Labor Day is a reminder that the 40-hour work week, fair wages, and safe workplaces didn’t happen by chance — they were won by workers organizing together. Organized labor has made our country great. Unions built the middle class. Solidarity keeps it strong. ✊ #LaborDay
Vince grow a BACKBONE!!! #BB27
LMAO Will wishing for fast forward and pause with boring convos is so real #BB27
This is the one to follow ⬇️
I wanted this summer to be a summer of activism—and our communities showed up in ways that left me inspired and hopeful. The strength and resolve I’ve witnessed these past few months has been incredible. More in the video ⬇️⬇️ #politics #progressive #democrat #resist #strongertogether
If anyone’s ever looking to lose brain cells, I’d suggest you watch on a MAGA pundit on television. The pretzels they twist themselves into to defend Donald Trump’s chaos is mind-numbing.
Watch my Interview with Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #politics #illinois #chicago #barrington #politicalnews #democratsofbluesky
Stay out of Chicago, Donald Trump. Neither Chicago, nor Illinois will capitulate to your fascist dreams just because you’d like us to. Out here, we like Democracy, and say no to dictatorship. www.cnn.com/2025/08/23/p...
It’s been a wild few days, but I’m excited to share a new series I’m starting! I got to interview 15+ candidates and elected officials at Barrington Area Democrats’s annual fundraisers. Some pretty good convos! Check out the promo ⬇️ #politics #interview #news #illinois
I will never stop using my voice to fight for others. Please join me in standing up to hate, and the hateful.
Trans kids have the same rights as all kids. Perhaps not everyone is willing to accept that-so instead, they traffick in hate and bigotry. No child should be targeted for who they are. Hate can only win if people like you and me refuse to speak up. I won’t let hate win.
I am in this fight for good decent people everywhere. I hope to continue that fight in whatever way I can!
We are damn proud that this #GenZ kid is in our group. Tonight, in Palatine #Illinois, District 211, they held a school board meeting about a single 14 yr old trans kid who just wants to exist. Haters came out in full force. Then @ishaansrivastava.bsky.social stood up. 💯 WATCH. #LGBTQ #transrights
Oklahoma is 50th in education. They have a teacher shortage. But their superintendent of education is more concerned with administering “ideology” tests. That’s absolute BS. Ryan Walters wants to punish Democrats for their views, and hurt Oklahoman students. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
This is absolutely insane.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
This is what we need more of!!
I was proud of my little Florida town tonight as I crossed town and witnessed a huge protest… at 5pm on a TUESDAY! People are MAD!
Yes I found that to be really upsetting.
My name is Ishaan Srivastava. I’m a GenZ political activist fighting for a better tomorrow. I’m on a mission to make politics more accessible for young people, and defend democracy. Will you join me in this fight? Follow along for the journey 🇺🇸👊 #progressive #Democrat #liberal #politics

Exactly
Hypocrites be hypocrites ig
Life comes at you fast
Why is anybody surprised that Elise Stefanik’s getting booed? Not even her own party wants her 🫣 #nypolitics #nyc #politics #news #elisestefanik
they deserve not a moment of peace in public life tbh
It really seems like it
It is absolutely unacceptable. We have to stand up against their authoritarianism.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
I am in complete agreement with “The Bern” For its time the youngers get inspired. With the felon in charge it doesn’t take much to be smarter than felon. The GOP are fascist oligarchs. Taking all our rights, You all have good ideas use them!! Be authentic. youtube.com/shorts/_g8JE...
I stand with Rep. Nicole Collier. What kind of authoritarian country do we live in where legislators are assigned officers who monitor their location and follow them?? We have to fight authoritarianism with our collective power. #texas #democracy #resist www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Not at all, that’s exactly what needs to happen.
Yes, I do a lot of politics. But I’m also a diehard #bigbrother fan; you will be seeing a good amount of both on this feed. #BB27 #BigBrother27
LOL AGREED
Is he allowed to eliminate mail-in-ballots via executive order? Last time I checked, this was a country of laws, and the constitution-and the constitution’s pretty clear about who handles voting. HINT: it’s not Donald Trump. #Trump #mailinballots #vote #resist #news #politics #illinois
legit laughing my ass off
It’s the “What did I do” part that has me in this fight for a more just democracy. I will not go down without a fight. We will overcome, and we demand accountability for what this admin has done. I implore those legal minds get to the bottom of the Epstein files! Amongst all the other atrocities.
Oh my God
Thank you for all of your work as well-this is team effort, and we are stronger BECAUSE we stand together 🙌
I’m proud to call you my friend, thank you for all of your work!! 🙌🙌🙌
BEST team ever!!!!
This kid right here ⬇️ He's going places. No doubt. We're so damn proud to call him a member of our team. @ishaansrivastava.bsky.social @indivisible.org #Illinois #GenZ #activism
Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill isn’t for working people. It’s for his billionaire buddies. He hands them tax cuts-while ripping healthcare away from 17 million Americans. Working families pay the price so the ultra-wealthy can cash in. #politics #healthcare #medicaid #biguglybill
It’s been great getting to know you, Robert!!
@ishaansrivastava.bsky.social I’ve met this young dem. Organizer several protests ago. You’re well spoken and courageous. As a boomer I’m concerned for all your generation. We need to get our Illinois 9th District congressional reps together. 26 is fast approaching. Here is a map. Follow him! 💙🤺👍
I just spoke to a FIRED UP crowd today in Elk Grove…more to come! But this is exactly what we need in this moment-take a look! #indivisible #illinois #politics #progressive @indivisibleegt.com @indivisible.org

I’m loving whatever core this is @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Donald Trump wants to be an authoritarian so bad. He assumed control of DC law enforcement, and deployed the national guard there. He says it’s about crime-but crime is at a multi-decade low in DC. This is another excuse for him amass more authoritarian power. We must continue to push back. 🇺🇸👊

I’ve been reflecting this Fourth of July weekend. I don’t need to remind anyone that times are tough. But even now, I still believe we’re part of the most extraordinary story ever told. The promise of America is still alive. We just have to keep showing up and fighting to write its next chapter.
SAY SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! - John Lewis We must keep the faith & keep our eyes on the prize. July 17, we get into trouble, #goodtrouble, necessary trouble. Join us! July 17th @ 6pm in Arlington Heights #Illinois *to benefit the Elk Grove Township Food Pantry RSVP www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...
-17 million Americans removed off of their healthcare coverage. -3 million Americans, including seniors, veterans, and children stripped of food benefits. -$4 trillion added to our debt. -The largest wealth transfer in history. That is the big ugly bill, the GOP’s flagship policy, for you.
17 million Americans.
Let’s so clear about what Republicans are doing with the Big Ugly Bill. Tell your Rep. to VOTE NO!! #biguglybill #bigbeautifulbill #savemedicaid #healthcare

Yes I’ve been seeing the comments on Instagram. It’s oddly flattering to see all these people dedicate their time to my 30 second clip. Their hate is loud, but our voices are stronger. I’ll keep doing what I do so they have something to talk about! 🇺🇸👊 Follow @realishaansrivastava on IG for more
Your voice is your superpower. 👊
Seeing a lot of haters on my latest instagram post! I guess it’s easy to be ignorant when the future of this country doesn’t matter to you, or that you perhaps worship a king? We have to keep working together to push back against hate. I’m not giving up, are you? 🇺🇸👊 #NoKings
GenZ is with me on this: In America, we don’t do kings. 🇺🇸 #NoKings @indivisibleegt.bsky.social @msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @lynnemccartney.bsky.social
This is absolutely what Democracy looks like. Many thanks to all the #Chicago suburbanites who made this a most excellent day. 6K in the suburbs? What's next? 👀 #Illinois #NoKingsDay #protests Stay connected - linktr.ee/indivisibleegt @maddow.msnbc.com @cbschicago.bsky.social

Sen. Alex Padilla was just detained. Donald Trump and his cronies are now punishing Senators for dissenting with brute force. That is unacceptable-that’s what the regimes in Russia and North Korea do. Now is not the time to tune out. Now is not the time to stay silent. We have to speak up. 🇺🇸
Donald Trump and his cronies have now arrested a U.S. Senator. That is absolutely unacceptable. We cannot accept a reality where dissent is punished with brute force this way. That’s what they do in Russia, and North Korea. In this authoritarian takeover, we need to say loud and clear: stop it!
