How are you all coping with the state of affairs? Do you limit news intake or social media? I grew up in a religious cult and the past 75 days have brought me to a place mentally/physically from which I've spent years healing. #narcissistabuse #religiouscult #healing #trauma #selfcare

My 401 is not okay!!

Hands off Lancaster, PA!! Over 2,000 in attendance! #handsoff #handsofflancaster #protest #resist @altnps.bsky.social

Hands Off Lancaster, PA by @lancasterstandsup.bsky.social #handsofflancaster #handsoff #protest

#handsoff Topeka KS

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

Protest video shared with me from Massena, New York, a rural town on the Canadian border of ~12k people. Estimated 250+ in attendance. Amazing.

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

My art ability may be lacking, but my resistance is strong! #handsoff #resist #protest

Progress not perfection. #usfsa #adultsskatetoo

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

600 people showed up for the #TeslaTakedown rally in Boston,MA. Biggest crowd yet.

Dear Greenland and Denmark, I'm so sorry and so very embarrassed by this pathetic administration that has no sense of decency. Danish and Greenlandic officials, backed by the EU, have insisted that the US will not obtain Greenland. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

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.

Musk is holding a rally in Green Bay as part of his ongoing attempt to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In response, grassroots groups and community members will gather to protest and send a clear message: our democracy is not for sale.

You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

Celebrating with emojis in a group chat with a random journalist as they unlawfully authorize military actions. The disregard for human life & national security is beyond the pale. Everyone involved should be investigated by Congress & Pete Hegseth must resign. youtube.com/shorts/z2RmO...

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

Oh, perfect. Trump has put Musk and his staffers in charge of investigating how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in the Signal chat. I’m sure we can all expect a thorough, unbiased report any day now (Sarcasm).

🚨 BREAKING Democrat Dan Goughnour wins a special election for the Pennsylvania State House, breaking a 101-101 tie and securing Democratic control of the chamber.

Since the leaked information has been deemed unclassified, as stated by Trump, we respectfully request that the reporter release the full contents of the chat so the American people can decide for themselves.

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

Another disgusting part of all of this is the proof a blatant war crime to which the Vice President of the United States responded: Excellent.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

Way to go, PA! Congrats! 🇺🇸

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat James Malone DEFEATS Republican County Commissioner Josh Parsons in the special election for Pennsylvania SD-36 — FLIPPING a district Trump carried by 15.4% in the 2024 election. A huge upset victory for the Democrats.

James Malone wins 36th district in Pennsylvania for state senate!! This is a major victory-the seat has been flipped after half a century of being red. Every action matters!! thehill.com/homenews/cam...

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein
