Republicans are trying to slash programs that working families rely on so they can hand billionaires more tax breaks. Help us raise awareness about the reckless Trump tax scam. We’re contacting North Carolina voters to turn up the pressure on a vulnerable GOP senator: mobilize.us/s/7Lou9N

The radical right-wing legislature in Utah passed a bill that banned public schools and buildings from flying pride flags. But they are still allowed to fly city flags.
So check out Salt Lake City’s newly adopted city flags.

250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings.
On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

@delgadoforny.bsky.social speaks so powerfully to what NY can be doing more of to protect us from Trump.
Great conversation this evening with hundreds of @indivisible.org leaders and members from across New York.
This is exactly the kind of grassroots energy and engagement we need to put accountability back into our politics.

Time for change.
So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

Quite something that Schumer had his NYT op-ed justifying his surrender ready to go tonight while not informing the public (including his constituents) of his plans. He seems to think this is just an old-school pr battle. He's never been more wrong.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
