Here's a bright spot: today there's a ribbon cutting at UC Irvine, which is opening up the first all electric hospital in America! Awesome! www.ucihealth.org/about-us/new...

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today. The system is rigged.

A judge on Friday permanently barred the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship on federal voter registration forms, a change dictated in an executive order President Trump signed in March. A White House spokesman said the government would appeal. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

🎶 We may have come here on different ships, but we're in the same boat now ...🎶 #Indivisible #WorkersOverBillionaires #OldAndBold @thirdactorg.bsky.social #MEpolitics #LaborDay

Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art

Tribal groups are making it clear: clean energy cuts in the Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will cause major harm to their communities. Thank you @heinrich.senate.gov, @wyden.senate.gov, and @schatz.bsky.social for heeding their call and fighting back against these reckless cuts 👏

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood. That means fewer cancer screenings. Less birth control. Less basic health care. All while Trump & the GOP give billionaires more tax breaks. This is a theft of power, care, and dignity.

83% of Americans say they haven’t paid for any news in the last year, yet most quality reporting is still trapped behind paywalls. This leaves Americans less informed or trusting of media- and why @couriernewsroom.bsky.social will never charge for our local news. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

The US Climate.gov, a key public climate science website, has been shut down by the Trump administration and is now redirecting to noaa.gov/climate.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

“Completely unqualified" is what Gov. Shapiro says about RFK Jr., & he’s right. RFK Jr. is dismantling systems that keep us alive, from vaccines to research to basic public health. Against RFK Jr., #StandUpForScience means standing for science, health & life itself. zurl.co/D9LGb#StandUpForScience #CutsCostLives

What about the kids?

Since 2024, voting restrictions have flown under the radar. Smaller red states are quietly passing laws that make it harder to vote, and will affect the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

Donald Trump’s return to the White House is forcing Europe to reckon with a major digital vulnerability: The US holds a kill switch over its internet.

OPINION: It is increasingly hard for Europeans to find common ground with the Trump administration. But saying it out loud carries the risk of worsening relations. However, to feed false hopes of constructive engagement with the White House is both dishonest and irresponsible.

1/ The Fourth Circuit issued a must-read opinion about the Trump admin’s latest move to erode checks & balances and Americans’ core constitutional rights in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, a Reagan-appointee, had powerful words about what’s at stake: 🔗 bit.ly/3YF1eF1

Demand that your members of Congress speak out against Trump’s defiance of the Supreme Court, push for an end to the lawless abductions, and move to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home immediately. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/constit...

We had 33K people tune in to this conversation. Here it is for people who couldn't catch it live. "Rebellions are built on hope." With @hcrichardson.bsky.social How Trump's Greed, Grift, and Racism Are Collapsing America's Democratic Experiment open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

A federal judge is weighing contempt proceedings against Trump officials over Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia, wrongfully sent to El Salvador. Judge Paula Xinis has questioned why Garcia is still “inexplicably detained” in the notorious CECOT mega-prison. www.democracynow.org/2025/4/16/he...

This decision affirms what we have long known: the government’s conduct in this case is unlawful and a threat to people and our constitution.

"I think we're in a constitutional crisis." @marcelias.bsky.social explains that Judge Boasberg's ruling officially acknowledges that the Trump administration showed “a willful disregard” for court orders and starts the process to hold admin officials in contempt: youtu.be/5HRmolBoM_k

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

If you are a NC voter or know someone who is, make sure that your vote will be counted. Especially if you are a US citizen living abroad! For more information/help go to votefromabroad.org @demsabroad.bsky.social @demsabroadnl.bsky.social @demsabroadcanada.bsky.social

Please read this from Senator Murphy and then urge your elected officials to do everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home.

The Trump administration has proposed fully eliminating Head Start, the program created during Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” that offers free child care to over 1 million low-income parents. www.democracynow.org/2025/4/14/he...

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

We’re proud to represent members of the public health and science community in suing NIH over its illegal, unscientific, and undemocratic cancellation of research on now-forbidden topics like gender identity and DEI. Here are 5 things you can do to #KilltheCuts & #SaveOurScience ⬇️ @apha.org

NEW: In a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, the Trump administration said it will not return a Maryland father erroneously sent to a Salvadoran prison, despite a Supreme Court order requiring his return. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

SFR (Swiss TV) video of the climate strike in Bern this weekend. www.instagram.com/reel/DIWe0AW...

It passed in the House. Now it's time to call your Senators! They will be voting on this in a few weeks. In-person voter registration will disenfranchise Americans abroad, including the military. It will also have a dire impact on the elderly and disabled in the United States. #SAVEAct
