Army played a home game at West Point today. We showed up to send a message to passers-by about the fragility of our democracy. Our military has a proud tradition of allegiance to our Constitution, not to any ruler. Let’s keep it that way.

Tell House Republicans to get to work and end this shutdown act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...
Mike Johnson won't bring the House back into session until the shutdown is resolved. That suits Trump just fine. As long as the House is on recess they can't vote to release the Epstein files.

Call Schumer and Jeffries. Thank them for standing up for our healthcare. And tell them to hold out until the Republicans guarantee to provide funding for the ACA subsidies and Medicaid.

It’s clear that Donald Trump does not give a shit about millions of Americans losing access to healthcare . Especially those of us in blue states. We can fight back by passing the NY Health Act. www.instagram.com/p/DPVAbgQjDu...

Setting aside the glaring racism and ageism, what I see here is fear. Fear because "elderly white hippies" are (or at least could be) a major threat to fascism. They have more time and money to burn than most other groups. And they have less to lose in going out and protesting tyrants.

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

The Big Ugly Bill slashes Medicaid. Maybe you say, "So what? I'm financially comfortable, I'm not disabled, or a child, or a pregnant woman, and I'm not in a nursing home". But if you're over 65 you are on MEDICARE. Here's how the BUB affects that too. Pay attention
