A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

and invented Ron Vara (and anagram of his name) as an expert in his book: “Ron Vara doesn’t exist. He never has. The economics expert that Peter Navarro has long cited to explain why he’s so gung-ho on tariffs, this person, Ron Vara, is a made-up person.” www.yahoo.com/news/rachel-...

Here is a trio of shiba sweetness, to soothe your soul :).

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

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.

Exactly!

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.

The worst news of the week. "The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

They have our business!

Along with the firings of up to 1300 co-workers this week and the removals of several institute leaders, NIH employees are dealing with another blow from the administration of President Donald Trump: a mandate to eliminate $2.6 billion in contracts. scim.ag/43XU1nd

He hates the military. We are just props.

I remember this day like it was yesterday. Rest in Peace, Martin Luther King, Jr. Sadly, the fight is never over.

Hey! We know that raised fist logo! We see that blue heart! Check out the green text! We truly appreciate the support. It fills our green hearts with energy to resist. We’re in it for the long haul and are glad to have you with us. 💚 #publichealthsaveslives #cdc www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/h...

Dark Pence is back.

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

What say you? 👇 Mad yet?!

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Good morning. We’ve learned that RIF notices went out by branch overnight—timed for maximum cruelty. We’ll share info and resources throughout the day. To those affected: We’re so sorry. This is a deep personal loss and a loss for everyone you keep safe and healthy through your work. 💚

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

A lily for your thoughts.

Cory Booker

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor. With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President. Go Cory!

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Day 68 of Trump mass deportation: US gov-building secret concentration camps & separating families on military bases. DOJ-sexual assaults of undocumented children by contractors & employees will not be prosecuted. State dept-will hold American citizens in El Salvador torture prison.

Hell yeah, Austin.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

We just wanted to say amazing work to everyone this weekend—an estimated 200,000 protesters took to the streets. Elon Musk claims that we are “paid” protesters, and many of us are curious about how to sign up to get paid (/s).

Sumy region, the border with Russia. The Russian army is wiping that area off the face of the earth. In some villages, it is impossible to even evacuate civilians - Russian FPV drones attack all vehicles. This is what Putin really wants. He doesn't want peace.

Musk is holding a rally in Green Bay as part of his ongoing attempt to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In response, grassroots groups and community members will gather to protest and send a clear message: our democracy is not for sale.

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Are we “Great” yet?

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

They're going after Big Bird again. We ride at dawn.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Cycle of ignorance.

Military mom here: fire every one of the assholes who endangered the lives of American troops with a Signal chat.

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.
