This isn’t the result we wanted but the fight isn’t over — we will continue to organize against this nonprofit killer bill in the Senate.

Pressure still works. In a week, you made 13,000 calls and convinced dozens of Democrats to flip their vote and join our side in voting no on H.R. 9495. Thank you for everything you did. More Democrats are waking up, but we will need to keep pushing for our elected officials to fight back against the incoming Trump administration. https://apnews.com/article/nonprofit-bill-terrorism-treasury-trump-aclu-ac88da656ea0d5cf8deb2e7bd045c1a4

We need to keep the pressure up. The House Ethics Committee must release its bipartisan report on Matt Gaetz. Trump’s pick for attorney general was investigated over accusations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists. Email your representative and demand the immediate release of the Gaetz report: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/ethics-committee-report-gaetz?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

No Democrat should be embracing a conspiracy theorist who represents exactly what public health experts have been fighting to contain. If you live in Colorado, tell Governor Polis to stop praising Trump's pick of Robert Kennedy Jr. for HHS secretary: https://act.indivisible.org/letter/email-governor-polis-stop-endangering-colorado-by-praising-rfk-jr?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Eight years after we wrote the Indivisible Guide to organizing locally and pressuring Congress to block the Trump agenda, we’re offering our best advice on how everyday people can organize to stop Trump 2.0: http://indivisible.org/guide

Senate Democrats worked late into the night to advance the nominations of more pro-democracy judges. We need to encourage them to keep going! Contact your Democratic senators and tell them to continue confirming as many judicial nominees as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your-senators-fill-every-judicial-vacancy-now?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Email your Democratic senators and tell them to confirm as many pro-democracy judges as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate. Dozens of nominations are pending and our senators must act ASAP: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your-senators-fill-every-judicial-vacancy-now?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Matt Gaetz was accused of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists during his time in Congress.

The House investigated these allegations, but Trump’s pick for attorney general really doesn’t want you to see the bipartisan report.

That’s where we come in. Email your representative and demand the immediate release of the Gaetz report. https://act.indivisible.org/sign/ethics-committee-report-gaetz?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

"It is more important now for us to fight back than ever."

That’s why we put together a new guide for resisting Trump’s agenda. Each of us has a role to play — in blue states, red states, and political battlegrounds across our country. Nothing will be okay unless we fight for it, and there’s so much that’s worth fighting for: https://indivisible.org/guide

Gaetz’s loyalty to Trump is fueled by their shared contempt for accountability and the rule of law. Under Gaetz, we’re looking at a DOJ twisted into Trump’s personal hit squad — a DOJ that punishes civil servants and steamrolls justice for Trump’s petty grievances.

Matt Gaetz doesn’t belong at the helm of the Justice Department. He belongs as far away from it as possible — preferably in a jail cell.

Gaetz’s track record of behavior should disqualify him from any public office, let alone one with the power to prosecute and protect. He’s allegedly shown videos of his ‘conquests’ to colleagues on the House floor, boasted about crushing erectile dysfunction pills with energy drinks to ‘go all night,’ and has been publicly denounced by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who said he ‘doesn’t hang around with pedophiles.’ This is the man Trump wants as our nation’s top law enforcement officer.

For fuck’s sake…

Putting Matt Gaetz in charge of the Department of Justice is like handing a matchbook to an arsonist and asking him to protect the forest. This is a man who’s been investigated for sex trafficking a minor, attended drug-fueled parties with underage girls and is still under House Ethics investigation for sexual misconduct. This isn’t just a reckless choice; it’s a calculated move to dismantle the DOJ and turn it into Trump’s personal revenge squad. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/matt-gaetz-donald-trump-attorney-general-disaster.html

Join us and Sen. Warren in an hour to talk about our new guide for resisting Trump’s agenda. So many of you have signed up for tonight’s call that we’re almost at the limit of our Zoom capacity. https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/657943/?utm_source=mastodon

We’ve seen some suggestions that we’re not ready for four more years of fighting Trump. That’s news to the over 20,000 Indivisibles who have already signed up for tonight’s call. Join us and Sen. Warren for a discussion about our new guide and strategy for resisting Trump’s agenda: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/657943/?utm_source=mastodon

Advocacy still works, y’all.

H.R. 9495, which would have handed incoming President Trump new powers to unilaterally go after his political opponents, was on a glide path through the House. Republicans were lined up to support it, and Democrats, frankly, had been asleep at the wheel and were poised to rubber stamp it.

But then something really significant happened. 🧵 https://theintercept.com/2024/11/12/congress-vote-trump-nonprofits-tax-exempt-terrorism/

We’re not going anywhere.

“I do not know why, on the first day that Congress comes back into session after Donald Trump wins the election, that you would have Democrats in Congress voting to give him more power to go after his enemies. That is bonkers to me, and I think it’s a real test to see if Democrats in this new Trump era are willing to fight back.” - Ezra on H.R. 9495

The House will vote TODAY on a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to target civil society institutions that stand in the way of his authoritarian agenda. Please call your representative ASAP and tell them to vote no on H.R. 9495. https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-representative-vote-no-hr-9495-stop-trump-attacking-dissenting-organizations?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

This bill requires no oversight. No due-process. No justification. In Trump’s hands, it would be a weapon of mass destruction against dissent.

We have joined 120 civil society groups urging opposition to H.R. 9495. But if we want to make sure we defeat it, your Member of Congress needs to hear from you ASAP. Call your representative and tell them to vote no on H.R. 9495. https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-representative-vote-no-hr-9495-stop-trump-attacking-dissenting-organizations?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

🚨 TODAY: The House is going to vote on a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to target civil society institutions that stand in the way of his authoritarian agenda.

H.R. 9495 would allow Trump’s Treasury Department to label any not for profit organization — think tanks, human rights groups, civil liberties orgs, universities, student groups, even Indivisible — a “terrorist supporting organization” and strip it of its tax-exempt status.
