We have two Supreme Court Justices—Thomas & Alito—who have come out of the closet about their contempt for the Constitution.

We’ll have estimates later today, but small towns are really showing up. You can tell, it’s catching local media off guard. Reporters are like, “Wow, we didn’t expect this kind of turnout here.” As for the comments on those stories, ignore the usual MAGA noise.

Love this protest sign! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for the #NoKings protests! Got to meet my friend @jaybird54.bsky.social and her husband there. It’s always fun to resist this fascists regime with friends! Get out there and have your voices be heard.

The Medicaid budget cut is a betrayal to our veterans who rely on it for healthcare services. How can we claim to support our troops when we're taking away their health care? #MedicaidCutsKillUS #MomSky

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

We haven’t forgotten.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

During Passover as well. Waiting for more facts but seems like a deliberate, intentional hate attack.

Imagine your own congressman screwing you over just to “own the libs.” Speaker Johnson: Working overtime to hand more cash to billionaires and big corporations — you know, the ones really struggling. He’s up for reelection along with the rest of the House. Stand up. Vote him out.

As predicted on @pivotpod.bsky.social

This is true!

This is unconscionable.

“There were no autistic people 25 years ago” because we were institutionalized & kept out of public life literally until a law passed in 1999 for people to stop dumping their autistic kids/relatives off. MAGA, as usual, doesn’t even have the vocab for the convo which is why they fall for obvious bs.

The Trump administration just got into very deep trouble with the Supreme Court order. On left: DOJ claims USG only needs to "facilitate the return" of Abrego Garcia (via domestic policy) On right: Supreme Court 9-0 held USG must "facilitate Abrego Garcia's RELEASE FROM CUSTODY in El Salvador"

Here it is: Republicans told us in Project 2025 that they’d eliminate Head Start.  Now, they’re doing it.  Their concern for high costs, for kids, for parents — all lies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

“Republicans have betrayed hardworking Americans by raising costs for those already struggling to make ends meet.”

Veterans, federal workers (not named out of fear of retaliation), organizers and activists, costume lovers—thousands and thousands were out in San Francisco for the #HandsOff protest. "We swear an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." WATCH:

Yes, yes, it is.

Fuck yeah! Who’s in? 🙋🏻‍♂️

I'm glad that yesterday's protests are getting news coverage. Reporters have an important role to play as witnesses and authenticators of public sentiment. It's easy to dismiss protesters as inauthentic: Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Republicans are undoing years of climate progress under the second Trump administration using an unlikely progressive tool: antitrust law. from @slate.com via @climatedesk.org

“A private security force that is exercising the power of the marshals…you have to start worrying about whether they are acting in the public interest and whether they understand the rules that apply to the marshals.”

The business sector has tried to avoid criticizing Trump in public and welcomed his vows of lower taxes and deregulation, but the market sell-off appears to have loosened more tongues on Wall Street.

This is correct. Trump enjoys our suffering. He feasts on it. Musk as well. This is a fun game to them and they revel in the harm they are causing. Our suffering is not a byproduct of their horrible actions, it's a prime motivation for them to take those actions.

Tone deaf is calling average Americans, who are watching their retirement evaporate, "weak and stupid" after YOU caused their 401Ks to shrink.

NEW: The 4th Circuit rejects Trump’s bid to overturn a ruling requiring the return of a wrongfully deported Maryland father. The court described the deportation as "a path of perfect lawlessness." The administration has appealed to the Supreme Court. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

This all gives me a ray of hope. #resistfascism

Harrisburg, PA one of two “Hands Off!” rallies in Harrisburg that happened on both the front steps and rear steps of the Capitol building. #HandsOff2025 #MeidasTouch #WhenWeFightWeWin

Thousands of people gather at the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix, part of the Hands Off anti-Trump protests taking place around the state and country on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

Democrats will hold town halls and protests in Arizona nearly every day this week in an effort to capitalize on voter frustrations with President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Our protest made it onto Meidas Touch✊🏻🇺🇸 Thank you to all who came out in every single state.✌🏻 We created quite a wave.

@meiselasb.bsky.social @meidastouch.com This was on an overpass on the exurbs of Denver, in 20º temperatures on a cloudy day. My best guess? We had 400-500 people. And what it looks like when it is nice. In a red area. +20 for Trump.

200+ people in ruby red Clinton County, Ohio got an overwhelming amount of honks and waves on a rainy day. #HandsOff @meiselasb.bsky.social

#HandsOff in beautiful little Orinda CA- several hundred protesters reminding Musk and Trump that this country belongs to ALL of us.

My disability prevented me from attending Boone’s #handsoff protest but my wonderful wife still walked for us!

Do not fuck with Detroit. Detroit has seen and survived shit you wouldn't believe. Detroit's unfuckingkillable.
