We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025: @aftynbehn.bsky.social (a state representative and former Indivisible organizer) can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double-digits if we turn enough voters out: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Help us address the hunger crisis in Baltimore. Food insecurity is more of a problem here than ever before. Even before SNAP benefits stopped on Nov. 1, nearly 30% of Marylanders did not have enough to eat regularly--many of them are children. Please donate!

There was a striking consistency to the elections across states that really fits just one possible explanation: people are mad at President Donald Trump and voting for the opposition party.

One part of the story is that the Democratic base turned out. But another part is that swing voters swung.

Democrats romped in both high-profile and low-profile elections Tuesday, in what clearly seemed like a national trend.

For Halloween, consider putting out a basket of food items in addition to candy, ie bread and muffin mixes, long-lasting fruits and veggies like apples and potatoes and squash. Americans will go hungry with the government ending SNAP funding.
