Thank you on this labor day!!

This Labor Day, we celebrate the immigrants whose hard work plays a vital role in our communities. At a moment when our immigrant community is under attack, we must remember that their work and contributions to this country matter. Thank you for all you do.

We're still waiting, sadly, for some #GreatLakes versions of this in the #Midwest. @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social? @indivisiblemi.bsky.social @indivisiblenwi.bsky.social?
This is a study that cries out, in our not so humble opinions, to be replicated in red & rural USA. Starting maybe with #Indiana. What say you @hoosleft.us or @projectnext.bsky.social ?

Listen. Sometimes three hours straight from the firehose is too much. I get it. That's why I divide HoosLeft This Week into manageable segments on YouTube. You like to drink straight from the hose? Project Next this Sunday 10:30am. Sicko. ((me too)) https://youtu.be/ye-ut9nng6U

More than 1,000 protests are scheduled today all across America. Large crowds will be standing up to the Trump regime, and joining major unions for โWorkers Over Billionairesโ events. More here:
๐ @indivistwincities.bsky.social for brightening our morning outlook with this new way of speaking up! (Volunteers took 2 hour shifts standing in front of the GOP booth at the fair, wearing t-shirts like these.)
This is a big ask for #Indiana, maybe. But we say: If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough! ๐ช ๐๐ฝ

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
Greater #Lafayette #Resistance (& democracy-lovers in #Indy & other nearby locales): pls consider supporting this event on Mon. Sept. 1st in not-so-far-away #Lebanon #Indiana. It's their first resistance event & it would be lovely if the turnout was HUGE! Noon at the Boone County Courthouse.
In #Lafayette, we'll be celebrating Constitution Day with a book group discussion! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...
RSVP for the event in Gary (Sept. 15) here: www.mobilize.us/acluin/event... RSVP for the event in Evansville (Sept. 17) here: www.mobilize.us/acluin/event... RSVP for the virtual event (Sept. 16) here: www.mobilize.us/acluin/event...
From the beaches of @lakemichigan13.bsky.social to the banks of the Ohio river, in celebration of Constitution Day, #Indiana will #RiseUp in community for discussions of democracy. ๐ @acluindiana.bsky.social for sponsoring in-person and virtual events.
We're pretty sure that #Indiana Republican legislators could ALL use a rubber ducky right about now. (A visual reminder to support the impeachment of RFKjr.) Yes, we've ordered one for Rep. Jim Baird. ๐ฆ

I am pleased with the courtโs decision upholding a Court of International Trade ruling that the president has acted unlawfully and exceeded his authority under the law: tinyurl.com/yx57er2k
Never give in. Never give up. " I do not know if we will defeat the neo-Confederates & fascists ... but every life saved, every person helped, is a victory over them. These people want us to give in to despair; to give up. " So, #Hoosiersky: keep practicing radical acts of small #resistance! ๐ช
Years of organizing meant people knew their rights, had red โKnow Your Rightsโ cards in their pockets, and were willing to speak out ... [to] step forward not just to report what theyโd seen, but to stand beside those targeted, offering food, rides, and moral support. ๐๐ #ResistanceIsNotFutile

"Keep your eyes on the prize." "Carry your light out into the sh*tstorm." ๐ #Hoosiersky this means you.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trumpโs troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. Thatโs not politics...thatโs spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.๐ฅ
When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
THIS. #Indiana needs more of THIS!

indivisible.org/campaign/mil... Great resource includes non-partisan safety-oriented actions that citizens can ask their city council, mayor, county commission (etc.) to enact. In many #Hoosier locales, even just introducing these resolutions via public comment time may help de-normalize MAGA ideas.
Rejoice with us, #Indiana; 45 cities will #RiseUp this weekend ๐. And check out that cool, cool, VERY pointed cover art on this Activist Almanac Issue: "...only YOU ๐ซต can prevent fascism ๐คก from setting our world on fire."

Excellent question.

Now with fresh details at this link: www.wrtv.com/news/local-n...
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isnโt recruiting heroes, itโs recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
"I watched U.S. movies and TV dramas when I was a teenager, so I still have that hope that American dreams can become true," said a Purdue University student from China. "But I don't know how realistic it is."
"Other public events are held in that location, and there is no reason that PrideFest should be any different."

When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
Yes, actually, yes, the federal ๐คก's policies do exactly that. www.indystar.com/story/news/p... No more ICE in #Indiana!

#Indiana, Hold your lawmakers accountable for how they utilize your tax dollars. Call and ask your state rep & state senator if they went to the White House at Trumpโs invitation, & who paid the bill. Taxpayers shouldnโt be forced to subsidize political power grabs like this! #RiseUp! #Resist! ๐ช๐๐ฝ๐ฑ

Fantastic thread. This is your daily reminder to #RiseUp, #Hoosiersky. Spend 5 minutes per day, like brushing your teeth. Call the statehouse & protest re-districting (see # pinned above). Ask a local business to put out an anti-ICE sign (act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...). Ground Avelo (etc.)
