New: Elite Universities Form Private Collective to Resist Trump Administration Separate from the public dissent, a group of school leaders are strategizing behind the scenes about how to respond and push back against the White House @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Seriously! Why is David Hogg at the DNC? And don’t come at me with ā€œineffective Democrats should be primariedā€ā€”I agree with that. You can look at my feed and see it for yourself. What I’m asking isn’t about that. My question is: why is he doing this as a sitting Vice Chair of the DNC? 🧵

To be honest, when they're in season, every day is #TulipTuesday šŸŒ±šŸŒ·šŸ“· #Bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #Tulips

Not great.

NEW: A coalition of students from more than 15 law schools across the country have signed a pledge not to work for any firm that ā€œgives in to Trump administration demandsā€¦ā€ Signatories include students from Harvard, Georgetown, University of Chicago, UT-Austin… docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

They want you to think boycotts and protests don’t work. 71% drop in income says otherwise. Keep going.

Newsom getting dunked to hell by a guy who even serious politics knowers had in the ā€œwho?ā€ category until last week, you love to see it

Pushback works

Fort Worth Texas showed up today!!!

This week was definitive proof that pushback works, just like it did during the first trump administration. You may think ā€œresistanceā€ is cringe but it WORKED.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

See you out there today! And remember, if you see something, say something. If you catch video of any incidents, please email it to [email protected]. Our team, working alongside local law enforcement, has already helped lead to 18 arrests. Stay safe, have fun, and go make some good trouble today!

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Deep respect to Sen. Tammy Duckworth for saying what too many won’t: Republicans have shown ZERO resistance to Trump & Musk’s brutal agenda—jacking up costs, firing thousands of veterans, and threatening to gut Medicaid & Social Security. If they cared, they’d grow a spine. @duckworth.senate.gov

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

Thank you, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, for making the trip, persisting and confirming the welfare of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in person.

Jamelle Bouie draws a blistering historical parallel: the illegal deportation of Kilmar Abrego GarcĆ­a mirrors the antebellum-era kidnapping of free Black Americans. Then, as now, legality offered no protection if white power deemed someone ānonperson.āž ⤵

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

California farmers help feed the nation and the world. I’m committed to being their champion.

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 šŸ’œ

I'm so incredibly proud of my Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov and grateful for his courage, dedication, and patriotism in standing up for truth and justice. THAT'S the US I'm proud of! We are ALL Kilmar Abrego GarcĆ­a. We're ALL deserve due process!

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Do not look away. This is America today. www.youtube.com/live/fxrSU-l...

Liz Oyer, a pardon attorney at the Justice Department, was fired because she opposed restoring domestic abuser Mel Gibson’s gun rights. DOJ sent armed U.S. Marshals to her home Friday to intimidate her not to testify. They failed.

Now there's a protest sign you don't see often.

🚨 ā€œTeachers are PISSEDā€ —Randi Weingarten, AFT President joins us IN-STUDIO and speaks out about the dismantling of the Department of Education—it gets emotional for all of us. Plus, our EXCLUSIVE ā€˜Hands Off’ footage from Portland & Seattle. WATCH NOW: youtu.be/TJVcYvVBI1E?...

WOW. Dismantling the Department of Education will have GENERATIONAL impacts on our kids and workforce. Repost if you stand with TEACHERS and STUDENTS! #HandsOffEducation

Love seeing all the people who care. Big cities are amazing, but this bravery is what makes my heart burst.

Spread the word, far and wideā€¦šŸ‘‡ Enjoy. šŸ˜Ž And. We’re. Just. Getting. Started. ✨

What a day. What a country! šŸ’Ŗ

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Dear white folks.. you may feel a way about it but uh yall might have to keep the protests Because if they don’t send cops to yours? this is a great way to build momentum

#GVerse Portland, Oregon Resists! #HandsOff!

#HANDSOFF #NYC

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

Massive crowd at Boston’s city hall plaza for the #HandsOff protest against Trump and Musk
