Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, HungaryListen to the full uncut conversation in this podcast feed.Watch the episode released on YouTube, PBS World Channel, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Watching Democrats capitulate on the government shutdown without getting anything in return was a real kick to the face to everyone who thought we might finally have an opposition up for the fight. As Indivisible's Ezra Levin reminds us, once we move past anger this can be a real opportunity. If we want the Democratic party to be better, it's up to all of us to do the work to change it, to challenge the status quo, and to build a fighting machine strong enough to take on this regime. With that in mind, we need to care about primaries so we can choose leaders who are truly ready to meet the moment. Will we continue to lose our country to support the establishment, or are we ready to support fighters who might arrive from the outside? This is an inflection point. We need a party that can not only win elections, but leaders who will shake things up once they get there.   As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

No-Kings-Proteste in den USA: Ein Ehepaar hat erreicht, dass Millionen Menschen gegen ihren Präsidenten auf die Strasse gehen. Vor genau einem Jahr wurde Donald Trump zum US-Präsidenten gewählt.

Tonight on The Last Word: The New York Times reports Donald Trump is demanding $230 million from taxpayers to pay for his past investigations. Also, an appeals court hears arguments on Trump's authority to send the National Guard to Los Angeles. Plus, the majority of Americans say the U.S. is on the wrong track on immigration.

When millions of Americans take to the streets and do it with joy, laughter, and inflatable unicorns you know something historic is happening. This Jo sits down with Ezra Levin, co‑founder of Indivisible and co‑organizer of the “No Kings” protests, to unpack how the largest peaceful demonstrations in U.S. history came together and why joy is now a weapon against authoritarianism. They break down how a movement built on inclusion and “tactical frivolity” is reshaping resistance, what comes next for the No Kings Alliance, and how ordinary people (yes, even in the reddest small towns) are reclaiming democracy one community at a time.

It has been weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected to represent Arizona's 7th congressional district in Congress, but because Grijalva would represent the deciding vote to force a vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, Mike Johnson has found every excuse he can to postpone swearing Grijalva into office so she can officially begin work on behalf of her constituents. Now Arizona is out of patience and has sued Johnson directly for denying representation in Congress to the American voters who elected Grijalva. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes joins Jen Psaki to discuss.Fresh from the massive success of Saturday's "No Kings" protest, many people are asking what comes next. Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, talks with Jen Psaki about how the No Kings movement can make productive use of its momentum, and the launch of the "No Kings Alliance" for rapid response activism.Jen Psaki reports on Paul Ingrassia, Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Office of the Special Counsel, who managed to stay in good standing with Republicans despite a long string of scandals, but ultimately withdrew his himself from the confirmation process after new reports, which he disputes, that he once described himself as having a 'Nazi streak,' an accusation that cost him too many Republican votes to sustain his nomination.

Tonight on The Last Word: Donald Trump lashes out after “No Kings” protests draw a historic turnout. Also, the government shutdown reaches day 20, becoming the third longest in U.S. history. Plus, James Comey files a motion to dismiss the charges against him. And the House Oversight Committee releases the transcript of the Alex Acosta interview. Ezra Levin, Mayor Brandon Johnson, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Joyce Vance, and Lisa Rubin join Jonathan Capehart. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The No Kings rallies were incredibly successful, peaceful and mobilizing, but as our guest, Indivisible's Ezra Levin, says: “If that's all we do, it won't be enough.” To fight this lawless regime Americans must continue to grow and diversify our tactics. This is not about one day of protest, but one of many efforts needed to stop government overreach. If you're interested in next steps I encourage you to join the No Kings call Tuesday October 21st at NoKings.org or, if you're listening to this later, go to indivisible.org to listen to the recording, or find or start an Indivisible group of your own. For now, keep talking about the rallies, tell the stories, celebrate what 7 million+ Americans did, and refuse to let our country be gaslit into thinking it didn't matter, because it did and we'll only get more powerful from here.   As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Rachel Maddow points out the exceptional and unusually effusive praise and thanks that Donald Trump heaped on Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the president of Egypt, at an event tied to the Israel-Gaza ceasefire, in which Trump bizarrely mentioned his race against Hillary Clinton. The episode calls to mind a mysterious $10 million and a related investigation's questions left open-ended after Trump was inaugurated the first time.Rachel Maddow looks at recent examples of Donald Trump using the power of American taxpayers to cut deals for himself and his friends and family, and focuses on the especially galling case of Trump and his Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, sending an extraordinary $20 billion to bail out Argentina at a time when the U.S. government is closed for lack of funding.Rachel Maddow reports that the number of events planned for the "No Kings" day of protest on Saturday, October 18 already exceeds the previous "No Kings" protests that drew millions of Americans to voice their opposition to Donald Trump's overreach and attacks on democracy in the United States. Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, joins to discuss the planning and organizing taking place.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Those who seek to destroy democracy want us to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, hopeless and alone. Which is why we need each other for strength, camaraderie, and courage. As the Resistance on Andor say, “I have friends everywhere.” As we do too. Friends, fellow countrymen, and brave patriots who want what we do. A country that's free, fair, just and stable, and leaders who will represent us and fight back. If we can't find those leaders then we might, however reluctantly, have to become those leaders. Join me and Ezra Levin, as we discuss being part of the active resistance and building an army of pro-democracy warriors starting with No Kings Day on June 14th.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Ezra talks about how Indivisible launched from a Google doc that he and Leah Greenberg co-wrote, and the transformative potential of a nonviolent movement of local communities protesting peacefully and boisterously and demonstrating to each other that we are not alone in fighting authoritarianism. Debbie talks about the Mod Squad, coins the term "weathervaning," and offers practical tips for how everyone and anyone can contribute, and both underline the message that only the people can save democracy. Ezra also reminds us all that gathering in your community to protect each other is the most human thing you can do. Find the full audio library of Blue Vote Café episodes at http://bluevotecafe.com.

À Cannes hier soir, Jafar Panahi a reçu une Palme d'or « tellement méritée », s'exclame le Parisien-Dimanche, au-dessus de la photo du réalisateur iranien, souriant, derrière ses lunettes noires qu'il n'a pas quittées de la cérémonie. « Plusieurs fois emprisonné sans son pays, Jafar Panahi a été récompensé pour un grand film politique et bourré d'humour », ajoute le Parisien-Dimanche. Ce film, c'est Un simple accident, que le journal résume ainsi : « une comédie noire sur la revanche du petit peuple contre un ancien tortionnaire, tourné avec trois fois rien et qui tient aussi bien du thriller que de la comédie et du grand film politique ». « L'émotion l'a terrassé sur son siège pendant quelques secondes, alors que la salle se levait pour l'applaudir », raconte la Tribune Dimanche, il remporte « la Palme d'or de l'engagement et de la liberté ». Le Journal du Dimanche salut, de son côté, une Palme d'or « symbole de résistance », et rapporte les propos de Jafar Panahi, tenus quelques heures avant la cérémonie : « Dimanche, je reprends l'avion pour Téhéran, je ne sais pas quels ennuis m'y attendent, mais l'Iran est mon pays et je ne saurai pas faire du cinéma ailleurs ».Ça se passe loinGros plan sur la guerre en Ukraine, vue de Russie. « Après trois ans de guerre », raconte le Point, « la population russe navigue entre soutien, désillusion et ressentiment ». « Pour une grande majorité d'habitants », poursuit l'hebdomadaire, « la guerre, pudiquement appelée "opération militaire spéciale", continue d'être une gêne lointaine ». À l'université par exemple, un étudiant grec raconte que ses compagnons russes « sont plus en colère contre l'Union européenne qui les sanctionne que contre leur gouvernement qui a commencé et soutient cette guerre ». À Moscou, un opposant au régime, lui, explique : « Ça se passe loin, là-bas. Le plus important, c'est de ne pas être touché directement ». « Il ne souhaite pas la défaite ». « Sinon », dit-il, « ce sera la guerre civile ». Le Point a aussi rencontré Laura, une couturière à la retraite, qui « ne veut plus rien entendre au sujet de l'opération spéciale ». « Il y a un an, trois mois après avoir été mobilisé, son petit-fils de 18 ans est mort en Ukraine. Il repose « en héros », au cimetière ». « Laura n'en dira pas plus », conclut le Point.Personne ne viendra nous sauverDirection les États-Unis où « la résistance s'organise ». C'est en tout cas ce que croit savoir le Nouvel Obs, il est allé à la rencontre des membres du collectif Indivisibles, qui mènent la révolte contre Donald Trump. Comme Mary Ann, qui, nous dit-on, « a hissé, sur sa pelouse tondue de près, un drapeau américain à l'envers. Un SOS angoissé, signe d'un pays en détresse. Quelques semaines plus tard, elle a planté un petit panneau qui invite à l'action en lettres blanches : march, protest, strike, vote », poursuit le Nouvel Obs, qui est aussi allé à un meeting des Indivisibles. L'un des co-fondateurs du mouvement, Ezra Levin, s'exclame face au public: « La peur est contagieuse, mais le courage aussi ! Personne ne viendra nous sauver. Les luttes historiques contre les autoritarismes nous apprennent que le succès dépend d'une opposition persistante, courageuse, large et unifiée ». Et puis il y a Bernie Sanders, l'ex-candidat à l'élection présidentielle, « l'apport du sénateur de 83 ans à la résistance est capital », estime le Nouvel Obs. « Lui qui n'appartient à aucun parti est devenu l'improbable visage de l'opposition à Trump. Partout le vieux routier de la gauche attire les foules ». « Il faut rallier les classes populaires, Bernie Sanders l'a compris très tôt ». Il va vers « une Amérique populaire, en miroir de celle de Trump, cherchant elle aussi à exprimer sa colère ».De Gaza au sud de la FranceEnfin, M, le supplément du Monde nous emmène à la rencontre d'une famille palestinienne réfugiée en France. Ils sont sortis de l'enfer de Gaza, toute la famille d'Husam Al Najar, les parents et les cinq enfants, « âgés de 4 à 20 ans ». Ils vivent désormais dans le Gard, dans le sud de la France, « dans un hameau à 600 mètres d'altitude ». Un havre de paix, avec « ses paysages verdoyants à perte de vue ». Pour la photo, la famille pose devant une maison aux tuiles roses. Mais Husam Al Najar « a le vertige ». « Il ne s'éternise pas et préfère retourner dans le salon », raconte M. « Je n'arrive pas à rester dehors », dit-il. « J'ai besoin de me sentir entre des murs solides ». S'ils sont tous en France aujourd'hui, précise le magazine, c'est « grâce à une chercheuse du CNRS qui a œuvré sans relâche pour qu'Husam Al-Najar, docteur en ingénierie de l'environnement, puisse bénéficier d'un programme national d'aide aux scientifiques en exil ». Ils sont arrivés fin avril et sont bien décidés à s'intégrer en France. Diana Al-Najar, « la mère de famille, veut apprendre le français au plus vite et passer le permis de conduire. Nour 18 ans et Aya 16 ans, échangent déjà quelques paroles dans un français impeccable », raconte M. Pour cette famille, « arrivée, avec pour tout bagage un téléphone portable », c'est le début d'une nouvelle vie.

This week, Bill and Phil discuss how to know when our democracy has failed, then talk with Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin about what we can be doing today to push back against Trump's attacks on democracy.

Protest is the new brunch again. We're witnessing historic levels of pro-democracy grassroots engagement across a broad-based movement of everyday people. The leaders of Indivisible join Tim to discuss how the movement needs to stay focused on what it agrees on— no kings—and to save ideological disputes for another day. Plus, it also needs to get more young people involved. But it definitely should keep ignoring political consultants who tell Dems not to talk about immigration— because it turns out that the federal government kidnapping people off the street is not popular. Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg join Tim Miller. show notes Indivisible's "No Kings" protest day

Tonight on The Last Word: Democrats hold town halls in swing districts. Also, voters pack “empty chair” town halls to voice their anger when GOP Congress members skip out. Plus, Donald Trump escalates his fight with the federal courts. And USAID cuts cause more disease and starvation in Africa. Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Dave Min, Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski, Ezra Levin, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, and Nicholas Kristof join Ali Velshi.

Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins to discuss the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Then, Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, examines the direction and leadership of the Democratic Party. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the shuttering of USAID, Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations, Israel's revamped assault on Gaza, the DOJ's refusal to answer for its illegal deportations, Trump's killing of FTC operations, the gutting of the SSA, the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, Trump's attempt to re-segregate, the Fed not to cut rates, the release of the JFK Files, GOP Sen. Eichorn's confirmation of pedocon theory, and HHS's gutting of HIV prevention, also highlighting Schumer's ongoing shame tour and the ongoing backlash the GOP's facing at their town halls. Ben Wikler then joins, diving right into the story of Wisconsin politics during the 2010s – and what it can foretell about this moment for our country – with a GOP trifecta coming into 2011 and using a supposed budget crisis to legitimize a complete crippling of the opposition as well as the progressive and worker movements, unleashing extensively gerrymandered maps, engaging in blatantly discriminatory voter suppression, and explicitly targeting language around progressive issues (e.g. banning the term “climate change”). After diving deep into the particular role the Conservative majority on the State Supreme Court played in bolstering the unparalleled executive power of Governor Scott Walker, and how a revamped focus on the Court helped begin the Democrats' slow crawl back into control, Wikler zeroes in on the ongoing State Supreme Court race between Brad Schimel – dedicated MAGA-Musker – and Susan Crawford, exploring the insane multi-million dollar investment into Schimel by Elon Musk, including blatantly illegal propaganda misrepresenting both his own organization and the candidates, wrapping up by emphasizing the importance of tying the entire conservative movement to the MAGA/Musk agenda they support, and exploring what those of us on the outside can do to help. Ezra Levin then joins, first running through the inception of Indivisible in the wake of the 2016 elections to combat the heinous agenda of Donald Trump and address the vacuum in Democratic leadership, before diving deep into the culmination of this effort, with last week's failure by Democratic Leadership in the Senate to stand up against the Trump/Musk budget seeing an unprecedented level of backlash, with their caucus, House Leadership, and the mainstream media all leveling blunt questions of Chuck Schumer. Levin, Sam, and Emma parse through a few of Schumer's recent TV appearances, as they dissect his utter strategic failures in using leverage in their fight with the GOP or in working with fellow Democrats, before wrapping up by tackling the future of this fight as Democrats look to find other pathways for messaging, and what those of us at home can do to help Indivisible's fight. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chuck Schumer get slammed by Chris Hayes in the wake of his humiliating capitulation to Trump and the GOP, listen to Elon Musk's plea to empathize with the automotive class, and unpack Tim Pool's attempt to revamp his relevancy on the coattails of Sam's Jubilee video. Tonya from Washington has some film comparisons for the modern-day conservative movement, and another caller has a thought experiment, plus, your calls and IMs!

We open the show with a piece from Christopher Rufo, adding credence to the theory I talked about yesterday, about intentionally seeding the Federal government with people who are mentally unwell. General Flynn revealed that whistleblowers are coming out of the wood-work and criminality is going to be highlighted very soon, starting with former FBI Director James Comey. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) wanted to know if USAID money went to any other terrorist organizations besides the Taliban. Turns out we have funded dozens of them. When asked about safeguards, you will shocked to hear, as one example, how we funneled $2.1 billion to Hamas since October 7, 2023. We should not be surprised, given the corruption inside USAID. In fact, Sharyl Attkisson gives us a soundbite where she has been reporting about such corruption for many years. As further example, seems there has been over $160 million USAID dollars that have been funneled into an NGO, benefiting Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). Even worse, it seems Rep. Hakeem Jeffries's (D-NY) campaign may have Smurfed his supporters to the tune of over $1.1 million dollars. And we have discovered more USAID funds flowing to Norm Eisen's own daughter's 501(c)4, Tamar Eisen. The good news is Chief Justice Roberts has put a stop to the activist lower court judges, allowing President Trump to continue his pause on money flowing out of USAID. We discussed the astroturfing PsyOp used to create the fake narrative that MAGA voters are now suffering from buyers remorse. This was tried on Speaker Mike Johnson, who blew it out of the water. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has announced the creation of a new site to register illegal aliens. Those who self-register will get the aid of the US government in sending them back home, where they can then apply to return legally. And speaking of the border, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reminds us of the big lie both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were selling about not being able to secure it. As we wrap up, we introduce you to Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin who are funding the agitators to infiltrate GOP town halls and flood their phone lines. And, to once again prove how the Left uses such operations, we show you a panel discussion on MSNBC. Don't believe the manure they are shoveling.

It's been now about 24 hours since the presidency changed hands. And I wanted to find out how you both are doing and what sort of jumped out to you now about this moment 24 hours in.Ezra, I'll start with you for that one.Ezra Levin: Well, a lot of what we've seen over the last 24 hours is what we predicted Trump would do. He is moving forward with a deeply unpopular agenda that he did his best to distance himself from throughout all of last year.He swore up and down that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, and that he was going to go in a different direction, and lo and behold, that wasn't the case.Immediately upon taking office, he takes some of the most egregious actions that were thought up in that terrifying plan, and he's putting them into the world now. He is using the power of the presidency to pursue that agenda.I think the real question for all of us now is, how does America respond? How do people respond? But he is doing exactly what we thought he would do.Yeah. And Anand, what about you? What jumps out at you now 24 hours in, and how are you feeling about what's happening?Anand Giridharadas: Well, yesterday was the inauguration, and I woke up today, and it was 10 degrees in New York, 22 below freezing, so thanks, Trump.It does feel like a chill has come to this country. And I know a lot of people who didn't watch yesterday, and I can understand that the brain is an important organ to maintain the health and wellness of. But I did watch, even got, you know, my nine-year-old son to watch, even though he wanted to keep going to play. And I said it was important to watch this, to understand the context of what's going to unfold.

During Bernie's speech in Washington yesterday he defined democratic socialism as: "Requiring and achieving political and economic freedom in every community in this country." He also proposed a 21st century economic bill of rights -- for comment we turn to Harold Meyerson.

Ezra Levin of the Indivisibles, explains.

Rebecca Vallas looks back over 2017 with Ezra Levin, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible.

A year ago, we were all looking ahead to 2017 wondering what the new world order was going to look like under a Trump presidency, and with the GOP firmly in control of both chambers of Congress. Now, after a whirlwind year of ups, downs, and words we can't say on radio, 2017 is drawing to a close – and for many of us, not a moment too soon. So this week, Off-Kilter's taking a moment to look back on the year in review. First, Rebecca speaks with Neera Tanden, President of the Center for American Progress, about what she's learned as we look ahead to 2018. Next, she talks with Ezra Levin, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, as the movement spurred by a humble google doc commemorates its one year anniversary. And finally, with the DREAM Act in limbo amid Congress's end of year funding debate, Rebecca's joined by Tom Jawetz, CAP's immigration guru, about what's at stake for the tens of thousands of immigrants whose futures hang in the balance.

This week, we brought Off-Kilter to Atlanta for the 2017 Netroots Nation, a yearly conference of progressive bloggers and activists. Listeners need no introduction for our first guest, Randy Bryce, who is running to unseat Speaker Paul Ryan in Congress. What's so exciting about Bryce's campaign, apart from the opportunity to replace a far-right extremist with a solid progressive, is seeing a working guys' guy go from obscurity to stardom for all the right reasons. Later in the show, Rebecca speaks with Ezra Levin, co-Executive Director of Indivisible, about how we can win on the next fight post healthcare: tax and budget. And last, but certainly not least, Rebecca sits down with a group of bad-ass disabled activists who explain how disability can save the progressive movement.

Does another government shutdown loom ahead? Harry Stein, the Center for American Progress's budget guru, joins Rebecca and The Slevs to share the skinny on tax reform, budget fights, and the possibility of yet another government shutdown. Next, Dylan Matthews of Vox unpacks why it's such a big deal that Sesame Street now has an autistic character. And finally, as part of our #ResistanceWorks series, Ezra Levin of Indivisible talks about what's behind the Tax March and what's on deck for the resistance.

To kick off the inaugural episode, host Rebecca Vallas is joined by Sarah Jaffe, author of Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt, which examines resistance movements in the U.S. and how they have the power to reshape American politics. Next, Ezra Levin of Indivisible talks about what's next for the movement that's responsible for some spirited town halls this week. And Dorian Warren of Center for Community Change Action joins to unpack Trump's attacks on immigrants and how they fit in with a broader divide-and-conquer strategy. But first, Jeremy Slevin breaks down this week's biggest news.
