Hi. Breathe.

We have received many questions about Trump potentially invoking the Insurrection Act, which gives the president broad power to deploy the military within our country. Lawmakers, organizers and everyday Americans should be ready to respond quickly and effectively if Trump takes this dangerous step.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward. “I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now. Here:

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

#HandsOff #TrustInEducation I hope news outlets cover all of these

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.

TODAY: It’s time to take to the streets nationwide to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission. Nearly 600,000 people are signed up to attend 1,400 events in every state and seven countries. Find out what’s happening near you and join us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It's working! Keep it up! Congratulations! (Super-fun Muskito didn't realize that when you're in retail the customer is king.)

Exclusive: GOP Rep. Don Bacon plans to introduce a bill aimed at reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs. He's the first House Republican to openly challenge the powers Trump is using to launch a global trade war.

Trump is a thug. He says it's a great time to get rich. Yes for the billionaire class it is. How does he arrive at the percentage of tariffs he's demanding from countries he is shaking down? Who does it benefit when he states a 46% tariff For goods?

Are there 2 America's? Bluesky & X?

if you can't be motivated by Cory Booker's day-long speech, at least be motivated by the petty joy of crushing Ted Cruz' record.

Today, we’re celebrating trans communities’ vibrancy and perseverance in the face of attacks on their very existence -- and fighting for a future when all our trans and nonbinary siblings can safely live authentically and freely. No hateful law or executive order can erase your identity.

Trump is a failed businessman so it should come as no shock that he is tanking the economy and now I just hope those who voted for him and vote in a way that expresses their economic pain and not their racist and prejudiced grievances

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

On Tuesday, we can secure the liberal majority on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court and show the GOP that Elon Musk’s money can’t buy everything. Help us GOTV for Susan Crawford from anywhere. Wisconsin residents: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/2025_s... Everyone else: mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Turkey’s protests over Istanbul mayor grow into ‘fight about democracy’

Tech Bros are not nerds they are imperialists

Bill Burr noticed that his twitter account got flagged after making fun of the "twitter guy" so obviously he had something to say about it 🤣🔥

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Contrary to #MAGA hysteria Hollywood has never been liberal but profit driven. I was told by a casting directoe once that "Brown was in". So shitty but not shocking that thx 2 HerrTrumpMusk stories w women, poc, trans people are disappearing/not "in". H'wood isnt brave either.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Come on Schumer. Democrats need to vote no. #ShutItDown #StandUp #BlockTheBill
