BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

• "Why didn’t you attend? Was it fear of retribution from the Trump-Musk presidency?"

1/3 🎙 Over 200 people came to
@indivisiblemhk.bsky.social's Town Hall on Saturday, with more watching on the livestream. We had many questions for our absent Senators Jerry Moran & Roger Marshall & Congressman Tracey Mann:
• "How can you support a president who acts unconstitutionally?"

President Musk keeps lying about our movement — Republicans are mad because we’re building the local power that’s exposing the MAGA agenda. We rely on grassroots donations to support our nationwide organizing to hold the GOP accountable. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

For those in or near DC! Remember: “We the people” created government to serve all of us, not just the wealthiest.

Remind representatives that the actions we have seen so far are not establishing Justice, insuring Tranquility, providing common Defense, or promoting our General Welfare.
We’re taking action. On February 24, 2025, Persist is heading to Capitol Hill to advocate, organize, and push for real change. 💪🏽✨ Join us, make your voices heard!

The irony of the "Department of Efficiency" is that it's completely inefficient. A friend just told me they're making employees dig through the trash to find usable equipment for RTO. Nothing says "we value your time" like forcing you to dumpster dive for a functioning keyboard!

"I've been a lifelong Republican, never voted outside the party, but I can no longer do that because this president has gone too far. How can you support a president who calls POWs losers?" This veteran has lost one leg, and his health problems stem from bathing in Agent Orange in Vietnam.

Medicaid cuts rippling through rural America could bring hospital closures, job losses • Kansas Reflector
Americans living in rural communities throughout the country could see their access to health care diminish if Congress changes eligibility for Medicaid or significantly reduces its federal funding.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

It would be absolutely inexcusable for any Senate Democrat to vote to advance the extreme MAGA spending bill.

Democrats cannot cave and give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government.

I highly recommend that people shift to a credit union or local bank if you have not already done so. Corporate banks are precisely corporations whose sole function purpose is to profit off of you. They do not exist to help you with anything whatsoever. Move your money.
