To help lift up the fallen, we must sow the seeds of goodness
The torch is passed among us now to light the way of man
For the heart of man's a palace. . (continued)

to the extent that there is a β€œcarrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: β€œyou can be an overseer”

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

his death was caused by the response to Renee Good's killing. The agents on the streets learned they could kill with impunity from that first evil act of impeding the state investigation and smearing the victim.

For the umpteenth time, Brian nails it. House Dem Leadership screwed up big last week. This isn't "I told ya so." There should be some real reflection within the Dem Caucus about the systemic error in judgement that dismissed all efforts aimed at getting them to make the right call last week.

I want to see a photo of Scott Bessent carrying a *billboard* at a protest. Mind you, a *billboard*, not a protest sign. Is someone going to generate a photo of that for us? I don't have those skills. . . .

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

We're about to unfortunately find out.

House passes sprawling spending package as Democrats split over ICE funding The House voted separately on DHS funding and another package of bills to avoid a partial shutdown and repeal a law that allows certain GOP senators to sue DOJ for $500,000.

*We thank our Illinois Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. House for voting NO* on the DHS funding bill.

But seven @housedemocrats.bsky.social from other states helped Republicans pass the bill, and Democratic leadership in the House didn't work to stop them. @democrats.senate.gov had better step up!

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure.

Spread the word!

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

And we have a menu to use for the categories of who does the article. Give us a break, we are paying for this website as volunteers who are very busy running an indivisible group primarily and this is something we try to do when we can.

No one voted for another war. Congress must stop Trump's lawless violence and hold the regime accountable. Join tomorrow's emergency organizing call with Sen. Kaine, Rep. Casar, Rep. Omar, and thousands of activists to discuss how we can mobilize to stop more endless war: www.mobilize.us/heal...

Some scam PACs are bilking people with No Kings branding. I strongly advise you prioritize organizing with your community over donating online to anyone (us included). But if you want to donate, you can go to Indivisible.org or pick your favorite real No Kings partner at NoKings.org/partners

I hope Rachel and her team know how much a shout-out like this means to our community. Just like what we did means a lot to the many in the immigrant community who wrote to thank us for organizing this protest on such short notice. Courage!
