You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

Can confirm, as @ByJackHarris reported, that ICE agents attempted to access Dodger Stadium this morning but were denied by the Dodgers. Images had circulated this morning of agents appearing to use the parking lots as a staging area.

No Kings Day is here. Today is going to be one of the biggest and most widespread days of peaceful protest in American history, with millions of Americans taking to the streets in every state.

Obama is the best of ‘em!

This is Trump’s America. Minnesota Dems State Senator John Hoffman, his wife, and State Representative Melissa Hortman have been shot by an individual posing as a law enforcement officer. Gov. Walz has said the shootings were targeted. How long before other Dems and immigrants start to get shot?

As our grassroots campaign continues to surge, I am so proud to receive the support of Public Advocate @jumaane.bsky.social. A fairer, more affordable New York has been Jumaane’s fight for years, and as this race heads into the final weeks, I’m honored to have him by my side.

PORTNOY: “I’m down $7 Million today… Trump has put his tariffs all over the place… I’ve been trying to understand them - I don’t. And everything is in the shitter because of it.”

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.

“democrats show a pulse” they only lost the 2024 presidential popular vote by 1.5 points! they increased their house seat share vs the previous cycle! they have more state lege trifectas than 2022! what are we doing here!

might as well cut the 2026 ads now about how every Republican member of Congress gave their total and unreserved backing to the Trump tariffs.

Susan Collins trying to have it both ways here. But critical point, EVERY House GOP but one voted in the "CR" to further tie their own hands to prevent themselves from getting in Trump's way when he started Tariffgeddon

Name yr least favorite House GOPer from an under R-10 district and they voted to make it harder for the House to stop Trump's tariff Heaven's Gate. It was in the CR! Impeachment Mike Lawler. Every member of the NY delegation. All the ones in CA. and under R-10 includes a lot. They all voted for it.

I'm a big fan of crowdsourced google docs to organize opposition to authoritarianism. This is a good one.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Trump did this MAGA will blame anybody but him 🙄

I have a suggestion for @ezralevin.bsky.social & @indivisible.org I get the calls for Schumer to step down as Leader but I think a really good idea would be to put resources into forcing Dick Durbin to retire. Hear me out, I have a few reasons why in thread below.

If you're unconvinced by Schimel's words given his actions, other words, and entire career, help us elect Susan Crawford

Don't let the world's richest man buy a state Supreme Court to turn it into a rubber stamp for a would-be dictator.

You might ask: how is it possible that Republicans are just rolling over and accepting this? The answer is that they're terrified of crossing Elon Musk. They think he can kill them in primaries and protect them in general elections. Beat Brad Schimel in Wisconsin on 4/1, and that starts changing.

This is the door hanger that Musk's PAC is distributing across Wisconsin. They're targeting Republican households. They must hope it isn't seen by Dems, or anyone who thinks judges shouldn't "keep Trump's agenda moving forward" when Trump breaks the law. Repost if you agree.
