@governor.ny.gov How can we get in touch with you? The message I keep getting says delays of up to 90 minutes. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for standing up for Chicago/America and against this authoritarian regime with facts. I hope all governors, mayors, and leaders (congressional republicans, can you hear me?) follow suit.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

Hi! I’m a NYC resident and tried to leave you a message on Monday at 1518474839, but a recorded message said there were delays of up to 90 minutes. Will this be remedied soon? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Would love to share my thoughts with you!

@governor.ny.gov Hi! Tried to leave you a message at 15184748390, but it said there are delays of up to 90 minutes, and it wouldn’t allow me to leave a message. Will this be remedied soon? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This brief summary of yesterday’s letter is really good.

All of them! But if I had to choose, I might say these from Company’s “Being Alive:”

Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short and put me through hell
And give me support for being alive
Make me alive
Make me alive

Yesterday was a great day in NYC! So nice to feel united in my heart and mind with so many! #handsoff

Amazing!

Your daily letters are a so informative and spot-on, thank you!

March 20, 2025 It seems as if the Trump administration is rushing to tear apart as much as it can as opponents of its wholesale destruction of the United States government organize to stop them.

Awful.

So much for free speech. What a this world?!

A poster invite to a National Day of Action on Presidents Day in New York City. The image is a blue square with text in white and red, like the American flag. Large red letters spell out: NEW YORKERS RESIST! Four words in white are in the top left corner: KINGS, EMPERORS, DICTATORS, OLIGARCHS. They are all crossed out with a large red X. Monday, February 17, 1pm Union Square, NYC, meet at 14th Street & Broadway. The RIST AND RESIST logo is in the bottom right corner of the image.

NYC‼️ Join Rise and Resist and other groups to RESIST THE DICTATORS on Presidents Day—TOMORROW—Monday in Union Square (14th St) at 1PM. Peaceful demo, bring your friends!

As a former registered dietitian nutritionist for twenty-two years, I’m horrified by this. Shame on the GOP!

Thank you for this! And for all you do!

Question: if I write to my reps to insist on withholding votes on govt spending/debt ceiling, what specifically do I say about what they need the GOP to do in regards to Musk and all the awful things he’s doing? I want to be as specific as possible. Thx!

Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink If there's one universally accepted truth in the modern age, it's that sequels suck. And Trump 2.0 will be no exception. Trump, Vance, and their MAGA minions feel vindicated by the victory of their bi...

Hello new community! I love how fast this place is growing. FYI we released a new Indivisible guide with practical steps that folks in red, blue, & purple states can take to fight back. Don't ask for permission - take it, copy it, make it your own, & start organizing. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

House Democrats Have Leverage— If They Use It Republicans Can't Pass a Budget Without Democrats: Any funding bill that passes the Senate must clear the 60-vote filibuster, meaning Senate Republicans will be forced to compromise with Democrats. That bill will not be the full MAGA wishlist-it will be a negotiated deal. And here's the problem for House Republicans: as soon as the bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. The House Freedom Caucus will refuse to vote for anything that doesn't include extreme cuts and right-wing poison pills. That means House Republicans' razor-thin 218-215 majority won't be enough to pass a budget on their own. If just three Republicans defect, the bill dies. Their chaos and dysfunction have already divided them. Democrats must not bail them out. Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass a budget, and that gives Democrats enormous leverage. The GOP Civil War is a Gift-Exploit It: The House GOP is eating itself alive. The far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding draconian cuts, while vulnerable Republicans fear the backlash of a shutdown. Demoerats should let them fight and use it to extract real concessions. The Shutdown Deadline is the GOP's Problem to Solve: Government funding runs out on March 14. If the GOP can't pass a bill, they own the shutdown. Instead of letting Republicans ram through a terrible deal, Democrats should be demanding a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families. Trump and His Billionaire Buddies Want to Steal the Budget: Trump and his inner circle, led by Russ Vought, are openly planning to override federal spending decisions, funnel cash to their allies, and slash social programs. If the budget doesn't include safeguards-real, meaningful, and enforceable safeguards— they will rob the country blind.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

NOW: We’re rallying at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with Sen. @warren.senate.gov, Rep. Waters, @moveon.org, @boldprogressives.org, and many more. The CFPB protects consumers from predatory practices, and we must protect the CFPB from President Musk’s attempts to kill it.

Heartbreaking. What a week.

This concise and informative excerpt from the New Republic’s Alex Shephard should get everybody caught up on the government coup currently in progress. Required reading.

Thank you for keeping us in the know. You’re giving me hope that we can fight this no matter what Trump, Musk, and their minions throw at us. Thank you for all you do to preserve democracy and the rule of law!

Hi friends! I plan to get more active here, focusing on what I’m doing to #resist (via advocacy and self-care). I’ve been making daily calls to senators and our attorney general)! I’d love to know how/what you’re doing as well. Let’s be in this together! #resist #democracy #stopthesteal

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

There Will Be Retribution From Marc | Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents.

Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents. There will be retribution. The only question is whether we will oppose it or enable it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...
