Highly recommend signing up for the @indivisible.org weekly newsletter for easy-to-understand updates about what's happening in Washington and (most importantly!) actionable to-dos for that week—example in the screenshot. You can also find your local Indivisible group here: indivisible.org/groups
Screenshot of a weekly newsletter from Indivisible.org that reads: Your weekly to-dos Note for our new folks (hi!): When we start an action with “tell your Democratic representative to do XYZ,” we’re suggesting that action specifically to people who have a Democratic representative. So number one below is just for folks with Dem representatives, number two is for those of you with Republican representatives, and number three works for everyone! Not sure who represents you? Look it up here. Tell your Democratic representative to use their leverage to stop the Trump/Musk coup: Republicans need to pass a spending bill by March 14, but their internal divisions and minuscule House majority mean it’ll be pretty much impossible for them to do it without Democratic votes. And that gives Dems real power to put an end to the lawless dismantling of our government by Trump and DOGE. Join us in urging House Dems to use their leverage in the spending fight to impose restraints on Musk, and block any bill that slashes funding for vital programs.

What is with these ads where the premise is a fake podcast conversation or fake man-on-the-street style interaction? I've seen them CONSTANTLY lately. This one I got on IG is so obviously fake it hurts to watch. Rocket Money TV ads come to mind too.

I fixed it for them.
On the left side of the image, a screenshot of executive order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government." On the right side, the same screenshot is reproduced with some text blacked out to reveal a poem. Text reads: "Defend women from the federal government. The United States of America permit men to abuse women depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being. The entire American system is unhealthy replacing reality with subjective laws and policies designed to protect men."
