@indivisiblemontmd.bsky.social are there any rallies planned for April 19 in Montgomery County?

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social highlights the common ground that can be found with liberals, conservatives, and libertarians, around the Trump administration’s lack of constraint.

Contact your senators and request that they vote against the SAVE Act.

Insider trading much?

No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

LIVE: Fox presenters’ souls leave their body as they’re forced to finally tell the truth about tariffs. Here, the story a small business making products for kids with special needs. Its tariff bill has gone from $26,000 to $346,000. Fatal. A fate Fox deserves for months of tariff disinformation.

While looking damn good in it!

Who doesn't want cancer research to continue? The Project 2025 folks.

Not great. A telling indicator of the broader fallout

Journalists: you cannot deport U.S. citizens out of their own country. Do not simply regurgitate the words of the administration if those words are inaccurate. To do so is spreading disinformation. Deportation, according to the govt itself, is for people with no legal right to be here.

This is what the so-called war on “woke” was always about it, convincing people that what happens to the marginalized can’t happen to them. It can, it will. First, challenge citizenship by birth. Then, unconstitutionally expel citizens from their own country. “Deport” is the incorrect word, btw.

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

#HandsOffProtests

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ex-husband Perry Greene made racist comments from his Tesla Cybertruck to young Muslim women at the Avalon Mall in Alpharetta. Perry later met with them at their mosque and publicly apologized.

Thanks for sharing, Aline!

Top 5 signs @jamieraskin saw in DC today: 1. “Elon Musk is the only undocumented immigrant taking your job” 2. “Neuter your Doge” 3. “Donald Trump, Russian-Owned since 1987” 4. “The Emperor has no clothes and it ain’t pretty” 5. “Buy America: Putin did”

Ahem

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers. What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions. It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.
