I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Plenty of complaints about Harvard over the years, but a proud Harvard alum today. wapo.st/4cH9vy3

I guess it’s good to know that the next Democratic president can ship Trump and his cabinet off to a Central American prison without a trial and we won’t ever have to worry about them coming back.

It's time to boycott El Salvador.

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Are you READY?! 🤚 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

"I thought when Bush was president that that would be the height of insanity. But I was so wrong." Longtime New Yorker Daniel Wapner, 57, turned out to the massive anti-Trump rally in Bryant Park. @joshsanburn.bsky.social talked to him and others about the terror of deportation w/o due process.

Ok starting a new thread from the 10,000+ (could be more) rally at SF Civic Center. And my colleagues are posting from around the country. See some at the @motherjones.com feed

CHICAGO…

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff

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

Swalwell: This is what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like

#HANDSOFF #NYC

Wow, listen to this reporter explain what it's like trying and get a question to Pierre Poilievre youtu.be/FgtWXGlSOUI?...

MASSIVE SHIFT Pro-democracy channels on YouTube are now growing faster than right-wing channels for the first time. MeidasTouch is proud to lead the way as the fastest-growing YouTube channel in Q1 2025. Keep this momentum going: YouTube.com/@meidastouch

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

BREAKING: SENATOR CORY BOOKER BREAKS RECORD FOR LONGEST SPEECH ON FLOOR OF U.S. SENATE

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk's 4th baby mama, is selling her Tesla: "I need to make up for the 60% cut that Elon made to our son's child support." 🍿

Circling back on this…

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…
