Dusting off my #NoKings sign for a rally outside the U.S. embassy here in Ireland. The saran wrap is because itβs Dublin. So of course, rain is in the forecast. Exited to see what unfolds across America today. Hoping for a joyous occasion that shows the world what real love of country looks like.

On the bus, heading to the No Kings rally outside the American Embassy in Dublin. This being Ireland, of course itβs raining. Hence the clingfilm, a.k.a. saran wrap.

This is a perfect way to prepare for whatever the State of the Union brings on Tuesday night β an event with Timothy Snyder about the threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it! I signed up, join me! social.redwine.blue/s/7tbD8NPb

Our new guide for resisting Trump's agenda is here.
Eight years ago, we wrote the Indivisible Guide to organizing locally to pressure Congress and block the Trump agenda. Now, weβre offering our best advice on how everyday people can organize to stop Trump 2.0: indivisible.org/guide
"It is more important now for us to fight back than ever."
Thatβs why we put together a new guide for resisting Trumpβs agenda. Nothing will be okay unless we fight for it, and thereβs so much thatβs worth fighting for: indivisible.org/guide
