[THREAD] Kavanaugh’s confirmation today is just 1 part of Republicans’ decades-long campaign to subvert our democracy. They put their relentless pursuit of a Supreme Court controlled by radical right-wingers ahead of brave women who have told their stories. #KavanaughConfirmation
By taking extreme personal risk, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford & sexual assault survivors galvanized this process. Disturbing and credible allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were brought to light by several courageous women. None of it mattered to Republicans. #KavanaughConfirmation
Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath. He should be disbarred and investigated, not elevated to the Supreme Court. He has the lowest approval rating of a SCOTUS nominee since Robert Bork.
#KavanaughConfirmation
Activists from every state called, organized, and told their Senators to #StopKavanaugh.
From Maine:
To Alaska:
To West Virginia:
Survivors and activists poured their hearts and souls into this fight.
We #BelieveSurvivors, and we’ll continue to follow their brave lead as we hold the people who voted to allow the radical reshaping of our Supreme Court with abusers and right-wing extremists accountable.
#KavanaughConfirmation
No doubt, Trump and Senate Republicans will take a victory lap on the Sunday talk shows and in the coming days. As hard as it may feel right now, we mustn't give up hope -- the Senate got their vote today, but we get to vote in November. #KavanaughConfirmation
We're devastated. We're furious. And we're going to do something about it. Channel your outrage into action:
1) Register to vote: indivisible.turbovote.org/?r=social
2) Then volunteer to get out the vote: act.indivisible.org/signup/gotv-vo…

The most effective thing you can do as a constituent is pressure your own members of Congress to take legislative action. It’s where you have the most leverage — and legislation is better and longer-lasting than actions taken by any president.

But we're in a critical moment. 🧵
The Senate is nearly gridlocked. We aren't giving up but we also need solutions that aren't held hostage by dysfunction. The American people can't afford to wait.

We need @POTUS' administration to take bold executive action on a variety of issues that families are facing today.
Despite conservative Democrats' attempts to sabotage his agenda, President Biden has the power to deliver on many important promises he made. Just as President Obama implemented DACA via executive action, @POTUS can make immediate improvements to people’s lives without Congress.

Sen. Sinema's remarks on the Senate floor today were egregious, frustrating--but not unexpected. Despite what she had to say, this is not the time for Senate Democrats to accept defeat and go home. Sen. Sinema says she wants a robust public debate – so let’s have one.
Majority Leader Schumer has a plan to bring this to the Senate floor for debate on Monday. Let’s have that debate, move forward & eventually make everyone – including Sen. Sinema – state their position for the history books. Will she choose our democracy and sacred right to vote?
Or will she choose to enable Republicans who've spent the last decade surgically targeting Black & brown voters with racist voter suppression laws, entrenching minority rule through partisan gerrymandering & turning over our democracy to corporations, the wealthy & dark $ groups?

*record scratch* We interrupt our regularly-scheduled democracy reform programming to let you know we're VERY excited to endorse @TheOtherMandela, @JamieforOregon and @Marie4Congress! These grassroots champions will bring the fight for progressive change to the halls of Congress.
.@TheOtherMandela is a historic candidate running in a historic moment. Poised to become the youngest ever and first Black Senator from Wisconsin, and having grown up in one of the poorest zip codes in the state, Mandela is the kind of transformational leader we need right now. Image
.@JamieforOregon would make history as Oregon’s first out LGBTQ member of Congress. She's taking on Rep. Kurt Schrader, who’s been one of the foremost obstacles to President Biden’s popular Build Back Better agenda. We endorsed Jamie in 2018 and we're proud to endorse her again. Image

Today’s oral arguments on Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy is further proof that the conservative justices at the Supreme Court are more interested in promoting a far-right extremist ideology than defending the Constitution. 🧵
Mississippi’s draconian abortion ban is clearly unconstitutional under the Court’s own precedent, and the fact that this case is being heard at all shows just how far off the rails the conservative justices have gone.
The radical conservative supermajority installed by Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump is set on gutting Roe v. Wade and extinguishing the constitutional right to abortion.

🧵 We are exactly one year away from the midterm elections.

And we are excited to tell you about our first endorsements for 2022! Our endorsements program focuses on supporting progressive champions so they have the resources required to compete in and win Democratic primaries.
Here's how our endorsements program works: Indivisible groups across the country nominate candidates, who are vetted and asked to complete a questionnaire covering vital issues. Then the nomination is voted on by all Indivisibles in the candidate's district.
Our endorsed candidates received a supermajority of support from their districts. They are progressive trailblazers already in Congress, and they are insurgents working to oust ineffectual incumbents.

And they are the keys to securing more wins for transformative legislation.

ExxonMobil was finally caught on camera detailing what activists have been screaming about for decades: dark money = political influence.
Their mobs of lobbyists have been meeting weekly with a group of lawmakers to pressure them to weaken the climate investments in the bipartisan infrastructure package. So now we have the ExxonMobil plan.
Democratic members of Congress who were taking those meetings include Sens. Coons, Hassan, Kelly, Manchin, Sinema and Tester. Disappointing. And not the people-powered policymaking we expect.
