Donald Trump said he wants ICE to detain and deport US citizens, and is taking active steps to defy the constitution and the courts to make that possible. Anyone saying “oh that could never happen” is naive or lying. The threat is real.

I said it in Butler, I said it in Altoona, and I said it on Sunday: This is not how we resolve our differences. This kind of violence has no place in our society — and it must be condemned by everyone, from both political parties

The Dodgers went to the Trump White House today to desecrate Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Fernando, Hideo, and the diversity, equity and inclusion that always gave the team their strength. Instead, they walked in the tradition of Al Campanis. Email them your thoughts! fanfeedback@ladodgers.com

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

The people are awake. The people are angry. And the people are organized. 📍 Chicago, Illinois #HANDSOFF

The Constitution gives CONGRESS power over tariffs. Congress gave that power away to the president over the years. The Republican-majority Congress could STOP Trump's tariffs. Right now. BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO.

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.

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

We, the people, ARE PISSED!

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.
