Before you rally in communities across Georgia, make sure you’re ready.

Stay safe; we’ll see you out there along with our partner @indivisiblegaco.bsky.social

The President made the biggest cut to food assistance in our nation’s history.

Families will go hungry so Trump’s billionaire friends can get richer.

They can hide the numbers. They can bury the reports. But they cannot hide this moral tragedy from the eyes of God.

Autumn is here ! 🍁🍂

Who knew there was a rule against that?

(Every lawyer in the world, apparently.)

I hereby officially deny having had any involvement with the projection of images onto Windsor castle last Tuesday night.

that geeky couple with the Doctor Who themed wedding? those tumblr teens just discovering SuperWhoLock and showing their enthusiasm for it? that furry giving their sona rainbow fur and devil wings? they're harmless. it's *way* healthier to express joy than to make fun of things you think are cringe.

At the highest stakes moment since 1860, Schumer and Jeffries are completely failing the country.

by age 30 you should have:

* strong opinions about birds
* 12 different "when i get time" projects on indefinite hiatus
* sandwich(es) you fruitlessly yearn to have again
* a growing list of obituaries you're looking forward to reading
* parasocial friendships with other people's pets

They had these people and they pushed every single one of them out of their newsrooms after they were targeted by reactionary online mobs!@bencollins.bsky.social has spoken up about this and sounded the alarm for years.

Now, the 50501 Movement is gearing up for two key actions. First, it is answering Free DC’s call for a National March in the nation’s capital, this September 6th. And then, on October 18th, the 50501 Movement will be joining communities around the country for a second No Kings National Day of Action. Workers over Billionaires “With over 1,000 events across the nation this past weekend, we showed that we can do what Trump can't; show up for workers and for workers’ rights,” said Gloriann Sahay, Chair of Political Revolution and 50501 National Partner. On Labor Day, working people in all 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Sweden gathered in solidarity to demand that the American government end its complicity in the billionaire takeover; protect and defend social services for working people; fully fund schools, housing, and healthcare; and stop its attacks on marginalized people and laborers around the country. We Are All DC The 50501 Movement is calling on every person who opposes Donald Trump’s illegal occupation of Washington, D.C., to join us in the nation’s capital for Free DC’s We Are All DC national march this Saturday, September 6th. “The National Guard in DC is a fascist circus of performative brute force that is meant to terrify the people,” said Sarah Parker, the Executive Director of Voices of Florida and 50501 National Partner. “But we are not afraid. We are mobilizing with local grassroots organizers and with the communities that are the most targeted, most impacted, and most ignored. We are rising up. We will not bow down to authoritarianism. We will not be silenced.” The demonstration will begin at Mal…

For Immediate Release: 50501 Joins Free DC’s National March this Saturday; Mobilized for next No Kings on October 18th.

Join us in DC this weekend, and in communities across the country in October. See you in the streets 📣

Staying Calm and Hopeful – AHA Sarah Weicksel's first column as AHA executive director.

In her first #AHAPerspectives column as executive director, Sarah Weicksel reflects on how to stay calm amidst the current challenges facing the discipline: “We are not alone in caring about these challenges and not alone in our commitment to working to address them head-on.” 🗃️

Their “frustration” is irrelevant. Who cares? They know RFK Jr is dangerous, unfit, & is going to hurt a lot of people. But their fear of retribution from Trump is the deciding factor in all their inaction. They put their political survival over the lives and health of Americans.

Read the complete profile on this fascist by @solidaritydept.bsky.social, the war room of the working class that aims to expose every single U.S. billionaire.

Let’s make sure Alex Karp is as widely villainized as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.

He’s the techno-fascist billionaire currently running Palantir.

McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.

Massie implores GOP colleagues to help force vote to release Epstein files The Kentucky Republican is defending his approach as his leadership tries to undermine the effort.

Massie is publicly pleading with his Republican colleagues to break rank with House GOP leaders and join his crusade to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.

As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

Only two more Republicans needed to force vote on Epstein files release, bill co-sponsor says – live Donald Trump calls clamor over Jeffrey Epstein files a ‘Democrat hoax that never ends’ as bipartisan group of lawmakers try to force vote on legislation

Two more Republicans.

That’s all we need to force a vote in the House on releasing the Epstein files.

If you live in a GOP district, your representative needs to hear from you: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.
