“If you are watching this right now and you’re thinking I don’t want a king in this county, good news: Neither do we. And you can be part of this.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social We’re mobilizing nationwide on June 14 to say No Kings. Find an event near you or start one: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

For the next 2 weeks, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking for everyone to call their members of Congress about the cuts to and political interference at NIH by the Trump White House. 1/ 5calls.org/issue/nation...

Folks this is the last 20 hours or so we have for signups for Operation Anti-King. We need volunteers. I just want to let people know exactly what how it works and why you should sign up. The base ask is sending a pre-written email at a scheduled time. That's it!

Here's the entirety of today's #HandsOff march down Broadway in San Diego — 98 minutes compressed to a little over 2 minutes. Stop video at any time to view signs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltut... Story to come on Times of San Diego. @maddow.msnbc.com Marchers per minute = about 20,000.

I'm planning to bring these flyers to the @moveon.org @indivisible.org "Hands Off" rally in San Diego tomorrow (@sdindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible49.com). The idea is to make it super easy to 1. Contact the SD Union-Tribune 2. Email Congress with the hope of amplifying the impact of the day.

We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people. Stay tuned for more.

Can confirm these numbers, this is hilarious

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Tagging a few other smart people. Is there any value in this strategy? @daveweigel.bsky.social @joshtpm.bsky.social @joekatz45.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Curious to hear from some of the larger @indivisible.org chapters! @njindivisible.bsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Tagging a few people/orgs I’d be interested to hear from! Would this be an effective way to raise awareness locally? @senategabe.bsky.social @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social @jonfavs.bsky.social @thebulwark.bsky.social @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @moveon.org

Any media/comms people out there I can bounce an idea off of? For the upcoming @indivisible.org rally on April 5th, I'm considering posters with QR codes that will auto populate emails to the local rep(s) saying "I stepped up at this rally and I expect you to step up, too"...

Wow. @corybooker.com. 👏👏 If he can do more than 24 hours in protest, we can show up to continue the movement. Please join us this Saturday to make your voices heard. mobilize.us/s/XtYGTs

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cory Booker breaks the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond.

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

The #1 topic for calls to my office today? Cory Booker’s floor speech. So yeah… I’d say people are listening to him.
