At whose expense? At the people’s expense. Thieves. All of them. Now we know why he’s doing it. #resist Bring your signs, your voice, and your power of the people to a rally on April 19th!

"If the government can disappear any people it wishes, dump them in a Salvadoran dungeon and prevent any court in this country from providing relief, we all should be very, very afraid."

Fascists want normal people to feel alone. They want us all to feel at their mercy. But what #handsoff demonstrated is that we are not mere victims of political events. Democracy is a participatory sport, and we are active participants.

Cultists gotta Cult 🤦

They say people vote their pocketbooks. Given the tariffs and the stock market decline, would Americans vote differently today than they did on November 5? I wouldn’t, but I didn’t vote for the felon ever.

#HandsOffProtests

So this happened yesterday and at a gazillion other locations. From small towns to big cities. And somehow I hear it was not the cover story of the New York Times?

Amazing day of protests across America as millions showed up in over 1,300 cities and towns. So many amazing signs it was hard to choose, but these were my favorite 15. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

✊️✊️✊️

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff

But I am, we told you so.

Too many members of Congress keep failing us. This isn’t just about bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and fighting back with every tool we’ve got: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

I came across this article from 2012. Remind you of anyone? #resist www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/spyc...

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Many law firms representing federal employees have come under attack. The legal community is pushing back. More than 4,000 legal professionals have signed an open letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concern over the administration’s actions against law firms.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act. It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.
