The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

Imagine being so brainwashed in reactionary centrism you don't know our next election - IF there is one - is 18 months away. Imagine not realizing that come election, markets, wallets, investments will still be trashed. Imagine believing humans shipped to concentration camps isn't worth raising.

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Welp, this speaks for itself

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Fascism and the English Language: As the MAGA regime’s ongoing assault on our lives and our loved ones ramps up, many of us feel tongue-tied - at a loss for the words to express what is happening, let alone marshal resistance to it.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

“The old American order is dead. It ended on April 14, 2025, when a Latin American strongman sat in the Oval Office and discussed sending U.S. citizens to foreign concentration camps with the American president while they jointly defied the Supreme Court.” @jvl.bsky.social

Mark Twain on ‘idiot’ politicians and our current predicament www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Man, our institutions need to form an "alert circle"

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Rising number of statements from congressional Democrats to Kilmar Abrego Garcia case Rep Maxwell Frost (D-FL): “This is government-funded kidnapping, plain and simple. No one is safe in Trump’s America; let that sink in”

Watch a major campaign being born.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

It’s about effing time you all woke up. Now do more than introduce PR bills. Go there. Bring press. Live stream it.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, Khanna, and Frost rising to the occasion.

They are obviously slow learners

My latest: This Jimmy Kimmel Graphic Hasn’t Gone Viral Yet, But it Should: Economic data can be best shown in charts, though it’s rare for those charts to become graphics for late night comedy shows…

My view on tyranny and petty tyrants.⬇️

Facts.

First of all, they're "Trump tariffs" any and every time you mention them. Second, they need to be described within the context of the whole agenda, the efforts by this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires, to abuse and bankrupt anyone who is not them.

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

Sen. Brian Schatz has placed holds on over 300 Trump nominees, jamming up their nominations. His new holds span nominees at more than a dozen agencies and include every single State Department nominee.

We’re launching a new DNC War Room. We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day. At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country. He can’t go unchallenged.

Protesting is a fundamental right, but safety is crucial. This thread covers essential precautions to protect yourself and others during demonstrations. We will continue to update and expand it over time to keep it as comprehensive as possible. #Thread #ProtestSafely

📌BREAKING: Japanese stock futures trading was JUST SUSPENDED due to an emergency circuit breaker. This comes as the Dow Jones and S&P 500 Futures fell 4% each amid fears of a ‘Black Monday’ on April 7.

“What happened? You helped elect Donald Trump you fucking moron” - @timmiller.bsky.social

A reminder.

Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

THIS. #HandsOff

My town is a small boat and horse town (pop. 12k), trends white and churchy, so I was expecting to see a dozen or so people in a small huddle. Not hundreds lining the road on all four corners. #HandsOff

All over the country people are protesting this means two things- What Trump‘s doing is getting noticed What trumps doing is unpopular

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Senior residents from Arbor Terrace in Teaneck and Bristol House in Hackensack during a "Hands Off!" rally outside of Arbor Terrace, a senior living community in Teaneck, NJ on April 5, 2025.

Thousands and thousands of people at Civic Center SF, @indivisible.org organizers doing a great job teaching people why confronting aggressive counter protesters ( I haven’t seen any) plays into the autocrat playbook

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