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.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Over 100 people showed up to demand answers from their GOP representative on why he wants to slash Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks. Let’s continue turning up the pressure on Republicans like Tom McClintock who keep avoiding their constituents.

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

Congratulations to @flashes.blue for their official launch on the App Store 🎉🎉🎉 It’s an instagram alternative built on the AT protocol 🙌 all the visual scrolling with none of the Meta algorithm

Happy Public Schools Week! As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - they’re the center of our communities. That’s why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. 💕⭐️

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 A perfect example of the justice system working for the American people! apnews.com/article/dei-...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

200+ children in Georgia are killed every year. It doesn’t matter if you're a Republican, Democrat, gun owner, or not, we need to come together and find a solution to this. www.11alive.com/article/news...

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

Abortion bans kill women.

Of course it’s a woman…

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

Appearing today in The Week:

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Need some positive news this week? In the year since Michigan enacted its Extreme Risk law, courts issued 300 orders temporarily limiting gun access from people deemed to be a threat to themselves or others, allowing people in crisis the chance to seek help and preventing countless tragedies.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

An entire government built on the premise of owning the libs. Revolting.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

So incredibly heartened by my colleagues who are fighting like hell for a world where people have access to the arts and humanities, not because it serves STEM, but because this is about nourishing our humanity

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.
