There is nothing an authoritarian fears more than peaceful, organized people power. That’s why the White House is now turning its sights on us. 🧡

Apple removes apps that allow anonymous reporting of ICE agent sightings Apple has removed ICEBlock and similar apps that let users report and track U.S. immigration agents. The decision follows apparent pressure from authorities.

#WTF Apple???
Bring back #ICEBlock
Do. Not. Obey. In. Advance.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Federal government shuts down after Senate fails to pass funding measures Congressional leaders pointed fingers at one another over the course of the day leading up to the votes.

The federal government is shut down because Republicans insist on ripping away our healthcare and handing Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab.

Our job is to hold the GOP accountable and encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand (NY), Schatz (HI), Durbin (IL), Peters (MI), and Hassan & Shaheen (NH) did the right thing by refusing to back a GOP budget that would decimate healthcare.

But now they’re under pressure to give in. Urge them to oppose the cruel GOP budget: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

(above an image of Capitol Hill) We're in a government shutdown because Republicans demand a budget that kicks millions off their healthcare and jacks up prices for the rest of us.

And the GOP is willing to hold government funding hostage until Trump gets his way.

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

Any spending deal must protect healthcare, reject blank checks for authoritarianism, and actually serve the people. Democrats are at the table and ready to end the shutdown and meet the demands of their constituents. It’s now up to the Republicans: Fund healthcare or keep the government shut down?

Now that Democratic leaders in the Senate have listened, it’s Republicans who need to come back to the table.

Over the last eight months, communities have been rising up and calling on lawmakers in Congress to stand up against Trump’s power grab and devastating policies.

Senator Van Hollen on Twitter: β€œThis is mafia-style blackmail, plain and simple.

These workers have nothing to do with the ongoing disputes that have brought us to the brink of a shutdown.

It's not only an attack on Americans' services and benefits β€” it's also likely illegal. We'll be fighting back with all we've got.”

With the funding deadline just a few days away, Trump is focused on holding the government hostage to lock in his healthcare cuts and hand the regime more unchecked power.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
