The Housing and Urban Development website appears to have become an extension of “Truth Social.” As of now it looks like this. A reminder that you’re needed Oct 18 to make a really huge No Kings 2 nationwide protest. HUD.gov.

In Virginia, that means call or email Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine. You can find their contact info in about 10 seconds online.

Government funding runs out in a week, but Trump won't talk to Democrats despite needing their votes to avoid a shutdown. Tell your Democratic senators to HOLD THE LINE (not roll over like last time) against any funding deals that hand Trump a blank check: indivisible.org/camp...

That's us!! We are Virginia! And it's time to vote - for candidates who will defend our freedom instead of collaborating with authoritarianism.

In six weeks, we can add another Blue State to defy Trump’s regime — right in his own backyard.

Make some calls to help flip Virginia’s Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General from red to blue, and expand Democrats’ majority in the House of Delegates. 👇

We can surrender to Trump's authoritarian power grabs.

Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

We choose to organize.

Important words from our sister group Indivisible Vashon.

Indivisible Vashon ❌ 👑 @indivisible-vashon.bsky.social · 21d

...most recently, the words of Stephen Colbert upon accepting his Emmy award:

“I have never loved my country more desperately… Stay strong, be brave. And if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor.”

So, let’s cost them some bucks. Cancel your Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions!

By removing Kimmel, Disney/ABC demonstrate they’ll sell our democracy to make a buck. Boycott.

To all news organizations that still have Pentagon press passes: to bow to this demand is to bow to dictatorship. Refuse. If Hegseth restricts you this much, you become mere arms of regime propaganda. Join the reporters who are already banned. @freedomofthepress.bsky.social @indivisible.org

If they don’t agree to limits, including restricting movement within building, Pentagon press passes will be revoked
