Great turnout in Cocoa, Florida, for the 4/19 Handsoff demonstration.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

FEMA has wiped their website of a bunch of courses- one of which is: IS-368.a—Including People With Disabilities in Disaster Operations If it wasn't clear yet- these people aren't just ideological, they are barbaric.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

Injustice is injustice, it’s a Universal Law! regardless of how you desperately try to defend whats taking place in 🇺🇸 that was founded by people fleeing Religious persecution, poverty, political oppression, & wars! The constitution affirms this Right. Then some Rich f..k came along & corrupted it!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Annapolis, MD showed up, with over 1,000 people standing up for democracy today!

It’s been almost 250 years since we organized a political revolution to overthrow a king and constitute a new democracy. Maybe we’re overdue.

RFK Jr. says he'll find out the cause of autism. I wanna know the cause of RFK Jr.

Ocean Beach, San Francisco today. 👏 #50501movement #HandsOff (📸 Stephen Lam, SF Chronicle)

Love this!!

👍🏽

Let's do it.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

It’s safe to say Hands Off Day went way, way better than his bullshit “Liberation Day” What a great day 👏 A good reminder that there is still more of us than them and we will get through this if we stick together.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Brilliant!

STEPHANOPOULOS: The president retweeted a post that said the market drop was part of a deliberate strategy. Is that the president's strategy? HASSETT: Heh ha. The bottom line is the president has been talking about tariffs for 40 years. He's allowed to have an opinion. S: So that is his strategy.

Could a Presidential Recall Vote be possible ? Keith Olbermann takes a look at this question from "what would the Republican's do?" scenario.

Free Trade, zero tariffs Elon vs Full Tariff Trump is going to be interesting to watch. The stakes are enormous for the American People Who comes out on top ? I think unfortunately for the economy, in this case , it's Trump.

This guy is going off about DOGE cutting the program to address first responders' health problems as a result of 9/11: "Some ignorant kids took their chain saw to a program...The unconscionable, disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, malicious actions of DOGE is an atrocity..."

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

If you still believe these reckless tariffs will somehow make you better off in the long run, you’re either an oligarch or an imbecile.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Sure rings true.

Paying down debt is resistance, as is frugality. Spending helps capitalism thrive without free democracy. Investing in foreign currency is resistance. Find a treat that isn't a status symbol. Save money for what's coming. 1/2
