Your calls are working. Let’s keep the pressure up — if you’re represented by a Republican, tell them to reject Trump’s tax scam and massive giveaways to billionaires that stick everyday Americans with the bill: act.indivisible.org/...

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

💉🧵RFKJ has tapped Vinay Prasad to lead the FDA center that regulates vaccines. Who's Prasad? ✅oncologist ✅COVID-19 vaccine "skeptic" ✅advocate for treating cancer patients with placebos because "placebo trials are the gold standard" Perfect pick for vaccine denier RFKJ www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/h...

Amid all the chaos, we almost missed a May 3rd thread on the other platform by the U.S. Trade Representative about the exploitative & forced labor in supply chains that is unfair to American workers. It's a major problem we were tackling UNTIL DOGE CANCELED ALL OUR INTERNATIONAL GRANTS, FFS 😤

This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Project 2025 won't be stopped by leaders—it'll be survived by decentralized resistance. This isn’t a top-down movement. It’s you & your neighbors, your circles, your voice. Outlive authoritarian collapse by: Organizing locally Autonomously TOGETHER. No cavalry coming. We are the storm.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Police said Sunday a man was arrested and will face charges including attempted murder, terrorism and attempted arson in an early morning fire that badly damaged the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion and forced Gov. Josh Shapiro, his family and guests to quickly escape.

Hours after @governor.pa.gov’s family Seder with his 4 children, an arsonist set the Governor’s mansion on fire. It remains to be seen to what degree antisemitism motivated the arsonist, but the message is clear to Jews nationwide. That message of hate must be condemned by all.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
