Today was the @indivisible.org "What's The Plan" meeting where the founders @ezralevin.bsky.social and @leahgreenberg.bsky.social answer questions about big fears, ideas and the CTAs,

I have your summary. Hope you get something out of it and share it with anyone else you think might as well!

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday.

The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

MASSACHUSETTS!!

Specifically, Newton! You might have a school board election TUESDAY!!!!

Alicia Piedalue is running unopposed but from what I can tell, she’s great, and wouldn’t it be cool if she just gets a lot of support

It’s important to get in the habit of voting in every single election

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.
