I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

It's very important for our democracy that many people in this regime go to prison during the coming era of truth, reconciliation, and accountability.

I felt pretty darn good about this press release on Iger and Disney. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Interesting

Reminder: Disney is not just "Disney." Humans run the big company. Some of those human are cowards who don't want to be named. The coward at the top of the heap is Bob Iger, who fashions himself as a leader. Cancel Disney+ and pressure Iger to change course. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Maybe just a bit biased ;) She’s right tho - You DO NOT need to register to attend a protest (and if you want to register, you can always use fake info and set up an email for it). If you chose to - it does help us predict crowd sizes and report accurately, tho!

I'm biased, but I thought Leah was on fire here.

If you are not seeing Greisa's speech right now, you are missing out, and you should catch it later.

Getting started in 4 minutes!!!

Uh, there is a lot to discuss. I'm looking forward to being in community with folks in 30 minutes to talk through how we organize effectively with everything happening right now. Join us and bring discussion topics!

this is the shit i want to see

Yes + Jeffries. The "smart" short-term play for companies right now is to collude with the regime. Congressional leaders should be making it clear how stupid and self-destructive that will be in the medium-term.

this is incredibly true and tracks with a basic dynamic we've seen all along: the people who were cowed into submission by Trump's win were elites. regular people have never given an inch

No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org

Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

Read this 👇and #DoNotCave. @indivisible.org speaks for millions of us, including people like me - your constituent. #DoNotRollOver #NoSchumerRollOver #NoToGOPSpendingBill. @democrats.senate.gov #DoNotCave especially you @schumer.senate.gov!

Support democracy and oppose the regime? Support constitutional rights and oppose occupation of American cities? Support peaceful protest and oppose political violence? Show it with action. Join a local No Kings protest or better yet host one in your own town. NoKings.org

We should be alarmed that the VPOTUS is lying so blatantly about this. He knows he's lying, and he knows the media and informed public know he's lying. And he's lying anyway. Scary stuff.

This is a progression of tweets from Musk that represent his downhill slide from sanity or rationality into the abyss 🕳️. This, as he foments violence in the UK and interferes with that country. Have no idea what type of medications he is on… but everyone needs to get off of that X platform.

Been clean and sober from X for 10 months and it feels great. I used to think I needed to be on there to "engage in the debate." Nah. It's worse than a waste of time. Even seemingly righteous engagement there does nothng but fuel a fascist propaganda machine. Just. Stop.

Damn @indivisible.org is everywhere! Let’s go Ecuador!!!!

Rarely does this regime give such a compliment to the folks fighting back. Please work to make this courage contagious: nokings.org

As if you needed another reason to subscribe to @theguardian.com.

We're living through an authoritaian putch, and nobody knows exactly how best to fight back. So we should all be trying stuff and learning as quickly as possible. Pritzker demonstrated a good tactic for protecting his state - others should use it.

Lots to talk about today! Will be talking about the govt funding showdown, building No Kings 2, and some cool tactics we're seeing bubbliing up from the movement. Come with your questions for the discussion!

Horrific and indefensible. indivisible.org/statements/i...

"The only known solution to creeping authoritarianism is broad-based, peaceful, geographically dispersed mass engagement by everyday Americans. That’s it. That’s what works." Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Many thanks to @timdickinson.bsky.social for chatting last week about the coming No Kings Day, and @maddow.msnbc.com for highlighting the piece tonight! Now's the time to start registering your local events! nokings.org

This kicks ass. Imagine walking around and seeing these up everywhere in shop windows. Imagine folks starting to question why some businesses have them and others don't. This is what building community wide defiance looks like. It's not everything, but it's something. And it's something you can do!

I am once again asking you to remember there are at least 2 Ezras who comment on national politics.

Trump cratering in new NBC/CBS polls, too "It’s all terrible for Trump. He is deeply underwater...and despite idiotic commentary from Dem analysts he is also deeply underwater on his invasion of US cities." Read @simonwdc.bsky.social. Discusses my new piece www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/our-recomm...

You should probably pay for Brian's newsletter because his analysis contends with the reality of the fascist moment, is clear-eyed and honest, and gets into the nitty gritty of congressional politics. I've thought that a health care demand makes sense, but this is a solid counter argument.

Incredible showing for democracy and against occupation today.

These tech CEOs are little more than vassals paying tribute to a king in exchange for favors and protections. “We humbly kneel before your royal personage to THANK you, your highness…you have our undying loyalty for the honor of your patronage…” 👑

You and I are richer than Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. because we can afford not to polish the boots of the authoritarian clown.

Banger after banger after banger. The Mamdani campaign is so good that I'm excited for its impact on the upcoming primary season in congression races. Good candidates are going to learn from this.

Do you ever watch something and think "damn, historians are going use this clip a lot in describing the moment we're in." Anyway, here's another clip they'll use: nokings.org

It’s not just a protest. It’s an ERA.

“Jeffries and Schumer, get your shit together. Tell us what your demands are.” Another government funding deadline is coming up and @ezralevin.bsky.social has déjà vu about Democrats caving to Trump. Tell Democrats to reject any GOP budget that fuels Trump’s chaos: indivisible.org/campaign/car...

I don't think anybody covered the Feb/Mar Dem debacle over the GOP funding bill with better, earlier, or more actionable insights than @joshtpm.bsky.social. So this is very much worth a read.

Join the conversation in about 10 minutes! We'll be talking a lot about planning and prep for No Kings Day 2, but bring questions on your mind too!

I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.

Best piece I've read so far on Dem strategy for the shut down fight this month. The one thing I'd add is this: Dems need to state their demands ASAP. Last time they promised they had a plan...and then they surrendered at the last minute. Say what you're fighting for! bsky.app/profile/jenr...

“Remember that Trump followers and the politically disengaged likely aren’t seeing any real coverage of what’s happening. The more you can bring it to the streets of your town, to school board meetings, to city council chambers, the more actual events will take hold in people’s minds.”

Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night. It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods. It means arresting children. These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.

Indivisible newsletter + weekly action items out! See y'all for discussion on Thursday's What's the Plan. ezralevin.substack.com/p/the-wrong-...

I walk outside and go to dinner all the time in Chicago. Tyranny is when fascist hacks send the military to occupy an American city because its residents voted for Democrats.

Baltimore I think we have to protest at the ICE office on monday

BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi. This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org. We ditched X for BlueSky early this year. And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof. I don't know what we'll do next. Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.
