6 days to No Kings 2.

Today: listen to Timothy Snyder, and COMMIT to attend a No Kings event this Saturday.

Timothy Snyder is one of our most important voices against Trump's tyranny. He URGES us to show up at our local No Kings 2 protest. His full comment can be found here: buff.ly/xURuVya.

Poster quoting Timothy Snyder: "Being against kings is about being for freedom. And it's about loving America, because loving your country means wanting it to be the best version of what it can be. Not the worst. Loving your country means showing up."

MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson does not want you to attend your local No Kings protest.

Which is at Saturday October 18 at noon at Alameda Park, 1400 Santa Barbara St. Just so you know which event he doesn't want you to attend.

Also, he doesn't want you to share this post. #NoKings #Indivisible

This government shutdown did not begin yesterday. Trump has spent this entire term firing historic numbers of federal workers and attempting to close entire departments. We say NO to Trump's Project 2025-planned shutdown of essential services designed to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Indivisible Santa Barbara @indivisiblesb.bsky.social · 12d

CTA: 10 am Oct 4 protest in front of Santa Barbara Whole Foods on State Street and Hitchcock. In the face of Trump's gov't shutdown, tell Dems to hold the line against Trump's terror campaign and his cuts to healthcare. Force the GOP to come to the table and negotiate. This is what democracies do!

Proposition 50 is our first chance to repudiate Trump and his cruelty, stupidity and wannabe authoritarianism. Its intent is to neutralize Trump's order to red states to redraw Congressional districts in his favor.

Here's a video of our Yes On 50 action here yesterday. #Yeson50 #Indivisible

We get questions on whether we should ask folks to sign up to our events. See Leah's reply below. There's no REQUIREMENT to sign up, and lots of folk show up without registering. That's FINE. But if you register, that helps us plan and organize. So we'll keep asking. We won't obey Trump in advance

Indivisible ❌👑 @indivisible.org · 25d

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.
