Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

I have tried numerous times to reach Kevin Kiley, my local representative. I have not received any response or follow up. But I still continue to reach out to him. Thank you to @jesscraven101.bsky.social for empowering me with the information to hold my representative accountable

It’s not at all surprising that a rapist would blame the victim of invasion for being invaded.

I’m so disappointed in some of the people who are quiet right now. A lot of of us are scared. But the best way to not feel that is to help other people not feel that. Get loud. Let others know they are not alone. The more you let other people know that, the more you will feel it too.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

south korean politicians were literally scaling fences to protect their government and our senators are sending out pre-scheduled tweets about the super bowl while an unelected foreign billionaire seizes control of the treasury.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

Today was, in every way, a brutal lunch to the gut. A reminder that authoritarianism is weaponized abuse meant to wear you down and destroy your hope. Drink some water. Get some rest. Practice self-care. Ground yourself in your principles. We will defeat this. Not tonight or tomorrow. But we will.

Prep for ICE raids: even though it may say “Police” on their uniforms, Immigration and Customs Enforcement are not police officers, and ICE “warrants” are not reviewed by a judge, and therefore do not meet the 4th Amendment requirements for entry into a home or place of business.
