The Wash Post under covered the Hands Off rallies with 2 local reporters’ story at 2:30 pm day of the protest. So sad and out of touch. #handsoff

Make 5calls to Congress to rescind Musk’s cuts to libraries, museums.

📣 Feeling energized by the #HandsOff protests? Looking for a way to take action? 🚨 Help #NorthCarolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs stop Republicans from stealing her seat RIGHT NOW! secure.actblue.com/donate/state...

Appeals court hands win to Republican state Supreme Court candidate

Some judges are telling the fElon #HandsOff too. Almost 350 of them. They’ve signed an amicus brief backing the Perkins Coie law firm in its suit against the Trump regime. Another brief signed by more than 300 law firms is expected. #HandsOff the rule of law! archive.ph/2025.04.04-1...

Wow, We the People turned out! How many does it take to evict the nazi regime from a white house?

Major anti-Trump "Hands Off" protests erupt across Europe

🚨BREAKING: The North Carolina appeals court ruled Friday to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state’s Supreme Court election unless they can fix their ballots in 15 days. Democratic Justice Allison Riggs joins me to discuss. youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

"Trump is trying to take everything I've worked for most of my working life, and that will not be tolerated," says Jean, a retiree I met at today's #handsoff protest in Princeton.

NBC Nightly News spent seconds covering today’s protests, did not mention protests in Europe. Predictable.

Protesters targeted Trump and Musk over federal layoffs, immigration crackdowns, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine and Gaza, among other issues.

Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We will not sit by while Donald Trump and his billionaire friends dismantle the protections that our families count on. Thank you to the thousands of people who came out today to tell this administration #HandsOffBoston!

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the country to protest President Trump and a wide range of his administration’s actions, including government downsizing, attacks on the rights of immigrants and transgender people, and tariffs that are roiling economies across the globe.

At the #HandsOff protest at Bryant Park in NYC. There are too many people to count… and also bagpipes.

Thousands showed up in Augusta today to say #handsoff !!!

In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.

🚨🚨NORTH CAROLINA🚨🚨 It's very important that you look at this list and see if you are on it. They Jefferson Griffin is trying to steal your vote. Don't let him. #SheShed #MomSky #Voices4Victory

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

Indivisible, MoveOn, the ACLU, and other major pro-democracy orgs are directly sponsoring or endorsing these protests. You don't have to register and shouldn't. Just go! There's NO reason to heed anyone trying to convince you today's protests represent some sort of fascist policing honeypot. 1/2

Hello from Washington DC, where people are assembling for what promises to be a very large protest This video does not show the protest. This video shows people walking to the protest 🧵

The only thing stupider than this government is the concern about offending the morons that voted in this regime.

Welp, that escalated quickly. Just more than an hour into trading today and #TrumpTariffs have forced the market below 40,000. Biden left it at almost 45,000. That is a massive drop in just over two months. #Trumponomics #TrumpCrash #Trumpcession

Trump Assures Wall Street He’ll Go Back To Just Fucking Over Poor People Soon http://theonion.com/...

Wait! Didn’t IT get reelected bc folks worried about hi prices? If his voters stick with IT now, we know they really supported IT’s racism.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

For all who are afraid to “poke the bear”, fear not. The bear is mauling everything you hold dear.

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

JUST IN: The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave this morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations. That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group. This is corruption of the highest degree.

Looking for corporate media coverage of the @booker.senate.gov filibuster and finding NONE. Currently live on CSPAN2 and YouTube.

Sen Tillis, who enabled the Jan 6 mob that actually threatened the lives of him, his staff and other Senators, the VP, police, is crying about threatening voicemails. Represent us! Stop kissing up to tyrannical idiots! www.citizen-times.com/story/news/l...
