🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23.

That’s where we come in.

With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

The photos of women on the National Cryptologic Museum’s Hall of Honor have been covered up with brown paper. This is part of the president’s executive order against DEI. Just in case you needed a reminder that ALL WOMEN are also under attack under this Republican administration.

Everyone is asking about "What are the best things of the year?" or "Who is the best person of 2024?"

The winner is you.
If you did anything this year worthy of merit
If you made something that someone enjoyed
If you did something that taught someone something valuable
You won 2024.
