Today, I joined a coalition of 20 other attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to protect libraries and museums, highlighting the critical role these community resources play in children's education in and out of the classroom.

Even if Donald Trump believes he can ignore court orders, he can’t ignore the people. Thank you to the thousands of Michiganders who showed up at protests across the state today to make your voices heard. Keep it up!

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.”

Convicted Felon, Donald Trump’s March 25th Executive Order targeting voter registration is an authoritarian move to prevent free and fair elections. Listen to @marcelias.bsky.social explain why we need to be paying attention. www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

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.

Fight for freedom, save America. #HandsOff

This is just the beginning

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump’s out here swinging golf clubs while folks are in the streets fighting back. Voter suppression, wild tariffs, & straight-up disrespect for democracy—Folks are fed up, Trump & Elon. #HandsOff

Frost: They want us to believe that they are the patriots of free speech. They are the ones kidnapping and disappearing college students

Senator Cory Booker showed up to the Hands Off! protest in Montclair, New Jersey! "It's time to turn our anger into action, our worry into work. It's time to turn our fear into fight!" Love him! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You may not realize how huge this is, but for a town in Wyoming, people showed up today! #Handsoff #Casper #Wyoming

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

My favorite part of #HandsOff at the MN Capitol was this band drowning out hate preachers behind them

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

For people who aren't in big cities or people who are in red states, these rallies and other actions can be lifesavers. If you think they don't matter, try viewing them from a different perspective.

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

By the way whenever we come out of a deep recession like 2008, the rich get richer

A little rain wasn’t going to stop NYC. #handsoff

This is what Democracy looks like!! #HandsOff #GoodTrouble in Wilmington NC!!

This is what patriotism looks like. #HandsOff 🙌🙏💪👏👊👇

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

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

“Hands Off” rally in Frederick, Maryland. We stand together for Democracy!🇺🇸☮️💪💙🇨🇦🇺🇦

#handaoff Ketchum, Idaho April 5, 2025

“Hands Off” rally in Frederick Maryland today! “Let Freedom Ring!” 💪🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 💙

Ideally, if we can ever get the father, who was illegally deported to El Salvador, back home with his family, he would be able to sue the United States government for hundreds of millions of dollars. For now, I want them to get his ass home. I suspect you do as well.

Eisen: Donald Trump has removed my security clearance three times. I don't know if it is a mental capacity thing and he just forgets that he did it, or if he takes it away and then when he loses again, he says, turn it back on so I can feel better about all of the losing.

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

Today we march—nationwide! Join us and make some good trouble!

Nothing says MAGA quite like seeing Lithuania’s President honoring our 4 fallen soldiers whilst the orange felon was promoting a Saudi-owned golf league at his trashy resort in Miami.

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

We are very far over the cliff here, folks

Institutions such as Harvard have vast financial resources, great prestige & broad networks of influential alumni. If they do not or cannot resist the arbitrary application of government power, who else can? Without acts of resistance, what protects the rule of law? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Trump’s tariff taxes are hurting small businesses, farmers, and families across Minnesota. Main Street is being hurt by Trump’s economic crash.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!
