250th anniversary of the battles at Lexington and Concord: rally for No Kings! Protect Our Public Lands! Rehire Our Public Servants! Minute Man National Historical Park, April 19, link at: www.mobilize.us/indivisible-... Great group @ teach-in last weekend: www.instagram.com/reel/DHh41k3...

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Incredible turnout at the #HandsOff rally in Boston

This is how we do it!

#teslaTakedown

Tens of thousands of Bostonians tell the regime to keep its tiny hands off pretty much everything www.universalhub.com/2025/tens-th...

#Boston #HandsOff Protest definitely showed up today! More pics & videos on my Facebook, though not as many as usual bcuz I was volunteering. Such a wicked awesome rally inclusive of everyone! A little rain didn't keep the crowds away and nothing will stop this revolution! #FDT #NFK

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

London is awesome

Let’s be clear: Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal department created by Congress. So this GOP attack on public education will have to end with Congress — and that means we need to maximize pressure on Congress to ensure the Department of Education outlasts the Trump Administration.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

"'The dumbest trade war in history' is how the Wall Street Journal described Trump’s initial tariff forays against Canada and Mexico. Later, after Canada retaliated, the Journal’s editorial board said it was 'being kind' in that earlier description..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

America will be Trump's 7th bankruptcy and he will blame Joe Biden.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it. The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

Did you hear that the much trumpeted mission to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay has completely failed and ended? Nah...they don't want you to know they burned over $16M for 290 people. But they got the pictures! Really. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

House Democratic leaders Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar torch the GOP funding bill after Chuck Schumer declares he won’t block it: “House Democrats will not be complicit. We remain strongly opposed to the partisan spending bill under consideration in the

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Unreal. I love this movement! #teslatakedown www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2qCnEQy/

As we said last fall, if the Project 2025 plan to shut the Department of Ed is implemented, so goes the office conducting the campus antisemitism investigations. Half the staff doing that work now gone. jewishinsider.com/2025/03/educ...

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

The government runs out of money tomorrow at midnight. Let me explain how we got here. Part one:

We have to vote to keep the government open so they can continue dismantling it is not the argument you think it is.

Hey Senator Schumer we have NO government! We know it! Why don’t you? Vote NO!

NEW: A federal judge — Trump appointee Dabney Friedrich — became the first to reject efforts by DOJ to expand the reach of Trump’s Jan. 6 pardon to cover crimes that had nothing to do with the Capitol attack w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...” "Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
