@maddow.msnbc.com Madison Wisconsin. Great rally and March!

@maddow.msnbc.com Port Huron, Michigan! We marched our river border with Canada to the Blue Water Bridge that connects us, and waved at our friends protesting on the other side. 500+, in a very red county! #HandsOff

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Is everyone participating tomorrow at noon at your state capital? 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿 #HandsOff

The thing about the judge's order is that, besides Kilmar Abrego Garcia, many or most of the people sent to the concentration camp in El Salvador had NO DUE PROCESS. Many of these people are known to be innocent of ANYTHING. I don't believe we should send anyone to a death camp ever....

Federal judge orders the US government to return Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by 11:59 p.m. on April 7

Just the facts.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Always

Hundreds of protesters at the West Capitol Park Hands Off! event in Albany, NY! We have the power to stop this takeover of our democracy! A few drops of rain are nothing in the face of a national crisis. #HandsOffAlbany @thirdactorg.bsky.social

Fox News has only one tariff story anywhere near the top of its home page and it's about Gavin Newsom. Not pictured: Market nosedive; supply-chain disruption; foreign retaliation; global ripple-effects.

Trump’s USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It’s not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

2500 at Duluth area @indivisible.org rally this morning. Twice as many as expected. Great rally. AG Keith Ellison spoke. #HandsOff2025

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

I signed onto an amicus brief this week to stop Trump’s unconstitutional assault on USAID. For nearly 40 years, USAID has uplifted our international allies, countered adversaries, and prevented crises. Trump can’t singlehandedly eliminate this agency just because Elon wants him to.

They lied. op: @senatorheinrich.bsky.social

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

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:

A very good read

"Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall ended a rural town hall meeting early after people angry about budget cuts, funding freezes and other actions by President Trump shouted the senator down."

It’s 2017 all over again: Republicans are lying about our movement and desperate to downplay your huge organizing numbers. Let’s keep building local power and making the GOP sweat. Find a group near you: indivisible.org/groups Or we can connect you: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Watched “Mississippi Burning” tonight in honor of Gene Hackman. Holy crap that movie is truth and has incredible relevance right now. If you’re looking for a way to understand why so many people are acting so afraid right now, watch this movie about 1960s Jim Crow.

Watching the 1937 Bogart film BLACK LEGION, about a worker who, after being passed over for a promotion, falls in with a group of xenophobic anti-immigrant demagogues who urge him to blame all his problems on foreigners instead of the bosses. The kind of wild fantasy they just don't make anymore!
