Walz: "Remember, Donald Trump has statements about, 'I don't think nuclear war would be that bad.' I guess we're lucky that he went after tariffs instead of that route."

This is good. This is important.

🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Gov Tim Walz (D-MN) to CNN: "I don't know if I'm the best spokesperson to do it... after just losing an election... but what I know is the public ... they're rising up and asking their leadership to do something"

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Free Trade, zero tariffs Elon vs Full Tariff Trump is going to be interesting to watch. The stakes are enormous for the American People Who comes out on top ? I think unfortunately for the economy, in this case , it's Trump.

Schiff: "That may end up being the most enduring image of the Trump presidency: The president out on a golf cart while peoples' retirement is in flames."

Wake up people! Hands Off!

Protest are really, really, really, really, really, really important. Protests matter. Everything matters .

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

BREAKING: We have confirmation that millions protested Elon Musk and Donald Trump, prices on Bananas, Coffee, and Toilet Paper are going to go up, and Trump places a DOJ attorney on indefinite leave after he lost in court. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

This is why fighting and paying attention is so important. Our media is broken and sane washes Trump, giving him tons of media coverage now and before he was elected the second time. They had to cover the protests because they were huge and widespread, but they provided minimal coverage.

Since Trump came to power, cowardice has become contagious. From the tech bros to the leaders of Ivy League universities, the great grovel to Trump is well underway. What we need now more than ever is for people to show courage. The American people themselves led the way with the #HandsOffProtests.

We have a winner!

This!

It should be banned!

thought this was a good post but i’m afraid i have to delete it since it is very clear that it was going to attract a thousand replies for normal people who don’t have internet brain rot

Dear Democrats have you started working on Project 2029 YES? We'll be watching 👀 💥

If we have normal elections, and Democrats are able to get back in power we need to take a long hard look at how to enact the same kind of anti-corruption laws that helped prevent another Nixon for decades and decades and decades.

Best case he turns off Apr 2nd tariffs Monday. Leaves the 10pct tariffs (not great, but realistic). Elon leaves Doge, which decides to stagger the cuts over 3 yrs, accounting for local impact. That slows the economy, reducing interest rates, reducing payments on debt to affordable levels.

This is my friend Pam and her husband Ron. He is a Vietnam veteran. They have both been involved in POW causes for decades. Yesterday, at a hands off rally in St Joseph, Missouri, a man drove around them in his pickup yelling at them. MAGA folks are not patriots. They never were.

Good trouble

INCREDIBLE: Literally MILLIONS of people took part in “Hands Off!” protests against Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally today, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms. #HandsOff

What a day. What a country! 💪

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Love seeing all the people who care. Big cities are amazing, but this bravery is what makes my heart burst.

Exactly! Fox "News" is a poison and it is designed to keep its viewers insulated and controlled.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

3.5 million people turned out yesterday. Not one Capitol building stormed, not one police officer attacked. #handsoff

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun. From Canada we say: #elbowsup

“Concerns varied by location. In Ketchum, Idaho … one sign showed Smokey Bear and read, ‘Only you can prevent forest fires. Seriously. We’ve been defunded. It’s just you now.’”

Yes, prices will skyrocket. Yes, business will go bankrupt. Yes, stocks will crash. Yes, unemployment will rise. But if we hold on, the tariffs will be worth it. If fully implemented we can finally achieve the true American dream: rich people not having to pay ANY taxes.

These are the signs of the times — as demonstrated in today’s Hands Off! WE ARE THE OPPOSITION!!

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

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.

Riggs is the Democratic incumbent in the race for a state Supreme Court seat. After she narrowly won the race, her Republican opponent, Judge Jefferson Griffin, challenged tens of thousands of votes. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/all...

I should have made more AOCs.

None of this is meant to further American interests. It’s meant to further the oligarchs interests.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious

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!

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...
