People are not pawns. The latest CDC layoffs are another example of this Administration going after our health—this time by firing scientists working to prevent chronic & respiratory disease.

I’m working to reopen the gvt, reverse these reckless cuts, & fund health care.

On Oct. 11, Atlanta DSA members joined the Atlanta community for a candlelight vigil on Old Wheat Street remembering Cornelius Taylor. We celebrated his memory and honored a life taken by the callous actions of a city that has failed to treat the unhoused with the dignity they deserve 🎂🕯️

“Some 1,500 police and sheriff's departments were flying drones by late 2024 — a 150% jump since 2018…”

AI drones are America's newest cops

AI-powered drones can do some police work — but using them raises new questions about surveillance and privacy.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

📣 @indivisible.org's response to what Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday.

...and despite what the right is saying about people who are against fascism, No Kings events have a commitment to nonviolent protesting.

The First Amendment protects your right to assemble & express your views through protest. However, police & other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights.

Brush up on your rights before protesting.
