddest district of the country (AL-04) we had more than 300 people show up to fight authoritarianism and shout that THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Showing up like this IS what democracy looks like! @maddow.msnbc.com @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social

I'm proud to say I am the organizer for this local chapter of @indivisible.org More than 300 is a HUGE number for this area and the biggest protest turnout for a long time. @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social #HandsOffTuscaloosa Read more here: www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/news/2...

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Today is the day!! Everyone heading out today? Remember, stay peaceful. Stay safe and and make some good trouble! Protect yourself, protect your identity and lookout for those around you! Thank you for going out today and fighting for our democracy! #50501Movement

This. DJT does not have a "mandate" to govern. EVEN if he did, this is not the way to go about it. If you have not yet visit handsoff2025.com for an event near you and join us to protest Dictator Trump & his crony Elon Musk who are so desperate for money they are STEALING LUNCH MONEY from CHILDREN!

Thank you to the group of about ONE HUNDRED protesters (not 40) who showed up to protest Don Jr being at the BJCC in Birmingham, AL last night. Together we must resist! www.wbrc.com/video/2025/0... #50501Alabama @indivisible.org #50501Movement #ResistFacism

“I think the answer to being freaked out for me is about community. And I feel excited that we’re coming together as a nation on Saturday.” “We’ll probably learn a lot and help each other just by being together.” - Kyra Sedgwick (via Instagram) Join us on Saturday: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This is the Hands Off! map for Saturday. Nearly 400,000 people have signed up to attend over 1,000 events in all 50 states. We hope to see you in the streets in two days to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Protest poster design idea for April 5th! @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social

the "paid protesters" discourse happened in 2017 and R's killed it pretty quick because they realized it was only inflaming the situation (no faster way to infuriate your concerned constituents than calling them fake!). but Elon has the political instincts of Mr Bean so of course he's doubling down

🚨🚨🚨 ALERT: community organizer and @indivisibleskagit.org member Lelo Juarez was detained and is being held by ICE. We join Indivisibles across Washington, immigrant activists, and WA electeds in demanding his immediate release:

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

BREAKING: After a federal judge issued an injunction ending the refugee resettlement funding freeze, Rubio just started terminating all of the contracts. Judge Jamal Whitehead issues a follow-on injunction tonight ordering the terminated agreements reinstated unless Rubio actually follows the law.

The American Postal Workers Union said in a statement: “The public Postal Service is a democratic right, and we won’t back down in defending it … Together, we say: The U.S. Mail Is Not For Sale!”

folks let me tell you: a normal administration is "veep shit." this signal stuff is not veep shit, it's "the entire national security team of the Trump admin is complicit in behavior that ensures that every hostile government has a direct line of sight into American-decisionmaking" shit

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/BkO6BfsV

For $200,000, CEOs can slap their corporate logo on Donald Trump dressed as the Easter Bunny. It’s absurdly corrupt.

Town halls in general just got coverage on Meet the Press @halove4.bsky.social. Make your voice heard! Not sure where to start? Check out indivisible.org/groups to find (or found) a local group. What they're doing right now is wrong, and everybody knows it. Stand up and fight for your rights!

waiting for Representative Aderholt to face his constituents here in Northport, AL! where are you, Congressman? @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

Donald Trump is trying to dismantle public education in America. To every public school student, teacher, and parent: this is our moment to stick together and fight back.

"Politics is too important to be left to politicians." - Leah Greenberg Thanks to @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social for answering my question posted to @indivisible.org today on the weekly webinar. Looking forward to seeing your elevator pitch in written form, Leah!

I found @chrislhayes.bsky.social's interview with Schumer to be eye-opening. Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.

Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. EveryLibrary made it easy to take action today! action.everylibrary.org/saveimls2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social
