So… if a voting bill can’t get 60 votes, try stuffing it into a budget bill and hope nobody notices. Very normal and subtle.

🚨 Tens of millions of acres of national forest could lose protections. Today, Mike Lee moved to attach a last-minute amendment to a wildfire bill that would roll back Roadless Rule protections. Wildfire prevention is important but this deserves public attention now.

The U.S. just launched new strikes on Iran after CENTCOM said an American Apache was downed. The House already voted 215–208 to curb unauthorized Iran hostilities. Now the Senate needs to act. Call your senators: no war without Congress.

For a year, people have kept watch outside the detention center because the harm has not stopped. Detention is tearing families apart, endangering vulnerable people, and being excused with “it’s the law.” History has warned us what happens when law is used to bury conscience.

The House just voted 213–211 to advance S. 2, a $70 billion immigration-enforcement funding bill. This is not final yet. The bill would provide $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and additional DHS funding through 2029. Action step: Call your U.S. House representative now! 🔊

Hunger strikers at Adelanto Detention Center in CA met with LA city council members to speak out about the brutal conditions inside. In response, guards retaliated- raiding cells, deploying chemical agents, and sending organizers to solitary confinement.

🚨 BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to halt U.S. military action against Iran. The vote was 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats. This does not automatically end the war today. The resolution still goes to the Senate, and Trump is expected to fight it.

A federal judge temporarily ruled that an “8647” flag is protected political speech in this context, saying no reasonable observer would view it as an actual threat when it was displayed at a protest calling for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.

Today and everyday

Local governments across the country are using every tool at their disposal: zoning laws, safety inspections, utility restrictions, and legal pressure, making these facilities as hard to operate as possible.

Spirit Airlines is a reminder that foreign policy has domestic consequences. A war-driven fuel shock moves through balance sheets, bankruptcy plans, payrolls, ticket prices, and stranded passengers. When leaders choose escalation, working people receive the bill first.

The 10 wealthiest Americans hold $2.664 trillion combined. That could fund 26 years of SNAP at annual spending levels. It could buy 6.5 million median-priced homes. It could wipe out federal student loan debt and still leave nearly $1 trillion. It equals the net worth of 13.8 MILLION US households.

May Day march through DTLA today-over 10,000 strong!

May 1 is tomorrow. How many people have you personally reminded about May Day today?

May 1 is TOMORROW 🔊

In Louisiana v. Callais, the Court struck down Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district, a district created after Black voters successfully challenged an earlier map that diluted their representation.

🚨 Black communities are being targeted! 🚨 After the Supreme Court weakened a key Voting Rights Act protection, Marsha Blackburn is calling on Tennessee lawmakers to redraw the map and create another Republican seat in Memphis, a majority-Black city. First Louisiana. Now Tennessee.

Virginia voters won today. 🎉 A court refused to block Virginia’s new voter-approved congressional map, a map expected to favor Democrats, rejecting another GOP attempt to stop it. Republicans have drawn maps for power for years. Now Democrats in Virginia are fighting back and doing the same.

More theories coming out over what happened last night. 🙃

Virginia voters approved a map that could put up to four more House seats in Democratic reach, and Republicans immediately sued to try to stop it. Republicans have been drawing favorable maps for years. Now that Democrats are doing it too, suddenly they’re outraged.

Happy Earth Day. 🌎 Protecting democracy also means protecting the planet. Trump is rolling back climate protections, opening the Arctic Refuge to drilling, and backing policies that weaken wildlife and public-land protections. For Earth Day, take 5 minutes: use 5 Calls or text RESIST to 50409.

Congratulations Virginia on a big win! 🎉

A person who spends Easter threatening to end an entire civilization, attacks the pope for preaching peace, and then today, posts an image of himself as Jesus is not showing Christian leadership. Trump is showing how faith gets twisted when it’s used as a prop for power. #Jesus #Faith #Christian

BREAKING / MAJOR WIN FOR HUNGARY: Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat. 🎉 After 16 years in power, Orbán’s far-right government has suffered a significant loss. Trump and JD Vance had openly backed him ahead of the vote. #Hungary #NoKings

After U.S.-Iran talks ended without a deal, Trump announced this morning a U.S. Navy blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Because the Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of global oil shipments, the risk of rapid military and economic escalation is significant.

Breaking from Reuters 🔊

RAPID ACTION ALERT: WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT 7PM! “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He has set an 8 PM deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and is threatening to destroy Iranian civilization. White House, Washington D.C. Time: Tonight (April 7) @7 PM

More than 50 members of Congress have now come out in support of impeachment or the 25th Amendment for the president of the United States. The pressure is working 🔊

And he believes he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

From our President on Easter. 🤡

They want you to be angry and vandalize things. That's why they complain that your activism is peaceful. #NoKings #WeThePeople #Resistance

Just a few of the 8 million Americans who were out protesting. This was the view from Santa Monica, CA #NoKingsProtest #NoKings3

A huge thank you to Indivisible, 50501, the AFL-CIO, MoveOn, the ACLU, Public Citizen, the National Action Network, and the thousands of local organizers who made yesterday possible and to every single person who showed up.
