The nation could see a 10% drop in revenue collections, more than $500 billion, due to the administration's attack on the IRS. That's a big drop in revenue in such a short amount of time.

"These 200 people oversee more than $200 billion a year in utility spending." "... why the public’s engagement – or lack thereof – can shape the future of our energy system."

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On April 5, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Please join us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

Just like they are STILL not studying the health effects of unlimited gun possession. Because if they don't study the subject, they don't make any legislation.

The Tesla protest today in Portland. The size of the protest doubles every week. Today we covered around a 1/2 mile of Macadam.

On April 5, we’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement — because the fight against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump is just starting. Join us: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

From my esteemed friend Sheldon Pollack, foremost Sanskrit scholar in the U.S. and former chair of the academic dept at Columbia U that the White House has targeted. Essential reading even though—and maybe especially since—Columbia has already shamefully caved. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We asked, and you delivered. Yesterday over thousands of people showed up to support their public lands. We can’t thank y’all enough for your support. And most importantly: the community YOU have been building since January 20th.

🙌👏👍 to those protesting in North Adams on Sunday including our fellow Indivisibles from Greylock Together!

hey nobody freak out but there are now over 600 rallies scheduled around the country for April 5th handsoff2025.com

It's insane that at at time when so many people in Oregon and the nation are having a hard time putting food on the table, the U.S. House Republican budget plan would force cuts to the nation's first line of defense against hunger

A great piece by @kileyprice.bsky.social for @insideclimatenews.org on the bigger picture for National Parks right now. @resistancerangers.bsky.social

I had a good chat with @jenrubin.bsky.social just a bit ago about the upcoming big national April 5th Hands Off mobilization! contrarian.substack.com/p/ezra-levin...

Oil and gas industry wants to be able to dump highly toxic fracking wastewater—full of benzene and heavy metals, often radioactive—with more abandon, including in rivers and streams, and White House is open to that. insideclimatenews.org/news/2003202...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The mom of a USPS worker asked me to make a version of this as a yard sign. We must FIGHT to stop the dismantling of the postal service. Protect our postal workers! Proceeds go to the American Postal Workers Union! Get yours: www.etsy.com/listing/1891366163/us-mail-not-for-sale-yard-sign-24x18

Republicans have proposed cuts to economic security programs to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, which would worsen housing instability and undermine efforts to resolve homelessness. Policymakers should reject these cuts and prioritize families’ basic needs. www.cbpp.org/blog/cuts-to...

Let’s be clear: Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal department created by Congress. So this GOP attack on public education will have to end with Congress — and that means we need to maximize pressure on Congress to ensure the Department of Education outlasts the Trump Administration.

"That Americans seem to be rediscovering the art, science and potency of noncooperation — combined with a robust protest capacity and legal action — shows that resistance against Trump’s agenda in America is not only alive and well. It is savvy, diversifying and probably just getting started."

Early voting has started in Wisconsin, where Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court through 2028. Help us get out the vote for workers’ rights champion Susan Crawford: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Students are holding a "study-in" at the Department of Education to protest Trump's attempt to abolish the Department. We're calling it what it is: Trump and Musk are stealing from kids to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We won't let it stand.

BREAKING: students are launching a "study-in" at the Dept. of Education to protest Trump's plan to abolish the Department. Trump and Musk are defunding our schools, so we're here with our desks and schoolwork. If they wanna shut down the Dept., they'll have to go through us.

Love this essay/manifesto by @anandwrites.bsky.social "Because having, and nurturing, in your life a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference and living and letting live is everything they are not and is everything they are trying to take away."

One of the fun things this week has been seeing all the creative ways local Indivisible groups drive home the point their hiding GOP member of congress is a coward.

The violence inflicted on Gaza by Israel goes beyond bombs. It’s a systemic denial of access to essential resources, including energy and water. But in Deir Al-Balah camp Palestinians are taking back their power with solar-powered water pumps.👇 Find out more 🔗 350.org/story-solar-...

BREAKING: Students announce a "Study-In" at the Department of Education. If Trump and Musk want to abolish the Department of Education and destroy our futures, they'll have to go through us. Join us tomorrow starting at 10am.

Third Act Oregon members spotted at the USPS protest today at noon, organized by the postal workers union. In the rain. Contact your reps. Don't let them privatize the post office. If they do, how will the state secure our votes when we vote by mail?

Newest Chinese EV can charge in the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank (and it's under $30k) Maybe Elon should stop his DC vandalism spree and do some real work www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Cuts to Medicaid will affect all of us in rural communities — even if you’re not on Medicaid. It helps keep hospitals open. Let me explain.
