No one in our state should go hungry

I've been unable to think of little else since watching the video of masked secret police from ICE whisking away Rumeysa Ozturk - a shocking scene of police state repression I never hoped to see in America What's even worse is why she was disappeared. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/rume...

Here's one fight I think we're winning--I'm guessing Massachusetts decides not to expand the private jetport, after remarkable resistance www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Republicans are helping banks rip people off and no one should be surprised. But if you don’t want this to pass in the House, call your member and tell them to put the interest of people over banks.

Durbin and Schumer have called the shots since before many of us were born. It's time for new leadership that's ready to fight back against Trump and his billionaire pals. @durbin.senate.gov — it's time to pass the torch. chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

This is straight out to the authoritarian playbook: silence dissent by making people scared to speak up. The Democratic Party should be fighting like hell against these illegal actions by the Trump admin.

Hours after the most senior fascist clowns shared war plans on a group chat, 12 Senate Dems voted for yet another Trump State Dept nominee. We can't afford to let Dems roll over and play dead any longer. If we want a change, we have to demand it - that's on all of us.

About that claim by the administration that it "won't touch" Social Security . . .

🚨🚨🚨 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:

Wow. Huge kudos to @theguardian.com for recreating FEMA's "Future Risk Index" search tool after the Trump administration destroyed it (and the years of work that went into it). www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We want to spread the word about the nationwide mobilizations on April 5. Tell us why you will be taking to the streets: bit.ly/April5socials

Have you signed up for a Hands Off! National Day of Action event on Saturday, April 5? Let's join together to tell Trump and Musk that this country does not belong to them! Use this link to find an event near you: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=t...

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).
