“Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government,” James Madison wrote, in 1822. Two centuries later, the incredible shrinking establishment clause would have worried him. It should trouble us as well.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Trump’s first 100 days have been full of chaos, cruelty, and autocratic ambition. But that’s only half the story. Democracy is fighting back—hard. Don’t miss the latest Publisher’s Roundup from @normeisen.bsky.social, tracking the resistance and mapping the road ahead.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Let's talk about the so-called "SAVE" Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a voter suppression bill. #HandsOffHerVote

What happened in Louisiana deserves more attention. 4 MAGA-supported constitutional amendments. All failed. Great organizing work by folks like Gary Chambers. www.joyannreid.com/p/that-louis...

If any of these are your representatives, urge them to divest from Tesla: Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), and Dwight Evans (D-Pa.).

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will *immediately* try to crush dissent and offload blame.

Well well well a Democrat just won at Trump +17 district in Pennsylvania Don’t tell me Trump is popular And Musk is even more hated GOP will be swept out of office and numbers too large for even Trump’s election denial EO to interfere with

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

They're saying "Here comes the airplane" when you can see plain as day that it's a spoon. They're playing you for a fool. They're laughing at you

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

I want to make it clear that no executive order can change federal law and every executive order trump has signed has expressly disclaimed the intent to. The screenshot is from the DEI EO. That’s before you get to courts actually blocking big parts of it. And yet the overcompliance is legion.

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich. Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil
