Remember remember the 5th of November

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I wonder who is going to get blamed when things get bad? It is incredible to me that it’s never the administrations fault and there’s nothing they can do. You’ve been running the show for almost a year. Can you really keep blaming the ex?

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

After Law Firm Deals With Trump, D.C. Bar Warns of Ethical Jeopardy

After Law Firm Deals With Trump, D.C. Bar Warns of Ethical Jeopardy

The bar group’s ethics committee says firms that make a deal with the government may need to get waivers from clients with opposing interests.

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

Shoutout to @merkley.senate.gov for calling out President Trump's escalating corruption and efforts to undermine our system of checks and balances 💯

Hey California, we need your help! Talk to your neighbors about passing Prop 50 to unrig the midterm maps. As Trump and his GOP allies try to grab permanent control of the House, California has a key role to play in leveling the playing field — and our tool makes it easy to talk to your neighbors. 👇

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.

My friend @merkley.senate.gov is holding the Senate floor all night to sound the alarm on Trump’s lawless regime.

Proud to stand with him in this fight and in the U.S. Senate. There can be no business as usual.

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Kings and dictators thrive when everyday people stay silent and look the other way.
 
Yesterday, millions of Americans — including these fired-up Marylanders in Towson — stood up and said:
 
We will not be silent. We will not look away. NO KINGS.

This country doesn’t belong to President Trump — it belongs to all of us.

Trump and his cronies spread all sorts of lies about yesterday's No Kings Day protests.

I'll tell you what I saw from these folks in Columbia and throughout Maryland — Americans of all ages gathering peacefully to deliver a simple message: In America, we don't bow down to kings.

Way to go, all of us. 💙

Bad news: Keene, New Hampshire's Central Square was unavailable for No Kings Day (due to our annual Pumpkin Fest and the local college's parents' day). Good news: it took place at a park only a 15-minute walk from home - on a glorious autumn day - and then ... this happened.
