A Constitutional Crisis!

Under our Constitution, presidents can’t defy court orders. They’re often unhappy and sometimes angry about decisions, but they always act with respect for the Constitution and the rule of law.

A crisis loomed this week: The Administration defied the courts’ authority to deport 137 people without real evidence and without due process. They invoked the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798, which Thomas Jefferson called a law from a “reign of witches.”

Support the legal and advocacy work of The Brennan Center for Justice to uphold the rule of law in the US.

Protect Free Speech and People: Demand the Release of Mahmoud Khalil.

The Trump administration is silencing a peaceful protester by threatening his residency and deportation, undermining civil rights for us all!

Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident and Columbia University grad (also a lead negotiator for the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia last year), was arrested in NYC by ICE and is being detained in a private prison in Louisiana with no official charges.

Act now: Call your members of Congress to demand Mahmoud Khalil’s immediate release, reunite him with his family, and protect our right to protest.

Chuck Has Got To Go!

For years, Indivisible has fought alongside Senator Schumer to push for progressive policies and hold the line against Republican extremism. But his capitulation on the Republican funding bill was not just a failure of strategy — it was a failure of leadership. And if he will not fight in this defining moment, then we must demand someone who will. Indivisibles deserve a Democratic party, and leadership of that party, who is committed to fighting as hard as we are.

The planet needs our help!

From Senator Markey: The Trump administration is trying to rescind $20B already approved for climate and environmental grants under Biden. To justify this illegal action, the EPA has asked the Dept. of Justice to investigate trumped-up charges against the grantees. When a DOJ attorney refused to go along, she was fired, and the funds are still in jeopardy.

Sign a petition supporting Sen Markey’s effort to release these funds.

Massachusetts and the planet will benefit.

Can Trump really do that? Legal Remedies Must Be Employed!

The Trump administration is drowning us with egregiously illegal acts that threaten our Constitution. They will try anything for unlimited power and worry about challenges later but ONLY IF WE LET THEM!

Many of their policies are poorly conceived and can be successfully challenged. Let’s call in legal organizations to tackle these challenges. There are 200 pro-democracy judges since 2021.

Let’s engage Democracy Forward to work with them to pull back our Constitution.
