It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

THIS. We all have this strength in us. The people, working in the interests of others, always have. Its THEM that don't. The ones who've rolled over, looked away first. Are complicit because it protects THEIR interests.

Important to remind Congress everyday of facts: 1. POTUS immunity to break law, doesn't make it legal. He is still breaking the law. 2. Immunity is only protects against criminal charges in court system. 3. Impeachment is outside this, it's political, and Congress has duty to uphold Constitution.

This is shameful extortion of an ally on behalf of Russia. Trump is a national security threat, a clear and present danger, and he should be removed from office. He should be impeached. Democrats need to SAY THIS. Otherwise it becomes normalized. Make Republicans defend it.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

Fellow book lovers! There is a better way to buy our books than Amazon. Instead of putting $ in Bezos' pocket, every purchase on @bookshop-org.bsky.social financially supports independent bookstores. You can even select the bookstore you'd like to support.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.
