Indivisibles,

Here’s what we all already knew:
Donald Trump is a liar, cheat, and a criminal who will do anything to
amass power.

But last week, a court legitimized that knowledge when [ [link removed] ]Trump was
convicted on all 34 counts in his hush money trial in New York.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t change a thing: Donald Trump’s MAGA acolytes
will continue to follow him regardless of his convictions. 

How do we know this?

While it’s not surprising that [ [link removed] ]Trump attacked the trial in a “rambling
speech” on Friday, it is more surprising that his Republican colleagues --
the party of “law and order” -- fell in line to question the verdict, the
justice system, and the political motivations behind the trial. 

Here are a few choice reactions from Republicans in battleground
districts:

Marc Molinaro, NY19

[3]Marc Molinaro's statement: This is how we're going to do politics now?
Not through spirited debates but by weapoinizing the justice and court
system to attack a political rival right before the election. This is a
perversion of our justice system. The leading contender for the presidency
doesn't belong behind bars. It's disgraceful, unprecedented, and bad for
democracy

 

Kari Lake, AZ Senate

[4]Kari Lake's statement: We just witnessed the most egregious example of
election interference and an outright mockery of the rule of law in the
246-year history of our Republic. This entire process right down to the
verdict itself has been nothing but a shameful political stunt. This is a
non-crime that a Soros-backed DA conjured out of thin air and placed in
from of a highly conflicted Democrat judge, all in an effort to imprison
Joe Biden's political opponent. The star witness in this case was a
convicted perjurer, whose testimony before the court was one of the most
embarrassing debacles ever seen in a courtroom. This conviction should be
immediately reveresed upon appeal, and this legal tyranny will be
summarily rejected by the American people on November 5th.

 

Bernie Moreno, OH Senate

[5]Bernie Moreno's statement: Today is a dark day for American democracy.
Joe Biden and his leftwin allies engaged in election interference to
prosecute their top political opponent on bogus charges. This verdict is
representative of a banana republic, not a democracy. Sherrod Brown and DC
Democrats should be ashamed of this weaponization of our justice system.

Those are just a few MAGA candidates throwing our justice system, and the
twelve Americans who voted him guilty, to the wolves for the sake of
protecting this fraud -- and we could have easily listed more. 

That blind devotion is why, regardless of the verdict, Trump is still the
Republican nominee for president.

It is up to every single one of us to use our voices (here are two handy
guides, one to [ [link removed] ]talk to the people and another to [ [link removed] ]talk to our
representatives) and remind Americans that this conviction is an
acknowledgment of what we already knew -- Trump is corrupt. Trump is a
cheat. Trump is unfit to be president of the United States.

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call next
Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The MAGA Supreme Court’s reversal
of Roe v. Wade changed the course of contemporary American politics by
making it clear to all of us that MAGA Republicans weren’t just here
to make threats, they were going to follow through and rip away our
rights. Help us remind people that there’s a better option. For more
information on the Weekend of Action itself, [ [link removed] ]check out our Majority
over MAGA Weekend of Action (June 21-24) Toolkit, and join the kickoff
call to hear specifically about how we’ll be highlighting the ongoing
fight for reproductive rights this election year.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Take a look at our new Majority Over MAGA: State to State
resource. Neighbor2Neighbor (see below) may only be available in our
target districts, but it’s going to take everyone coming together to
drive wins in November. This State to State page will be our home for
all of the other resources and strategies that will power us to a true
democratic trifecta that will codify reproductive freedoms and enact
democracy reforms. Check this page to learn about phonebanks,
textbanks, postcards, reimbursements, and more that will be the
backbone of our 2024 election program.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Check and see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in your area. We
have opened pre-registration for Indivisible Action’s version of our
highly effective, community conversation program -- Neighbor2Neighbor.
If you want to have the biggest impact on voter turnout, this is the
most effective way we’ve found to mobilize community members (our
numbers prove it). Check and see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in
your area and, if it is, sign up today.
 4. Keep reading for more ways to take action…

P.S. In the 24 hours after Trump was convicted of falsifying business
records, his campaign raised over $53 million. We know his cult-like
following is willing to do whatever it takes to get him back into the
White House, but we also know this verdict will hurt Trump amongst
non-MAGA voters -- if we can break through the GOP's lies and
disinformation.

We have a plan to do just that:

Indivisible will be on the ground in every swing state and battleground
framing the narrative of this election in 1:1 conversations with voters.
But we can't do this work without your help. [ [link removed] ]If you have a few dollars
to spare, click here to pitch in and help us defeat MAGA this November.

 Majority Over MAGA National Phonebank

[ [link removed] ]Join a phone bank June 20 6pm ET/3pm PT

[ [link removed] ]Register for the Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action
National Phonebank for Sherrod Brown on Thursday, July 20 at 6pm ET/3pm
PT. This Ohio Senate seat is a must-win if we want to hold onto (and
expand) our Senate majority in November, and Sherrod Brown is up against a
Trump-backed, MAGA extremist. It is up to us to ensure that Sherrod has
the support necessary to win this race, and every single vote is going to
matter in a state as tightly contested as Ohio. Help us move one step
closer to a true trifecta and elect Sherrod Brown. There will be a
training to begin the event if you need a refresher on phonebanking.

Demand Your Members of Congress Call for a Ceasefire and Oppose The Rafah
Invasion

 

**Content Warning: Talk about the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**

 

Last Friday, [ [link removed] ]President Biden addressed the nation, delivering an
update on the administration’s work toward a ceasefire in Gaza. The key
highlight: “Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal” of a
three-phase ceasefire and pathway toward peace. You can see [ [link removed] ]our full
statement from Friday here.

Unfortunately, in the days since, [ [link removed] ]Netanyahu and members of his cabinet
have pushed back on the proposal, saying that their conditions for peace
“have not changed,” throwing into turmoil the idea that they were any
closer to a ceasefire deal -- or that the US had done enough to force
leaders at the table to accept a peace agreement. 

It is admirable that the Biden administration is continuing its work
alongside the international community in negotiating a ceasefire,
including pressuring Qatar to bring Hamas to the table, but it is past
time that we use our considerable leverage to close a peace deal. We must
stop supplying Israel with the offensive weaponry they are using to
continue this crisis.

The weekend before Biden’s address, a [ [link removed] ]US-made bomb was used to strike
a civilian encampment labeled a safe zone by the Israeli military. Not
only are US-made munitions being deployed in Gaza, they are explicitly
being used on at least one civilian safe-zone where Palestinians had been
forced to relocate. We have a moral and legal responsibility not to assist
in the killing of civilians ([ [link removed] ]even if Netanyahu says ‘oops’ after the
fact).

President Biden is taking the right steps in putting public pressure on
Netanyahu’s government to honestly work toward a ceasefire. But as he said
on Friday, “Everyone who wants peace now must raise their voices and let
their leaders know.” We need to do our part to pressure our
representatives to use every bit of the leverage we have to ensure the
safe return of the hostages, a sustained ceasefire, the free flow of
desperately needed humanitarian aid, and an end to the incursion into
Rafah.

[ [link removed] ]We must pause all offensive weapons shipments to the Israeli military.

 Justice Alito and SCOTUS Corruption

After it was reported that Justice Samuel Alito has flown [ [link removed] ]two separate
versions of flags that are [ [link removed] ]symbols of support for the January 6th
insurrection outside of his home, [ [link removed] ]Alito has stated his refusal to
recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s attempted overthrow of our
government.

This would be a conflict of interest for any judge, but is especially
horrific given our ongoing need for impartial checks and balances as Trump
makes continued allusions to refusing to accept the results of an
election.

The MAGA Supreme Court doesn’t just have a corruption problem, it has an
insurrection problem.



It is past time for Congress to take action, and we need your help to make
that happen:

[ [link removed] ]If you have Senate representation, ask your senators to take a stand
against Supreme Court corruption. Make sure your senators are being vocal
about the need for a thorough investigation into Alito’s corruption.
Congress cannot just accept a corrupt court; they must do everything in
their power to expose that corruption and root it out.



Take a moment to defend our democracy today.

 Indivisible Civics' Truth Brigade

[ [link removed] ]Truth Brigade Big Truths Call featuring Kristina Wilfore Wed. June 12
at 6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT

[ [link removed] ]Register for Indivisible Civics’ Truth Brigade’s next Big Truths call:
Hidden in Plain Sight: Disinfo Attacking Women on Wednesday, June 12 at
6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. On this month’s call, we will be featuring special
guest Kristina Wilfore, the Director of Innovation and Global projects at
[ [link removed] ]Reset.tech and an adjunct professor at the George Washington
University Elliot School of International Affairs. Join us for a
wonderfully informative session from an incredible expert. For a quick
preview from Kristina: 

“Weaponizing social media against women leaders with gendered
disinformation and hate is one of the most effective mechanisms deployed
to erode democratic institutions, divide social groups, exercise foreign
influence, and support the growth of transnational far-right movements.
Attacks that aim to undermine women leaders reach millions at very low
cost, and represent an early warning of democratic backsliding.
Fact-checking and de-bunking efforts to expose disinformation are
important, but not sufficient to ever stop its spread. For that, a
concerted and coordinated whole of society effort is needed to bolster a
rights-based approach to information integrity.”
