We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

The wealth of the 10 richest Americans surged $698B in the past year.

Trump’s tax handouts to billionaires and cuts to health care will only make inequality worse.

We need an economy that works for everyone – not one that works for the 1% and hangs everyone else out to dry.

U.S. 📻 played us the wrong Chumbawamba song!

🎶 The world is riddled with maggots;
the maggots are getting fat

They're making a tasty meal of the bosses & bureaucrats

They're taking over the boardrooms; they're fat & full of pride

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic about the various ways Trump could rig the midterms. He notes that modern autocrats don’t cancel elections. They hold unfair elections to fool people into thinking they’re not living in a dictatorship. It’s called “competitive authoritarianism.” (Gift link)
Donald Trump’s Plan to Subvert the Midterms Is Already Under Way

Your voice is one of the few tools we have left to defend science and truth.Call as many days of the week as you can Both the President and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. are giving unsound medical advice, including discouraging Tylenol use during pregnancy — a claim not supported by scientific evidence. RFK Jr. has already weakened vaccine policy, removed protections for children and pregnant women, and spread misinformation that directly undermines public trust and safety. At the same time, Congress is preparing to let ACA premium tax credits expire, which would raise premiums by over 75% on average for millions of Americans, including thousands of Alabama families. Call Script ** Demand Accountability in Public Health & Protect Affordable Health Insurance** Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m calling from [ZIP CODE], Alabama. I’m calling because both the President and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. are spreading false and dangerous medical information — including discouraging Tylenol use during pregnancy without scientific basis. These actions undermine trust in science and public health, and they put American lives at risk. I’m asking you to: Support impeachment proceedings to remove RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary for mismanagement and misinformation. Extend the ACA premium tax credits so healthcare remains affordable for Alabama families. Letting them expire will push thousands off their coverage and raise premiums for all of us. Public health depends on truth and access—both are under attack right now. Please take action to protect science and keep healthcare affordable for everyone. Thank you for your time. Tuesday, 10/7 11:45 “Talk to Us Gary” We park in the small parking lot in the back near Grandview Parkway and walk to the sidewalk which is at the 'point' of the triangular IOA Building.
