The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Why isn’t Legacy media reporting on this? @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

May Day protest in the little town of Old Fort NC in the very red county just east of Asheville. About 40 of us were at the Arrowhead by the historic depot. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

#MayDay

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations? On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. đź§µ

Help Defeat Misinformation! A Truth Bomb is a specialized meme that highlights Trump's failures in a way that can't be twisted into misinformation. Civic Sundays trains activists by zoom to make and disseminate them. May 2, 2pm PST. www.mobilize.us/civicsundays... @rhutabhayga.bsky.social

We all want our neighborhoods safe from toxic chemicals and natural disasters. So why is the White House dismantling programs that protect us, and spending tax dollars on fossil fuel production and pollution? The math just doesn't add up. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/Pc4CrSHe

We’re only human! It’s really hard not to argue against inflammatory and outrageous claims. Ask yourself first: is the point to get me to react negatively, or to act positively? Don’t take the bait – stay calm and share truths. #TruthBrigade

Drowning in a sea of digital noise? Wonder why? It’s no accident. Our attention is hacked by Big Tech and exploited by the White House. Profit drives stunts that cost us our mental health and our democracy. Let’s uplift truth, not feed outrage. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/UlpY0287

I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Yes!

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Gasparino's been right a lot and wrong a lot, but if he's right, he's unwittingly saying that the White House leaks information to friendly investors who can front-run the markets

Happy Earth Day! đź’š

We must continue to resist!

Thank you to everyone that came out today! We will not be silent in a constitutional crisis and we will continue to say HANDS OFF! Thank you to Bill Lovejoy for the photos @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com #resist #democracy #standupforourrights

My price for eggs is $7.99 a dozen unless I ride out to a local egg ranch that sells them for $4.50 a dozen.

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force. Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

This is the kind of shit I want to see from every single Democrat

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

We’re not living through a “wow this is a bad administration” moment. It’s a “there may not be another administration” moment. It’s not just politics.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Please see. And speak out.

#ProudBlue #MomSky I’m so glad they are doing this. I’ve heard it’s Van Hollen, Booker, Frost & Garcia heading there tomorrow. We are sending love, strength & protection for them. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
