Tomorrow is our last chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. We can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double digits, but only if we turn enough voters out — please make some calls to help us send @aftynbehn.bsky.social to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

Roofing tacks accidentally spilled in the road?
yeah, but 'dangerous weapon' charges might be a bit harder to handle.. as it is, 'obstruction' charges are growing in number. not that we shouldn't obstruct but we have to be ready for the consequences. ready and WILLING to take the hit in order to stand for RIGHT (and no, not 'that' right).

If you don’t know how close this race is, this was a previously +22 Republican district! It’s now a 2 point race and likely getting closer each day. If you have extra time to spare this holiday season, check out this chance to help flip a gerrymandered district in Tennessee. Let’s Flip This Seat!

According to the US constitution the president would need congressional approval before attacking a foreign nation (Venezuela), EXCEPT when the strikes target a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
The U.S. has officially designated Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a member of a foreign terrorist organization
This move enables additional sanctions on the regime's assets and logistical networks.

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long.
