@kenmartin.bsky.social promised a "People's Cabinet" a month ago. Where are they? What are they doing to stop fascism?

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell is the first to permanently block an executive order issued by President Trump punishing a law firm for representing clients or causes he dislikes.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

jk jk, he can't even dream of crowds this big 💅 #50501Movement

@booker.senate.gov + 15 other Dems voted for Tr*mp's election denier nom as ambassador to China. If we are truly in a Constitutional crisis w/ the pres attempting to install a dictatorship, why is ANY Dem going on record as supporting anything Tr*mp wants? Where is our unified party of NO?

It’s illegal and unconstitutional for the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations like schools, hospitals, or churches for politically motivated reasons. We’re fighting back. www.politico.com/live-updates...

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

🚨 TODAY IS ELECTION DAY! 🚨 Cast your ballot for key elected offices — including school boards and mayors — in counties like Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Travis, and more. Headed to the polls in Texas? Keep these things in mind...

The two societies said: “This effort aims to sustain the momentum of the sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA), the authors and staff of which were dismissed earlier this week by the Trump administration, almost a year into the process.” from @theguardian.com via @climatedesk.org

First Germany. Then Canada. Now Australia. The whole world is REJECTING Trump and Putin — and all their radical right-wing fascist parties and politics.

All Of This! Thank You, Jasmine!😊💙

We have never suffered from scarcity in America. We suffer from greed. And because of that greed, more and more people are not taking their medication, losing their health care, and dying. It’s enough. We need Medicare for All.

Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR give every American access to culture, history, art, and trusted journalism. They’re a cornerstone of civic life. Defunding them does a disservice to us all, especially in rural communities. We must defend them.

CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season, the most in 15 years. Experts say the decline in vaccinations is certainly playing a role in this season's loss of life. More US children have died this flu season than at any time since the 2010 swine flu pandemic👇

The National Endowment for the Arts withdrew and canceled grant offers to numerous arts organizations around the country, sending a round of email notifications out just hours after Trump proposed eliminating the agency in his next budget.

House Republicans created a disaster for D.C. with the CR — restricting the District's ability to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more. My bill with Senator Collins to fix this passed unanimously in the Senate. House Republicans need to pass it NOW.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he will ask Defense Department officials why an Army Black Hawk helicopter violated flight restrictions at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

"It probably goes without saying, but just in case: Researching a vaccine is substantially more complicated than researching a stroller," Monica Hesse writes. wapo.st/4iH7inG

“Trump Republicans are hellbent on making California smoggy again,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. from @insideclimatenews.org via @climatedesk.org

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

Our client Mohsen Mahdawi was detained by ICE at his citizenship interview in retaliation for his advocacy in support of the Palestinian people. In his first piece since he was released, Mohsen stands firm in his commitment to free speech, human rights, and justice for all.

We had another jam packed week at the ACLU of Maine! ✅ Rallying for our rights on May Day ✅ New records detailing the Town of Wells' support for ICE ✅ Fighting for voting rights at the State House with our partners Check out just a few of the latest highlights ⤵️

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

With nearly 40 years of legal practice, lawyer Abbe Lowell has represented many powerful people. Now he's starting a new law firm to represent those who have drawn the ire of President Trump. By @carriejohnson.bsky.social

NEWS: Law firms that made deals w/Trump worried abt losing clients if they didn't. But it looks like there is risk in the opposite direction: A major client, Microsoft, has pulled business from a firm that made a deal and gave it to a firm fighting Trump's exec order www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

Well said!👇

We have to keep the pressure up – make your voice heard. The GOP is laying the groundwork to cut essential services like Medicaid and SNAP to make pay for a HUGE tax cut for the ultra-wealthy. Show up & let your representatives know what you think about that.

Recently seen in London, England.

I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

The Administration is slashing $1,000,000,000 in funding that helps schools support our kids mental health during this gun violence epidemic. Removing this support abandons our children & teachers by stripping these resources that keep our kids’ safe.
