Oppose I.C.E. abusing their power. They are the front line of this fascist regime. Do not allow your community to be terrorized. Help the human beings they are preying upon. Demand adherence to the Law. Expose cosplaying thugs. Record and post everything. Stand together.

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

Dear god let this man cook.

The JUDGES Act (H.R.1702) would let Donald Trump appoint 22 more loyalist judges who will greenlight his corrupt agenda. Join me and @standupamerica.com in urging lawmakers to block this dangerous bill: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

We are witnessing our government institutions — whose independence is vital for the fair functioning of our legal system — being compromised and their integrity undercut in real time. This is how tyrants undermine democracy.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

This is a pretty extraordinary thing -- not sure I've seen or heard of anything like this before. It's tomorrow/Tuesday morning -- noon eastern, 9am pacific: speakupforjustice.law

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Inspiring clip from Representative Brendan Boyle at Philadelphia HANDS OFF. Thanks to Barbara L. of Yardley Indivisible for the video.

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Bravo @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social 👏👏👏👏

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Thank you Senator @corybooker.com! That’s the post…

Sen @booker.senate.gov is still going. Support him! WATCH! Call your Senator & tell them you agree with Booker. This has gone far enough. 202-224-3121 www.senate.gov/legislative/...

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

BREAKING: Free speech is going so well in the US that they are now monitoring social media to ensure you are not expressing opinions the government disapproves of x

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

We just want to say—we love all of you and are proud to call you our friends! Our coalition members have met so many incredible people while organizing and joining events. The media might not cover everything, but America is fighting back.

Activism is no longer optional for good humans in America and here’s why: People are disappearing… today… right now. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/heres-why-...

Early voting today in Wisconsin

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
