We feel the heat; we see the fires. We’re quite aware of climate disasters. So just who benefits when the White House says polluters don’t pollute and gives them a pass on poison? Everyday people - or fossil fuel investors? Speak up! #Truth Brigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/2L3n88FB

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

We’re offering a training on how to identify, defuse, and prevent the spread of political violence. By standing up in defense of democracy and in opposition to violence, we spread the courage for more to do so.

Trump is piloting a program to let AI review seniors’ medical information and decide what Medicare covers for them — while giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. We must call on every Member of Congress to block this. 👇

TOMORROW: Protest Trump’s hostile takeover of DC at a citywide march. Our partners at @freedcproject.bsky.social — joined by local Indivisibles — are marching from Malcolm X Park to the White House to demand that federal forces LEAVE DC NOW.

The Trump regime wants to let AI decide which Medicare patients receive care (while giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage). This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill. Your Members of Congress need to hear from you. 👇

We need Colbert’s bold and frank commentary now as much as ever, and we need to stop corporations like CBS from cowing to political intimidation of this administration. Add your name to the petition to demand they reverse their decision and keep Colbert on air! sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...

Workers are the backbone of our state and our country. That’s why, since taking office, we’ve invested in apprenticeships and job training, protected worker’s rights, and prioritized building pathways to work, wages, and wealth for every Marylander.

American workers and labor unions are the backbone of our nation, working tirelessly to build a stronger and more prosperous nation for all. This #LaborDay, let us honor their contributions and dedication by continuing the fight to protect their right to organize and collectively bargain.

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

New threats from this regime come fast — we have to move just as quickly. Fighting back against schemes like Trump’s map-rigging takes urgent resources. Your donation makes it possible. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/d...

I’m going to keep saying it. RFK must resign or be fired. People will not only be sicker because of him; they will die.

On a special Labor Day weekend Coffee Klatch, I reflect on what I’ve witnessed during my time in politics and how it connects to our struggle today. We also discuss Trump’s continued occupation, not just of American cities, but the American economy. https://youtu.be/v5mmLwI_KmA

A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from carrying out speedy deportations of undocumented migrants detained in the interior of the United States.

Take 15 minutes of your day to watch the response yesterday from @govpritzker.illinois.gov regarding Trump's threat to send the military into Chicago.

What Trump is doing in DC isn't about “law and order.” If he cared about that, he wouldn’t have gutted DC’s ability to fund its own police force. This is about Trump playing king at the expense of DC's 700K residents. The American people must stand against this abuse of power.

I am honored and excited to be part of such a talented and passionate group of Indivisibles! The MD Convening was a huge success and the coalition formed as a result will propel the resistance in Maryland! bsky.app/hashtag/mdin...

Trump said ICE arrests “the worst of the worst.” Pastor Daniel Fuentes Espinal is the best of the best. Detain this man? Not on our watch. #MDIndivisible #EyesOnIce #FreeFuentesEspinal @indivisiblebaltoco.bsky.social

Hey everyone, I came across a GoFundMe for Pastor Daniel Fuentes Espinal, who was recently detained by ICE. He’s made a big difference in our community, and any support for his legal costs or just sharing the post would be appreciated.#eyesonice
