We want to teach you the tools of strategic non-cooperation to fight authoritarianism. We’re training one million Americans on leading peaceful non-compliance and disruption tactics. With institutions failing to meet the challenge, it falls to us — the pro-democracy majority — to defeat fascism. 👇

As much as Trump wants to appear all-powerful, he is an unpopular lame-duck president who just signed into law the worst piece of legislation in modern American history.

But we don’t just have to sit back and take it. Instead, we choose to organize.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption.

Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Why does Trump keep threatening to steal Gaza and build a new city there?

This is his version of the Network State — a gold-plated tech fascist casino built atop genocide and mass displacement.

Here's deeper story on Trump's embrace of tech colonialism:

Trump, Gaza, and the Network State: Tech Colonialism Rises
Trump’s fixation on taking Gaza, like his obsession with acquiring Greenland, reveals a clear alignment with the Network State ideology.

We’re putting up billboards in the districts of nine vulnerable Republicans demanding that they vote against Trump’s disastrous cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. By urging constituents to call their offices, these billboards can play a big role in pressuring the GOP.

But we need your help to put them up.
