Senate Republicans just voted to take healthcare away from 17 million Americans to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. But the fight isn’t over. Trump’s Tax Scam now moves to the House & many Republicans aren’t happy with the Senate changes. Call your representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

‼️Keep the pressure up‼️
Going on hour 26, but we're still fighting.

A big win for Massachusetts: Republicans tried to kill off new clean energy projects, but we just forced them to take out that terrible provision.

There’s a lotta awful still in there. But pressure does matter. Keep it up.

And because we don’t have kings…GO VOTE NYC! Early through next Sunday, June 22nd or on Election Day, June 24th!

And because we don’t have kings…DON’T RANK ANDREW CUOMO!

Make no mistake, the five Republicans who voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want EVEN MORE CUTS to Medicaid and SNAP are not serving the people.

But they are serving to delay, make difficult, and defeat Trump’s Tax Scam.

KEEP CALLING📲⏬
This is a big deal: Five Republicans just voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want even more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Delaying this bill will make Mike Johnson’s job even more difficult — and we get more time to make calls to Congress, toxify Trump’s Tax Scam, and defeat it.

We chatted with so many people today about rank choice voting, making a plan to vote, and not ranking Andrew Cuomo, we forgot to take a picture until after we broke down the table!

A sure way to spot New Yorkers today in tourist filled Union Square was looking for anyone wearing Knicks gear—LFG!

Join us tonight rain or shine in Foley Square at 6pm for a a Monday evening vigil for democracy. Tonight we will be speaking about engaging in civic life and participating in democracy as the best way to preserve and fortify our democracy. We hope to see you.

Indivisible Lydia Howrilka from Queens quoted in @theguardian.com: “I am standing in solidarity with my immigrant brothers and sisters in New York. I am standing in defense of democracy,” Howrilka said.

We’re just getting started with May Day protesting in NYC! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The truth about trump’s first 100 days is that he didn’t spend a single one of them working for the people—🧵⏬

RECORD LOW APPROVAL: Trump has broken his own record for the lowest presidential approval rating at the 100-day mark. 📉 app.sosha.ai/s/HxKMyVmm

Super strong wind,
A president who wants to be king,
But still we persist,
Don’t rank our disgraced former governor as mayor—we insist!

Great to talk to New Yorkers today in Tompkins Square Park about rank choice voting, making a plan to vote, and not ranking Andrew Cuomo!
April 28, 2025 at 12:52 AM
No rain forecasted for tomorrow so we’ll be in Tompkins Square talking with New Yorkers about the mayoral race: rank choice voting, making a plan to vote, ranking candidates ready to work for us while leading with integrity, and why not to rank Andrew Cuomo. Join us⏬

As the ultra-wealthy try to control our country, NYS lawmakers want to weaken NYS’ small donor matching program by letting the first $250 of ANY donation be matched—turning small-donor matching into every-donor matching. SAY NO: @governor.ny.gov @leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social
Lawmakers reportedly want to slip a change into the budget that would undermine
NY’s historic Public Campaign Finance Program, a betrayal of approx 50K everyday NYers who made small donations in the ‘24 state legislative elections, 2x those in ‘20 and ‘24.

Nearly 1000 people turned out in Rome, NY at the revolutionary era Fort Stanwix Nat’l monument, for our @indivisiblemv.bsky.social #NoKings rally. Guess what? Americans believe in throwing off the chains of mad kings and tyrants— that everyone is equal before the law.

Today, we joined the rally to hold NY State Senators and Assemblymembers to account to act boldly and pass the “Dignity Not Detention Act”(A4181/S316) and “New York for All” (A3506 /S.2235) NOW! No excuses, NY State lawmakers must act now to push back on trump’s dangerous and hateful agenda!

The Public Campaign Finance Program is supposed to lift up everyday New Yorkers—not billionaires.

Lawmakers trying to change it now, behind closed doors, are straight-up selling us out. Marina from @brennancenter.bsky.social breaks it down →
The Governor, Senate, & Assembly have committed to fully funding NY’s Public Campaign Finance Program, but now, more than two weeks past the budget deadline, there are rumors that some lawmakers want to change the program in ways that would undermine its purpose.
