"McMahon also floundered when asked about the Obama-era Every Student Succeeds Act, one of the main laws governing K-12 education in the nation’s public schools. She didn’t know the specifics of funding required by another major statute, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. She falsely stated that “private schools aren’t taking federal dollars” . . ."

Linda McMahon just showed the Senate how little she knows about education.

Trump’s pick to head the Department of Education will be in charge of gutting it.

Mother Jones

  Yeah, but that DEI thang?

The minority of the court, all women whose record of legal intelligence that would never be matched to the majority Trump court others who voted to allow his criminal syndicate.

Indivisible Brooklyn is organizing a week-long call relay to Senator Chuck Schumer about Trump’s Cabinet of Horrors.

Day Four (today) focuses on Tulsi Gabbard. Make a call, spread the word, and call again tomorrow!

If you get voicemail, leave a message – it still counts.

Not in NY? Call your Senators to oppose these nominations!

Schumer's Phone Numbers (just call one!):
DC office: 202-224-6542
NYC office: 212-486-4430
Albany office: 518-431-4070

Sample Script: “Hello, my name is [NAME]. I'm a constituent living in [CITY and ZIPCODE], and I’m a committed voter calling to ask Senator Schumer to follow suit and whip his entire caucus against the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. She has been a clear threat to our nation with her connections to dictators like Putin and Assad. If Gabbard's nomination succeeds, our allies will no longer trust us and won't share their intelligence with us, leaving our nation extremely alone and vulnerable. No Democrat should support her dangerous, anti-democratic agenda."

Indivisible Brooklyn is organizing a week-long call relay to Senator Chuck Schumer about Trump’s Cabinet of Horrors.

Day Three (today) focuses on RFK Jr., Lee Zeldin, and the federal funding freeze. Make a call, spread the word, and call again tomorrow!

If you get voicemail, leave a message – it still counts.

Not in NY? Call your Senators to oppose these nominations!

Schumer's Phone Numbers (just call one!):
DC office: 202-224-6542
NYC office: 212-486-4430
Albany office: 518-431-4070

Sample Script: “Hello, my name is [NAME]. I'm a constituent living in [CITY and ZIPCODE], and I’m a committed voter calling to urge Senator Schumer to whip his caucus against Lee Zeldin for EPA head and RFK Jr. for HHS secretary. Zeldin, backed by fossil fuels, would dismantle the EPA, threatening our air, water, and climate. RFK Jr. opposes vaccines, spreads conspiracy theories, and wants to cut funding for crucial health and safety agencies like the NIH and FDA. Both pose serious risks to public health and the environment. No Democrat should support these dangerous nominations."

BONUS: "In response to Trump's executive order freezing Federal grants and loans, we need action and obstruction. How is it that every Dem voted to advance Sean Duffy for DOT on Monday, but today, after the EO, the Senator didn’t whip his caucus to block Duffy or rally all Dems to vote no? Why are any Dems advancing Trump’s nominations? We need obstruction, not compromise with fascists. No more nominations should pass until the freeze is withdrawn -- and beyond that, too!"

Indivisible Brooklyn is organizing a week-long call relay this week to NY Senator Chuck Schumer about Trump’s Cabinet of Horrors.

Day Two (today) is about Russell Vought. Make a call, tell a friend to call, do it again tomorrow!

If your call goes straight to voicemail, it’s fine to just leave a message -- your call will still be counted by Schumer's office.

If you don't live in NY, you can call your own Senators and let them know you oppose these nominations!

Schumer's Phone Numbers (just call one!):
DC office: 202-224-6542
NYC office: 212-486-4430
Albany office: 518-431-4070

Sample Script: “Hello, my name is [NAME]. I'm a constituent living in [CITY and ZIPCODE], and I'm a voter who never misses an election. I remember how Mitch McConnell got his caucus to block Democratic nomination after nomination. I’m calling to ask Senator Schumer to follow suit and whip his entire caucus against the nomination of Russell Vought for head of the Office of Management and Budget. ALREADY, IN NEWS FROM JUST LAST NIGHT, THE OMB HAS BEGUN BREAKING LAW PASSED BY CONGRESS BY DELAYING ALL GRANT AND CONTRACT PAYMENTS FOR POLITICAL REASONS. When Vought’s served Trump at OMB last time, he showed his willingness to defy congressional authority to advance the MAGA agenda, including violating federal law by directing OMB to withhold aid to Ukraine, as part of Trump’s extortion scheme. He played a central role in efforts to reclassify federal employees for mass firings to clear the way for Trump loyalists, part of the dangerous Project 2025 plan to turn the federal government into a tool for Trump-led autocracy. As an architect of this agenda and policy director for the 2024 GOP platform, Vought wants to remake the government into an instrument of white Christian nationalism and political retribution. Senate Democrats should unanimously reject the nominations of Russell Vought and his cruel and radical plans to weaponize and dismantle our institutions."

Indivisible Brooklyn is organizing a week-long call relay this week to NY Senator Chuck Schumer about Trump’s Cabinet of Horrors.

Day One (today) is about Bondi and Patel. Make a call, tell a friend to call, do it again tomorrow!

If your call goes straight to voicemail, it’s fine to just leave a message -- your call will still be counted by Schumer's office.

If you don't live in NY, you can call your own Senators and let them know you oppose these nominations!

Sample Script:
“Hello, my name is ___. I'm a constituent living in (City and zipcode), and I'm a voter who never misses an election. I remember how Mitch McConnell got his caucus to block Democratic nomination after nomination. I’m calling to ask Senator Schumer to follow suit and whip his entire caucus against the nomination of Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General and Kash Patel as FBI Director. Ms. Bondi is an outspoken advocate of Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. As Florida's AG, she solicited an illegal political contribution from Trump's foundation. She also sued to overturn the Affordable Care Act, and defended a state amendment banning same-sex marriage. Kash Patel has publicly announced his intention to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and ordinary Americans. He would take the bureau in an unprecedented and dangerous direction. Senate Democrats should unanimously reject the nominations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel as dangerous threats to our country and the rule of law."

A opinion about nazi-governments austerity policies by a deacon published in HS.

“It is wrong to cut social security for the poorest.

It is unsustainable to cut those who are barely surviving at the moment.”

On väärin leikata sosiaaliturvaa köyhimmiltä

On kestämätöntä leikata niiltä, jotka tällä hetkelläkin juuri ja juuri selviävät.

Helsingin Sanomat

Union actions agains Finlands nazi-government and its austerity policies have begun.

Union leader: “From here the actions will intensify. If nothing else helps, Finland will be put to halt if necessary.”

Ay-pomo: ”Tarvittaessa laitetaan Suomi seis”

Ammattiliitto JHL sanoo tiedotteessaan joutuvansa laajentamaan työtaisteluitaan, koska hallitus ei aio luopua työelämän kurjistamisesta ja suomalaisten kohtuuttomasta köyhdyttämisestä. Edessä voi olla vielä kovempia toimia, JHL:n puheenjohtaja Päivi-Niemi-Laine toteaa. Helsingin liikelaitos Staran työntekijät marssivat ulos työpaikoiltaan torstaina 12. lokakuuta. Ulosmarssi kestää tunnin ja sijoittuu työvuorojen loppuun. Käytännössä ulosmarssit alkavat välillä 13-14. 30

Been rooting for general strike since the government programme was published..

Disabled people have already been thrown under the buss by the nazi government, when parliament agreed to postpone and reopen The Disability Service Act that was to already be in action.

im afraid that if something isn’t done fast, one group after another will be sacrificed in this fascist purge, thats what is says in the program.

”Trade union movement wonders about Riikka Purra's arrogant behaviour - "She is very angry with us for some reason."

Sparks are flying between Riikka Purra, chair of the Finns Party, and the trade union movement. There are those in the Finns who think Purra has gone too far.”

Ay-liikkeessä ihmetellään Riikka Purran ylimielistä käytöstä – ”Hän on jostain hyvin sydämistynyt meille”

Kipinät lentävät perussuomalaisten puheenjohtajan Riikka Purran ja ay-liikkeen välillä. Perus­suomalaisissakin on heitä, joiden mielestä Purra on mennyt liian pitkälle.
