AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

11 days.

We asked @democrats.org to be brave and take bigger actions. @booker.senate.gov listened. We need more. @housedemocrats.bsky.social take a delegation to El Salvador, hold press conferences, demand Abrego Garcia be returned. Demand all the men denied due process be returned. Make a spectacle of it.

"We can't fight extremism with moderation." -- Good line from Ras Baraka in the recent NJ-GOV debate

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

It’s been 10 days since Andrew Cuomo has answered a single question from the press. Why is he hiding?

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Trump insiders made billions this week off destroying the US financial system. And yes, torching global trust in us treasures does just that

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

If you were wondering how things were going today, one of the top posts on the stock trading subreddit is a link to the suicide hotline #USA #tariffs

At least they're not threatening to also take away your Social Security as your 401K gets tanked. Oh wait.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I’m ready for it.

The weather is crappy and it’s pouring at times, but huge crowds in NYC Bryant Park for today’s Hands Off protest.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Sounds like these people are just having the day they voted for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Threats to U.S. passport holders. Compromised news outlets. Constant cuts and layoffs. @drewmagary.bsky.social writes on his life under President Donald Trump. 📰: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

NEW: Two-thirds of NYC voters support creating municipal grocery stores to bring down prices. "The concept is imminently feasible. In fact, publicly owned grocery stores are quite common and already exist at scale—in the US military."

Hopeful stuff on how Poland stopped their slide into autocracy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/o...

I guess they called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night knowing our 401Ks weren’t completely fucked

US Call to Action against the Trump regime and its fascist coup d'état, if you have breath in your lungs take to the streets on Saturday, April 5. Events and numbers are rapidly growing. Join now. #3E #FiftyFiftyOne 1. rally.co/hands-off-ma... 2. theblop.org 3. events.pol-rev.com/search?conte...

Don't like Trump crashing your economy, costing you your jobs and burning down your future? get to the streets

Tactically, this seems like a fantastic time for institutions (law firms, universities) and individuals (Repubs in Congress) who want to stand up to Trump. He's openly cratering the economy, the weakness of Elon's ability to buy elections was just revealed in Wisconsin. The emperor has no clothes.

i want nothing more than for jd vance to become a pariah whose name is a burden on him for the rest of his life.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

They came up with their tariff rates by pretending that trade deficits are tariffs. Ridiculous thinking.

this shit sucks so much, most of us have lived through at least 3 other recessions now im just so sick of this shit they just keep stealing our future from us
