Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted today for a photo of seashells. A grand jury returned an indictment charging Comey over an Instagram photo he posted last year of seashells on a beach arranged to say “8647.”

Schools in Milwaukee and Madison are closing for May Day, making Wisconsin the fifth state where students and teachers will be off on Friday (joining Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, and Oregon). We hope you will join the nationwide day of economic disruption: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

Like we said, nobody should trust any ‘ceasefire’ announced by Trump on “Truth Social.” Congress must act to stop the regime’s illegal war. Demand that your senators and representative return to DC, reconvene Congress, and end Trump’s war of choice with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Middle East scholar @eskandarsadeghi.bsky.social says the "extremely precarious" ceasefire between the United States and Iran effectively leaves the Strait of Hormuz under ongoing Iranian control, part of "a fundamental change in the region."

“ICE is the face of a prerogative state, emerging or actual. It swoops in, it ignores safeguards, you can’t escape it."

Whether you’re represented by Democrats or Republicans, it’s extra important for your Members of Congress to hear from you right now. Urge your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.
