Just to be aware: Meta doesn't love Indivisible.

This is from communication from Indivisible headquarters this evening:

"Today, amidst a historic day of thousands of rallies to mobilize early voting and fight against Trump’s election sabotage, Meta suspended the primary No Kings Instagram account without warning or reason.

After intense backlash, Meta made the account visible again 90 minutes into the suspension, giving the appearance that everything was normal. But it blocked the account admin from posting for another three hours -- censoring the NO Kings coalition in the middle of today’s historic day of action. "

Consider trying out other platforms.

Log onto social media to check out No Kings posts from Indivisible on Bluesky, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, and TikTok and those of other No Kings partners and participants ( ) and amplify them as widely as you can.

"AI data center construction is diverting capital and labor away from building everything else we need. AI is the biggest, most costly, and least popular economic bet America has ever made. Why are we making it? Who stands to gain? Who’s going to lose? What can we do?"

Friends,

Uncovered documents raise questions about government transparency and plans for data centers.

Hagerstown's engineering consultant proposed helping both governments decide where data centers should go. Now Greg Murray is studying the infrastructure needed to support them.

WASHINGTON COUNTY INDIVISIBLE ENDORSES CANDIDATES IN TWO LOCAL RACES

Washington County Indivisible believes that good government begins with shared values: accountable leadership, constructive discussion, respect for our neighbors, and a commitment to serving the entire community. Those values guide our endorsements in this November’s local elections.

In a recent WCI membership survey, members specifically requested guidance on candidates in two local races: the Washington County Board of Commissioners and Board of Education. In response, we are endorsing candidates in these races who we believe reflect our organization’s values and the leadership our community deserves.

We support leaders who welcome productive dialogue, uphold good governance, and demonstrate accountability to the people they serve. We value diversity, equity, inclusion, and racial justice. We believe every student deserves the support and resources needed to succeed, with particular attention to those with the greatest needs.

With these principles in mind, Washington County Indivisible endorses:

Washington County Board of Education:
Pieter Bickford, Robin Merchant Spickler, and Linda Murray.

Washington County Board of Commissioners: Jonathan Fish, Les McIntosh, Sr., Lara A. Shepherd, David Williams, and Taj Smith.

We believe these candidates align with our values and offer an opportunity to put those principles into practice in our schools and county government. We hope these endorsements provide helpful guidance as members consider their choices.

Above all, we value the right of every eligible voter to participate and make their own decision. Whatever your choices, please make time to vote in this November’s election. Local decisions affect our classrooms, our neighborhoods, and our daily lives. Your voice matters in shaping them.

We strongly encourage early voting, which runs October 22–29, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you receive your ballot by mail, we encourage you, when possible, to return your completed ballot to an official, secure ballot drop box in Washington County. Ballots returned through a drop box must be deposited by 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 3. Visit the Washington County Board of Elections for locations and voting information.

"Cline and the other county leaders are asking residents to trust a developer whose record gives us every reason to demand scrutiny. Promises of investment and jobs do not excuse that record, and they will not protect us if the company cuts corners on environmental safeguards or leaves the public paying for its infrastructure demands"
