Trump May Invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act

On his first day in office last January, wannabe king Trump declared a national emergency on our southern border granting him broad powers to repel a non-existent  "invasion." (In actual fact, the number of illegal border crossings is at an historic low.) Trump's declaration also gave the departments of Defense and Homeland Security 90 days to produce a report recommending that he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807. 

That report has now come due. Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act at any moment.

The Origin of May Day: American unions then set May 1st 1890, as a national day of action for the 8-hour day. Socialists in Europe did the same, declaring May Day to be International Workers Day. Since then, throughout the world May 1st has continued to be a day for social and economic justice movements of all kinds and issues.

Media coverage of the protests in one part of the country had been dismal, so some of the protesters there wrote letters-to-the-editor to their local newspapers and TV stations, calling them out for their failure to inform the public of the protest results. You can, too!

Indivisible SF recently joined four other Indivisible groups (representing Sacramento, San Jose, the East Bay, and Mariposa/Yosemite Area), as well as the Coalition Against Project 2025, to submit a letter of support for CA State Senate bill SB497. 

For the first time since Social Security was established in 1935 by Roosevelt's New Deal coalition, it is facing a real and immediate threat from Trump/Musk and the shadow brotherhood of billionaires and mega-corporations behind them.

One of our members attended a recent town hall with Kevin Mullin - here’s their update!

We’re nearly two months into the second Trump regime, and like other wanna-be dictators (such as Viktor Orbán, as chronicled in Democracy Noir), he’s been taking seriously concerning actions to curb press freedom in the United States to put the American people in the dark about his administration’s misdeeds.

"Got polio? Me neither. Thanks science!" The signs were nerdy. The labcoats gleamed in the bright afternoon sun. Hundreds, maybe a thousand people gathered in Civic Center Plaza in SF to defend a pillar of our modern world that too many of us take for granted: science.

Our mantra must be "No Cooperation With Autocrats."

Thanks to your calls, S.9, the bill to target transgender students with harassment and discrimination, has failed in the Senate with Democrats standing united to block a vote on the bill.

Since Trump's first inauguration in 2017, Indivisible has been fighting back against his agenda of hate, bigotry, and authoritarianism.

Congress reconvenes from their recess next Monday. Nineteen working days later –  at midnight, March 14 – the federal government runs out of money. Without new funding, major domestic services and programs will shut down (military & police will continue).
