Thousands gathered in front of the Manitoba legislature Sunday afternoon to celebrate what it means to be Canadian. Free Press staff photographer John Woods was at the Rally for Canada event to capture the spirit of the event.

Can’t wait for the updated exhibits at the Holocaust Museum that explain how hiding Jews in basements violated Dutch health and safety codes

WASHINGTON (AP) — After hiding in Thailand for seven years, two Cambodian journalists arrived in the United States last year on work visas, aiming to keep providing people in their Southeast Asian homeland with objective, factual news through Radio Free Asia.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

This is one the greatest achievements in US history.

@maddow.msnbc.com Even the itty bitty town of Chelan, WA got into #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff #1A

Penguins! #HandsOff

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The protests aren’t slowing down—they’re spreading. City to city, town to town. People are outraged, and they’re making it known. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. But stay peaceful—don’t give Trump any excuse for violence or martial law.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?" This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there. He has some thoughts.

Read the Naval Academy’s list of banned books www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Omg my book got banned by the US Naval Academy, this is truly wild

Hell yes, Idaho! #handsoff

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

a friend sent me this one

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.

Humanities Texas was founded in 1973 and makes a huge difference in our state!

Not one of these EOs listed in this letter is valid. Notably, no statutory language is listed. The President’s agenda is not a statutory reason for termination. It really is just straight up lying and people should start just suing the government in the Court of Claims.

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities. Tell Congress to protect library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries #ForOurLibraries

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

Wisconsin fought and clawed to get out from under the thumb of the Kochs and Uihleins who had bought and paid for gerrymandered Republican dominance for years. And then another rich motherfucker showed up and the whole state said not today.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

From the State Humanities Councils: “all awarded grants—including their 5-year General Operating Grants and other program-specific awards—were canceled in their entirety, effective April 1” More info & action alert script for your legislators: www.statehumanities.org/action-alert...

The acting head of the NEH just terminated all remaining funds for state humanities councils, saying it was in the national interest.

www.comicsands.com/sheehy-tarif... Wrong metaphor. More like a wild fire is burning the house down, and this (literal) fireman refuses to render aid.

Before sunrise, Trump and DOGE fired thousands of federal workers across HHS, including many of my constituents. Let’s fire DOGE and get these devoted and critical public servants back on the job. My full statement: raskin.house.gov/2025/4/raski...

Thanks Senator Cassidy for reminding America: When MAGA says it will “reform” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they mean they will “cut” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Clearly time to “reform” MAGA.

www.statehumanities.org/action-alert... And now it’s the NEH targeted by DOGE. 😓

The appropriate response to attempts to make history a singular narrative is to embrace multiplicity.

The Trump administration’s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and America’s future. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-scienc...

Pay attention to who he is hurting most with these cuts.

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings
