MAGA has spent weeks tearing us, our movement, and our upcoming No Kings Day #2 protest down... saying that we're paid protestors, that we're "Antifa", "extremists", and even "terrorists". We are just normal people who love America and believe in American ideals.

We're looking for some No Kings Day #2 volunteers to help with flyering, tabling, safety monitoring, crowd work, water, and more! This is the perfect way to get involved and push back against the chaos, corruption, and cruelty of the Trump admin.

This past weekend we got together for a postcard party! We wrote to 122 registered voters in CA to vote YES on prop 50, which is California’s response to the redistricting here in Texas. We had so much fun! Thank you to those that helped!

It's been discovered that Border Czar, Tom Homan, accepted $50k in a cash bribe during a sting operation in 2024... the Trump admin has dropped the case and Homan is not being held accountable for his obvious nefarious dealings.

Trump and his administration continue to enflame the tense environment. His untrue claims blaming “the left” and downplaying far-right violence not only deepens polarization, but sets the stage for their unjustified retaliation and suppression of left-wing voices and organizations.

Join us TONIGHT at 5:30pm at St. Elmo Brewing company for the Indivisible Austin Social Happy Hour. This is not an official meeting, but more an opportunity for us to chat and connect with each other.

Last week, the Indivisible Austin group (along with other local Indivisible chapters) gathered at Sun Dragon for a mind/body/verbal de-escalation training. We practiced self-awareness and grounding techniques and learned how to non-violently protect ourselves in protests/political situations.

With everything going on, you may not have heard about Trump's latest act of corruption, and this one's BIG. The Trump family crypto business just received $2Billion from the UAE while the Trump administration worked on an AI chips deal with the same folks.

Did you hear Trump or any of his people claim they've made more than $4 trillion in tariff revenue or $8 trillion in new US investments? Did you also react with disbelief? Not surprising, because it's a lie.

Indivisible Austin @indivisibleaustin.bsky.social · Sep 3

This past Labor Day (Monday, September 1) we took the streets from City Hall to the Capitol with thousands of other Austinites to protest Trump, his corruption, and the billionaire takeover of our government.

Sound off in the comments if you were there and what got you so hopeful

"It's as simple as that" says a Republican Texas House Rep about doing everything in his and Texas' power to make sure Republicans stay in power... even if it's against the will of the people. Trump, MAGA, and Texas Republicans are cheating because they know they can't win fairly.

You probably heard that the CDC is in crisis... RFK Jr. is dismantling the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, ruining the agency’s scientific integrity, and undermining the CDC's ability to protect public health. And one of the biggest ongoing lies to come from RFK Jr. is about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Have you heard the Trump Administration has "ended taxes on social security" and thought, "is that right?"... well, it's not. Trump keeps lying and pumping out misinformation.

Join us next week (Wednesday, 8/27) for a social happy hour at the Brewtorium in North Loop. We're meeting at 5:30pm and our only goal is to get to know each other and nurture our community. Talking politics and local activities is a big plus.

Rep Nicole Collier (D-Fort Worth) spent the night inside the House chamber after not being allowed to leave. She refused to sign the GOP-mandated "permission slip" that would place her under 24/7 escort by police. We support Collier and appreciate her for her bravery, integrity, and strength.

Trump’s latest rant about Washington, D.C. being overrun by ‘violent gangs’ and ‘roving mobs.’ The data says otherwise. Violent crime is down from recent highs, overall crime is trending the right direction, and residents report feeling safe in their neighborhoods. In short: fearmongering ≠ facts.

Over 30 Texas House Democrats are headed to Illinois, taking a stand against Republicans' attempt to steal 5 seats in the U.S. House. They're denying Republicans the quorum needed to vote on the GOP redistricting plan. A huge thank you to these Dems for taking a stand! Tag them and show support!

Republicans are pushing a mid-decade congressional redistricting plan during a special legislative session, trying to flip 5 Democratic-held U.S. House seats to increase GOP representation. They're suppressing Democratic voices and we will not go down silently!

A quick story about why we should all keep talking about the Jeffrey Epstein files and why we should probably be talking about them even more. This is more than a story about what Trump did or didn't do or giving us transparency, it's a story at the heart of the MAGA movement.

We are deeply disappointed by MAGA’s passing of the “Big Beautiful Bill.” The wildly unpopular bill is a perfect encapsulation of MAGA.

This past weekend marked a huge moment for us and the work we’re doing with other local organizations to stand up against the Trump administration and FOR equality, democracy, and decency. Around 20k gathered peacefully to protest Trump's egregious king-like actions. This is just the beginning.

I was on the fence, but if Mark's in, I'm in. See y'all in the streets on Saturday.

This Saturday, June 14th, join one of the 1,800+ No Kings protests across the country. While Trump celebrates his birthday with a military parade in D.C. like a wannabe king, we'll be joining together to uphold our democracy and protect our rights! @indivisible.org #NoKingsDay
