“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

I’ll ask the question that nobody’s asking, what’s happening to the property, the bank accounts, and the material wealth of those who are being deported? What?! And, just remember… We’ve seen this before.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

75 percent.

Buckle up for one of the nastiest Black Mondays in Wall Street history.

My favorite from today. #HandsOff #HandsOff2025

#HandsOff in Chicago

We have a president trying to rule like a dictator. We have an unelected billionaire using fear to seize control. And now they’re coming for you, your healthcare, your Social Security, your kids’ education. Here’s our message to Trump and Musk: #HandsOff

No explanation necessary…👇 Because. It’s. True. ✨

Mr. Trump thank you for bringing back the oldest American pastime: coming together to tell the government to eat shit

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

This was news before the election. But no one was covering it.

Keep posting

Absolutely. Great. News. 😎 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Minneapolis/St.Paul shows up @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org

#handsoff. Logan Utah! About 400-500 people getting into good trouble!

When politicians hurt their constituents they’re not conducting the People’s business but attending to their own. They must be removed from power, we need governance not tyranny.

It seems an estimated 3.5 million people turned out today. I have not heard of a single police officer being threatened. No national or state capitol building was attacked. This was just "We The People," reminding a nation what democracy looks like. Well done, and godspeed. #HandsOff

Are we great yet?

#handsoff2025 #april5 Boston!

This is Salt Lake City, Utah. Amazing turnout for #HandsOff rally in a deep red state.

There are some absolutely fantastic signs out here today. Arts and craft game is strong.

We’re underway here in Philadelphia, marching to support @indivisiblephl.bsky.social’s Hands Off Day of Action.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Atlanta…today💙

Senior Justice Dept. lawyer put on leave after questioning Trump administration. Word is spreading about the use of polygraph testing. New directives have gone out—coalition members, please check for updates.

Good trouble in Washington, D.C.👇

“Federal courts may not have the power to compel the release of an individual from a foreign prison, but they unquestionably have the power to order the U.S. government to take whatever steps it can to effectuate the same result.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/138-abrego...

We love you New York ! #HandsOff

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

My office has gotten hundreds of calls about the recent efforts in Washington to attack our Social Security & healthcare. And it was a hot topic at my last in-person town hall. So let’s keep the conversation going as I continue to take a stand against any cuts to these hard-earned benefits. (1/2)

No notes needed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Paid proteats? Certainly! AIPAC-funded groups paid students and bussed them to DC. Every accusation from the right is a confession crownheights.info/jewish-news/...

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.
