Public media has been defunded. Your support keeps journalists on the ground, lifts unheard voices, and connects communities.

Help us plan for what’s next. Make a monthly gift today. Stand with public media: n.pr/458sOhq

Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

This is a great resource

We can stop the #MAGAMurderBill but it's going to take an all out effort like our lives and our loved ones depend on it. Cause they do. How? You - yes you - and all of your friends, families and followers can do any and all of the following organized actions. 🧵

Never believe the regime's lies that we cannot take them on and bring them down. Their power relies upon us forgetting that power requires our silence and capitulation.

Protesters gathered with Hands Off signs listening to the event speakers.

Sign with pictures of disappeared/jailed legal immigrants Abrego Garcia, Rumeysa Ozturk, and Mahmoud Khalil and the text: "Return them to their families. Are you next?"

Hands Off protesters and signs that say “MAGA is a death cult: Hands Off Arts and Science, our bodies, and democracy,” “Where do I even fucking start?!” “Hands Off the Penguins,” and Hands Off LGBTQ+ Rights."

Me holding my sign: "Free American From Oligarchy! Hands Off our rights to exist, vote, and protest!"

Over 4000 showed up for the #HandsOff Northern Michigan protest in Traverse City. I was proud to be one of them and to see many friends and people from my community and UU church take part. ✊#TraverseIndivisible #UUTraversecity #mobilize

Happy HandsOff day to all who celebrate! Let's go Free America.

A cardboard cutout of Congressman Jack Bergman is beside an empty stool on stage at the Milliken Auditorium for the Traverse City Town Hall. The Indivisible logo is on the screen behind it.

Rep. Jack Bergman didn’t show up to his #TownHall in #TraverseCity, but the constituents of #Michigan’sFirstDistrict did! Many of the 400 in the auditorium and 650+ on livestream asked important questions, and we deserve answers. We will keep showing up until Trump is stopped! #traverseindivisible

It's time for a Free America movement, much like De Gaulle led in exile during the Nazi occupation of France. Free America from this hostile takeover of our government; from the broligarchy stealing our money and destroying our lives; from Russian rule.

President Zelenskyy just got EXACTLY what he wanted from Donald Trump, which is to stop his unwanted unilateral intervention in peace talks with Russia.

And he can spurn America's minerals deal and go to Europe.

They're playing Trump.

And it'll work.

Trump is a disgrace to the United States and the human race.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

This is how the hostile takeover of our government and armed robbery of our money is going. One month in and they're completed 1/3rd of the Project 2025 agenda.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Michigan standing by DEI in schools despite Trump threat to pull US funding | Bridge Michigan The Trump administration is warning schools that DEI efforts could violate the law and cause them to lose federal funding.

Michigan isn’t planning to abandon diversity, equity and inclusion programs in K-12 public schools just yet, despite a Trump administration order to get rid of them by the end of the month or risk losing federal funding. www.bridgemi.com/talent-educa...

We’re against fraud & waste hence why we’re against Trump. Fraud & waste occur in big money contracts (e.g. Musk) and tax breaks for millionaires & corporations not in health and climate research or food security programs for the most vulnerable. Trump & Musk are committing fraud not exposing it.

Traverse City, yesterday

Proud!

As climate scientists predicted decades ago, climate change means weather chaos

(with crop failure & food insecurity worldwide)

Good turnout today in Traverse City

A collage of pictures of protesters in snowy Michigan holding signs such as Teachers Against Trump; Doctors Against Trump; Bad Doge; US President for Sale; We ❤️ USA, We ❤️ Canada, We ❤️Gulf of Mexico, We HATE Trump; Hey Congress, Rein Him In, Making Putin Great Again, Lock Him Up; Thousands Fired: NOAA, CIA, FBI, IG, Nuclear safety: What could go wrong? And A World Without Trans People has never existed and never will.

Protesters holding signs that say “Save Our Land From Being Privatized,” Trump Forked the Forests,” Teddy Roosevelt is Rolling in His Grave,” and “Lawless & Cruel."

Protesters dressed in winter gear outside the government center holding signs such as Musk with a slash through it and “We are Indivisible.” The American flag in the background.

We protested the coup at our Government Center in Traverse City, Michigan today. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER! #NoKingsDay #NotMyPresidentsDay #Protest #Fifty501 #Indivisible #Action #50501 #TraverseIndivisible #Feb17

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Project 2025's banned book list, complete with the reason for banning them.
The reason for banning Virginia Wolf's A Room of One's Own? Promotes female autonomy and free thought.

This is probably the most accurate take.

I absolutely love this idea.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Part of why I launched my newsletter on Ghost (now that people are talking again about Substack's Nazi problem, to which I'd add that Substack has Marc Andreessen and Y-Combinator behind it, which is at a minimum repellant)....
