I love my library—but the White House is trying to dismantle the agency in charge of federal library funding. It provides jobseeker resources, technology for people with disabilities, and even more.

Call Congress! Urge them to save federal funding #ForOurLibraries 👉 bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries

We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found.

The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."

BOOM!

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

The myth that “public libraries are free” makes a great soundbite, but it’s not true. Public libraries are paid for by their community in order to create services for said community. Communities invest in libraries and save money by supporting publicly owned services that can be shared.

🚨 TODAY: The House will vote on H.R. 9495, the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents. Please contact your representative (especially if it’s one of these Democrats who voted for the bill last week) and tell them to vote NO: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Email your Democratic senators and tell them to confirm as many pro-democracy judges as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate. Dozens of nominations are pending and our senators must act ASAP: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...
