Thank you @Teamsters for walking the walk and backing our national ULP strike. THIS is what solidarity looks like ✊

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING!! 🚨

In a previously unreleased memo, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien throws the FULL WEIGHT of his union behind striking Starbucks workers.

Teamsters drivers have already refused to make hundreds of deliveries to Starbucks stores where baristas are striking.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

The holidays bring us together, but they can also bring misinformation to the dinner table. Instead of getting pulled into arguments that go nowhere, try using the Truth Sandwich, a method developed by the Indivisible Truth Brigade.

Here is how it works:

1. Start with shared values.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

We are so close to reaching our goal of $10,000 by Thanksgiving. Help us make this happen!

Cream colored flyer with an orange semicircle at the top and red lettering. It reads “ATLANTANS UNITED FOR MUTAL AID Food Bank Drive Help us get to $10,000 for Atlanta Community Food Bank by Thanksgiving Day! Every dollar will help ensure every family in the Atlanta Metro Area has a full table this holiday season! DONATE TODAY AT GIVE.ACFB.ORG/TEAM/784657 Only $2,200 away from our goal” Below the writing is a rough sketch of three people sitting at a table with food and wine. At the bottom of the table is the logo for Necessary Trouble and on either side are red, orange, and yellow pumpkins and squash.

Data centers are popping up nationwide—draining resources and driving up power costs. Now a 1-million square foot center is proposed in a residential area in GA-13. In Congress, I’ll push for real impact studies of these centers and make sure companies pay, not taxpayers.

Next week, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=b...
(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

When the Secretary of Health and Human Services spreads doubt about vaccines based on no evidence, there are consequences.

We are on the verge of losing our measles elimination status.

It’s a failure of leadership.

ICE raids have terrorized families, deported lawful residents, & shattered communities. Masked officers throwing people into unmarked vehicles sounds like something out of a horror movie, not America.

I’ll hold ICE accountable, demand transparency, & protect the people of GA-13.
