Europe Rallies Around Zelensky After Explosive White House Meeting The statements piled up on social media, offering words of encouragement to the Ukrainian leader and his people.

European leaders quickly pledged their continued support for Ukraine on Friday after President Trump’s blistering criticism of Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a meeting at the White House.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME. 

Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

Most parents value a good education. Yet The White House calls science, history & critical thinking ‘radical’ while pushing to control curriculum. Who benefits from an uneducated public? Lies don’t justify taking learning away from our children. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/gMgQvAQM

We are a nation of immigrants, proud of our ancestry. Yet the White House demonizes migrants, despite their vital role in our economy. Who benefits from fueling hate and fear? Lies don’t justify terrorizing innocent people! #TruthBrigade #Indivisible

Fascists see education and the educated as a threat. Democracies flourish when education and fact-finding thrive. #TruthBrigade #DisinfoBuster truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/OgrZRXDY

America is supposed to be the land of the free. So why are extremist pundits and politicians leading attacks on the rights of vulnerable people who just want to be themselves? Fear mongering is about power, not people. Spread facts, not fear! #TruthBrigade

Rivers on fire. Toxic air. No one wants to go back. But the White House is gutting protections that keep us safe—who benefits, besides polluters & their politicians? Lies don’t justify poisoning our people! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/Bbe4rTfg

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

TEXT: My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

If this doesn’t sound like the beginning of end times I don’t know what does

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...

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

In ‘24 I made up some 10 point plan for how badass I was going to be.
This year my resolution is just to start each day with hot lemon ginger water. Hopefully I can do it.

In any case, can someone make a doc about Jane?? 100% would skip the Thanksgiving cooking today to watch immediately, like the punk anarchist I (?) am.

Feminist, sure. Anarchist? I’m a pretty boring person but I’m now thinking, well shit, am I badass? Am I an anarchist? Am I…punk??

I need more from the Jim Henson Idea Man doc, specifically, why is his wife Jane referred to as an anarchist by her kids—bc she wanted more input in a company she cofounded and owned 40% of? Bc she was fed up with his absence while she raised his kids?

I keep thinking about this sentence in Percival Everett’s James, and feeling it to be true.

Blue Sky is lovely, but is anyone else finding their true solace in scrolling the NYT Cooking app for comfort food recipes?

AGREE, people showed their true colors then

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

Yes please and thank you
