We’re never going to stop standing up against MAGA and this broligarchy trying to silence us all while robbing America blind. youtu.be/Ijj5TgYeJQo?...

Step up, stand up, speak out.
 
This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid.

Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

Just attended (virtually, it was at capacity!) a town hall with my Congressman @repschneider.bsky.social. I've already attended some telephone town halls he's hosted, but nice to see him "in person". It's a damn shame other Congress members around the country don't have the courage to do the same.

Yay!

Way to go Dick Durbin 🤦🏼‍♀️

As my late friend and colleague Rep. John Lewis always said, the right to vote is precious, almost sacred. Today, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are taking action to protect that most fundamental right by introducing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

What else is there to say about Donald Trump’s speech last night? The lies speak for themselves.

He doesn’t give a damn about you.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

One month into the second Trump presidency, we've already taken action to protect:

✅ birthright citizenship
✅ due process for immigrants
✅ the right to asylum
✅ gender-affirming care
✅ passport access for trans people
✅ data privacy

And we’re just getting started.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

A screenshot of a tweet by Liam Nissan™ (@theliamnissan) that reads: "Elon Musk looks like Mike Myers playing Elon Musk" The image in the tweet shows Elon Musk standing indoors, wearing a dark coat, a gray t-shirt, and a black cap that appears to have text on it. His expression looks somewhat awkward or surprised. The background includes gold curtains and a window with a snowy outdoor view, suggesting a formal setting. The tweet humorously compares Musk’s appearance to actor Mike Myers portraying him in a comedic impression.

Can’t unsee.

If only there had been some kind of warning

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
