Even if you live in a solidly red or blue area, you’ve never volunteered before, or you don’t have a lot of time to help out, you can still make a difference in the midterms. 👇

Across the country, federal agents are intimidating and brutalizing people just for exercising their First Amendment right to record law enforcement in public. Urge your representatives in Congress to pass the Right to Record Act and protect our constitutional right to document the truth.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

And if you can't attend in person, @standupforscience.net is hosting the Official Accessible No Kings Day 3 Virtual Rally! Sign up here: www.standupforscience.net/sufs-nk3 or here: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
Hot take: No Kings is good and if you have the time and capacity, you should go to a protest on Saturday.

As U.S. and Israeli bombs started to fall, Trump took to social media to link the unauthorized military actions with the Big Lie. Trump posted an article asserting that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States.”

The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes. We must flood Senate Democrats’ offices with calls and force them to use their leverage to rein in ICE. Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Or send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

Trump is an authoritarian punishing his enemies and crushing dissent. Legacy institutions are refusing to stand up. He is already threatening free and fair elections in 2026. We need to quickly build up independent media. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket for free. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Please be aware that contrary to their fundraising ads, @forwardblue.bsky.social has no relationship with the No Kings mobilizations, no record of doing anything in support, no inside information, and is ignoring requests to cease advertising that suggests they are involved.
