There is no place for violence in our democracy — against anyone.

Rest assured. The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-263

We ask tough questions and demand real answers. If those in power attack journalism, silence scientists, and quietly erase access to research and public data—that’s not patriotism! Real patriotism protects dissent, demands facts, and refuses to be lied to. #TruthBrigade

As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Here’s a thread no one asked for: 1. SCIENCE IN THE US IS POLITICAL. No matter how much you want to ignore that fact, it is supported by taxpayer dollars and is therefore, political by nature. 2. BUT it has had bipartisan support for decades, which…

Food waste isn’t just wasteful — it’s catastrophic. 🌍 That means eating your leftovers, buying only what you’ll use, and cutting waste really can make a global difference. Let’s not let “the country of food waste” keep polluting our future. 🍽️♻️ great climate session, @redwineblueusa.bsky.social!

In the age of monarchs, kings issued decrees. Tsars of imperial Russia proclaimed ukases. Dictators of the 20th century made diktats. Trump issues executive orders. They make him feel powerful.  But arbitrary power depends on the acquiescence of everyone subjected to it.

Thou shalt not use tariffs to tax working class Americans and then pretend the money is being paid by foreign countries.

Trump’s Big Brutal Bill is law — and the pain is scheduled. ⏳ This @fairshareamerica.bsky.social timeline shows when the worst hits: 📉 Healthcare cuts 💰 Higher taxes on working families 🛑 Slashed safety nets See your state’s impact! 👇 #OBBBA #TrumpTax #TaxTheRich

Y’all really loved this post! I wanted to wax poetic for a minute about Lysenkoism. I’m adding the rest of the thread below and then I’ll ~explain~

My mission throughout my career as a public servant and as a Member of the U.S. House is to advocate for the most vulnerable in our communities. Any attempt to redistrict now is simply an attempt to silence those very voices. mrvan.house.gov/media/press-...

I just called Gov. Braun (317-232-4567) to say NO to a special session for rigging Indiana’s maps. Took 60 seconds of waiting on hold before I got the voicemail option. Make your voice heard, too! #NoSpecialSession #ProtectOurVote #INLeg

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People. Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We won’t let them.

130 Texans died in historic floods. 🌊 The Trump regime cut emergency services, then blamed the stats. 📉 Now they’re rigging maps to stay in power. 🗺️ Texas Dems broke quorum to block Trump’s gerrymander. We back them. ✊ 🔗 indivisible.org/resource/one... #TexasDeservesBetter

Trump got mocked on “South Park,” drowned out by bagpipes in Scotland & blocked in court (again). And… 🏳️‍⚧️ 16 states sue to protect trans healthcare 🐢 A sea turtle made it home 🌈 Gilroy, CA held its first Pride @jesscraven101.bsky.social ➡️ chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com/p/extra-extr...

Trump got a bad #jobsreport 🤔 📉 Only 73k jobs added 📉 Layoffs rising 📈 Tariffs spiking prices He fired the #BLS commissioner. Because the data embarrassed him. This isn’t how a #democraticrepublic works. It’s how #authoritarian regimes behave. 🔗 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

What’s one piece of “health advice” you’ve seen online that turned out to be total BS—or even dangerous? 💬 We need to talk about how Big Wellness profits off our insecurities while real care gets defunded. 🗣️ #TruthBrigade

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

Paper plates that used to cost $6 are now $12.13. 😳 That’s not inflation. That’s #TrumpTariffs. 🤑 P&G just raised prices on 25% of U.S. products to cover a $1B tariff hit—and we’re the ones paying for it. 😠 This is a con, not a comeback. 💰 👉 www.reuters.com/business/pro...

"History can change. History dances." ~ Daniel Hunter, @indivisible.org YES! #OneMillionRising #Indivisible #NonCooperation

#1millionrising #onemillionrising Legacy media has failed us in so many ways. Boycott, cancel, don't watch these organizations that are upholding the regime. CBS/Paramount march in NYC was a recent act of noncompliance. FVCK CBS and all media that have folded to him.

Pick. Your. Lane. Nobody is asking you to do everything. Each one of us can do at least ONE act of non-cooperation. #OneMillionRising #Indivisible #NonCooperation

Identify the institutions we participate in, like our unions, or the businesses we patronize and pressure them to take concrete steps against authoritarianism. Loyalty shifts and defections among these institutions can cause the authoritarian regime to crumble. #onemillionrising #nokings

"Noncooperation is the act of refusing to cooperate or comply with requests, demands, or order." #OneMillionRising

When you bring about loyalty shifts and defections in key pillars, you are playing a critical role in the success of pro-democracy movements. 💙 #OneMillionRising #Indivisible #Authoritarianism

"Democracies do not die with military coups or tanks in the streets any more. Instead, we see democracies die subtle deaths starting at the ballot box, when democratically elected leaders go on to subvert the norms and institutions of democracy." ~ Maria Stephan, @indivisible.org #OneMillionRising

"We don't have to be alone in this work and we don't have to be." It's not an activist Zoom until @ashdashlee.bsky.social gets going! If you're on these a lot, you know what I mean. #OneMillionRising

Trailblazers, like Rachel Cohen, can kickstart a wave of non-cooperation by bravely standing up for what they believe in. The key is to enlist OTHERS, like Rachel did when she started collecting hundreds of signatures from others in the Big Law circle. ...this is how it's done! #OneMillionRising

Session 2 of @indivisible.org #OneMillionRising is happening now! You can join us all live on YouTube here ➡️ www.youtube.com/live/ahLB5Fr...

The immigration system isn’t “broken.” It’s rigged—by design. 🤔 New video from @nilc.org shows how politicians + prison execs broke the system to divide us. 📽️ It’s time we stop blaming immigrants—and start naming the real culprits. 🗣️ #WeGetThereTogether #TruthBrigade #ImmigrationJustice

July 30 marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program that covers around 1 in 5 Americans. Learn more about the program, including who it covers and how enrollment rates vary by state: www.pewresearch.org/...

We need more elected officials who prioritize people over profits. This is how we build a future rooted in care, dignity, and connection. Thank you, @repmrvan.bsky.social! 💚 #MedicaidMatters #MentalHealthCare #StandUpForCare #INPolitics #ProtectMedicaid

Trump’s Big Ugly Law guts Indiana: ❌ 28.5k jobs lost 🚨 268k lose healthcare 🥫 279k lose food assistance 🏥 12 rural hospitals at risk 💸 All to hand $4.5T to billionaires. How your state’s getting screwed @fairshareamerica.bsky.social: drive.google.com/drive/folder... #BigUglyBill #FairShareAmerica

Confused by who actually pays the tariffs? 🧐 We do. Good ol' Americans. 🇺🇸 Whomp. Whomp. I thought this article 👇 explains "how tariffs work" in a way that I could understand. Worth a read. Tariffs ARE taxes. Consumers PAY tariffs. 💰 ➡️ contrarian.substack.com/p/the-new-eu... #TariffWars

From halting Trump’s birthright attack ⚖️ to $429M in medical debt erased 💸 to tax-free period products in MO 🩸—we are winning! We don’t ignore the pain. We also don’t ignore our power. Good news from @jesscraven101.bsky.social ⬇️ chopwoodcarrywater.substack.com/p/extra-extr... #ChopWoodCarryWater

No one can be truly free in a society considered by many to be unjust. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns. Our job — the responsibility of all who seek a just society and a decent world — is to move as far as possible away from hateful violence, toward social justice.

Bernie Sanders & Zohran Mamdani have shown us how progressives win: no hedge fund cash, no corporate PACs — just people power, bold policies & working-class solidarity. Now the oligarchs are coming for us, but we're fighting back.✊ 🧵 👇

🚨 Trump froze $6.8B in school funding. 📚 After-school programs, teacher training, support for English learners—on hold. 🗣️ We spoke out. We fought back. ✅ They caved. Stay loud. Our kids deserve better. 🎒 ➡️ www.washingtonpost.com/education/20... #SavePublicSchools #SummerOfAction

Horrific. We will not look away.

Even some of Trump's biggest media supporters are turning on him over the Epstein cover-up. 🤔 Release. The. Epstein. Files. 🇺🇸 ➡️ www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #ReleaseTheFiles #Trump #Indivisible

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

In 2022, we led research with @wmtfaction.bsky.social on talking taxes. I had hunch that "fair share" - as in make corporations/rich pay theirs - fell flat. Fair being in eye of beholder & thus possible justification for flat tax. Sure enough, we found "pay what they owe" tested better.

💚 He showed up to replace a lost green card. 💨 ICE disappeared him. ☠️ His family was told he died. 🏥 He was found alive in Guatemala. This is real. This is America in 2025. If you’re safe, speak up. We will not look away. ➡️ davidpepper.substack.com/p/disappeare... #ICEStories #autocracy

They’re not just defunding #PBS. They're trying to defund empathy. @jojofromjerz.bsky.social's article gutted me & reminded me why this fight matters. We remember #BigBird. Mr. Rogers. Maria. They helped raise us. We fight for our kids watching now. 💙 jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/defunding-...

Unmarried and pregnant? In Tennessee, that now means no medical care — because a doctor “disapproved.” 🏥 This is the war on women, and @joycewhitevance.bsky.social lays it out with clarity and fire. 🔥 ➡️ joycevance.substack.com/p/the-war-on... #WeWontGoBack #WarOnWomen #2026Matters

Absolutely insane cruelty in the Big Bullshit Bill. Gabe Evans, Lauren Boebert, Jeff Crank and Jeff Hurd all voted to take food away from hungry kids and seniors, healthcare away from pregnant women and veterans, and economic opportunities in clean energy from all of us. Via @cprnews.bsky.social
