Hey, all!

You might have noticed @lkwdindivisible.bsky.social, our original account, is no longer active. It was set up by a former member and we no longer have access, so we're starting again over here. We'd appreciate if you'd follow us at @lkwd-indivisible.bsky.social for all the latest!

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)

call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line

trans people deserve so much better
Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.

The bill passed only 216 to 214.

4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

We are horrified and heartbroken by the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. Our hearts are with our Jewish brothers and sisters around the world.

We must do everything in our power to fight back against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

There's always more disappointing things to learn about Flock, the surveillance tech company whose license plate-reader cameras are currently spying on Lakewood. And Ring cameras may be popular but they're not any safer for our privacy. We say it's time to #gettheflockoutoflakewood

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

We're finally out of the Lakewood City Council meeting where over a dozen of us spoke about the horrors of ICE in Lakewood & the city's privacy-invading Flock cameras. Other Lakewood residents voiced their fears about these issues as well.

It was a long night. Next time we'll bring more snacks. 🍿

Last night's Tree Lighting had so much cool stuff! Games, food, music, a visit from Santa, even falling 'snow.'

We came to give out candy canes and whistle packs about ICE. So many people were so happy to see and hear from us! We wish the city had been the ones to step up to educate residents.

“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

Tomorrow is our last chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. We can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double digits, but only if we turn enough voters out — please make some calls to help us send @aftynbehn.bsky.social to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
