812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

Lakeport. Sat. 10/18. Noon. See you there!

For whoever needs to hear this today--don't allow cynicism a seat at your table. Thank you @aoc.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/FVRRK...

Yeah, Not unless you are trying to undermine national security.

My recent sermon to the UU congregation of Lake County: open.substack.com/pub/deniseru...

I'll be there. You?

Appreciating this essay by the amazing Rebecca Solnit: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/on-not-surre...

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Another great video about what's happening in Lake County CA with @indivisiblelakecountyca.com This one is called "Our Soft Power Secret" youtu.be/6ClsHWr9nKA?...

Just signed up for "Signs of Solidarity" with #OneMillionRising You can too: act.indivisible.org/signup/signs.... Includes actions you can take and a toolkit.

Republicans have made ICE the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po... #Indivisible #onemillionrising

The pups are basking in the sun together, hatching a plan.

Great video, @indivisiblelakecountyca.com!!! (And not just 'cuz I'm in it) I was surprised to learn of how many people did not know who John Lewis was. (If you don't know--please google 'John Lewis Good Trouble". He was an amazing human being.

Please look into the Project 2025 Tracker. It is a serious grass-roots opposition attempt to monitor the Trump Administration's implementation of the radical objectives of Project 2025. We are already far down the authoritarian path, with 100 of 313 objectives completed. www.project2025.observer

Don't for a minute think that this is about securing the border and enforcing immigration laws.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Great interview. "I get frustrated with people who proclaim 'That's it, We are a fascist country! I'm done!' and I'm saying 'I'm not in prison, I'm alive! And as long as those two things are true, I can continue to speak up.'" youtu.be/UHK7YTsLt2A?... .

If you are in Lake County CA or follow indivisible accounts, our official Indivisible Lake County CA account is @indivisiblelakecountyca.com . Would appreciate your follows as there is another indivisible account for our county out there with ZERO posts and lots of followers.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Wow: robertreich.substack.com/p/a-remarkab...

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Largest crowd in recent memory in rural Lake County -Lakeport CA #NOKINGS

Way to go, Lakeport CA! #NoKings

@indivisible.org @konoctiindivisible.bsky.social Lakeport CA on No Kings Day

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

Here's a fun fact. June 14, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired in the American Revolution – in defiance of the authoritarian rule of King George III.

Our statement on Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California.

And this is exactly why we don't want to triple the ICE budget as has been proposed in the Budget Bill (and passed by the house by one vote). Let's not give him an army of masked men.

Retired UC Berkeley Professor (and former Dept of Labor Secretary) Robert Reich delivers a powerful analysis on WHY the president wants to escalate the tensions in L.A.. Please share widely. robertreich.substack.com/p/a-time-for...

Regarding the budget bill—It’s not just contempt power —it is the 3X of ICE budget. This creates Trump’s private army—his brownshirts. Not many folks are focused on this, but it’s a BIG deal. This bill MUST be stopped now. @indivisible.org

These stories are used to DISTRACT us from things like the budget bill --the largest transfer of wealth from poor to wealthy in our history. It 3Xs ICE funding, funds more lawlessness-- Plus loads of other dystopian level BS. MESSAGE TO THE MEDIA: Focus on holding power to account! DO YOUR JOB!

‼️ While you were sleeping, House Republicans passed their One Big Bullshit Bill, MAGA Murder Budget, Tax Scam, whatever you wanna call it. Their massive transfer of wealth that steals health care and food from millions of Americans. But this fight is not yet over. Call your Senators. 👉 5calls.org

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
