The book is here! THE BOOK IS HERE! Malcolm Lives!
And it looks. . .wow.
Feeling a mix of excitement, nervousness, and conviction. So excited to get Malcolm Lives before the eyes of young readers, of adult readers, of educators, of librarians, of readers of history and biography.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.
When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

BREAKING -- Republicans just cut funding for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
That's right.
$880 BILLION cut from ACA and Medicaid -- to pay for a billionaire tax cut -- raising the cost of healthcare for 119.3 million Americans.
Are you one of them?

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
It's fascism.
Call it what it is.

This is what they want more than anything.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Donald Trump and Republicans created a budget that will put Medicaid on the chopping block. Not to mention, South Dakota Republicans are trying to get rid of Medicaid expansion that the voters approved.
Tell Republicans it's time to STOP taking away people's health care.
