Profile photo of Ruben Gallego on a tweet stating, "Republicans are trying to hide the fact that they're cutting Medicaid just to give billionaires another tax cut. Well we aren't staying quiet." The tweet includes the logo of Indivisible.
Republicans really don't want you to know that Trump’s tax scam would hand billions to the ultra-rich while gutting Medicaid and SNAP for working families. We can't let the GOP off the hook — if you live in a red district, make sure your representative hears from you: act.indivisible.org/...

That's what happened to Andry Romero. He deserves due process.
An image of the court opinion stating: "As a result, J.A.V., J.G.G., and W.G.H. are each entitled to the granting of their Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, and a permanent injunction prohibiting Respondents from employing the Proclamation and the AEA against them.

Our client Andry Hernández Romero came to the U.S. seeking safety, but the Trump administration has sent him to a brutal prison in El Salvador without due process.
We're fighting for Andry and everyone wrongfully sent to this prison.

Got an earful from over 350 people against Medicaid, education, & food assistance cuts. Hopefully the GOP folks there pass this on to him.
When it comes to Trump’s spending cuts—especially at HHS—the math simply doesn’t add up.

Yesterday, two harmful bills endangering the well-being of children advanced their respective Florida House committees: HB 1505, restricting health care treatment, and HB 1225, reversing child labor protections.
We urge legislators to vote NO on both.
💥 UPDATE: A spokesperson from Levi Strauss messaged me to confirm that an anti-DEI proposal presented today at Levi's annual shareholders meeting "received less than 1% approval" in shareholder voting.
