MUST READ: "The president and several of his officials have openly challenged judicial authority, raising fears that his administration may defy court orders — and potentially ignite a constitutional crisis."

Can't let Yosemite and Joshua Tree stand alone in their distress signals! Solidarity from the right coast.

Andrew Jackson Isn’t a Patriot to Celebrate—He’s America’s Founding Father of Authoritarianism youtu.be/DOrBlwS0-bY

And do not miss the explanation: “Multiple Voice Of America Reporters Have Posted Anti-Trump Content On Social Media.” The implications are clear and should stop every American in her, his and their tracks. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.

This.

It. Is. Bezos. Shitting. On. The. Front. page. Of. His. Once. Great. Paper.

At @boston.gov, we've built a starter pack of all official City of Boston accounts. More teams are joining all the time and we're excited to see the Boston Bluesky community grow! You can follow all of our City teams right here.

Our Democratic senators need to step up and call for new leadership. Send your senators an email and urge them to publicly demand that Sen. Schumer steps aside.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

Trump’s EPA just launched the biggest attack on clean air and water in decades. Slashing pollution rules, gutting climate protections, and undermining basic science. They're trying to Make Pollution Great Again—and we can’t let it stand.

“There’s gonna be a big presence in DC, but it’s not just DC — I want to see this in rural areas, in suburban areas, in urban areas, in red states, purple states, blue states. It’s going to take all of us.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social We’re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5: handsoff2025.com

Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished. The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

"I appreciate the benefits of experience. And I am thrilled that many of our officials remain fit well into their senior years. But there are concrete downsides to a Congress — an entire political system — where members refuse to make way for fresh blood," Michelle Cottle writes.

Not everyone is welcome at Clark Middle School in Idaho 🤬 youtu.be/Jv18DtVhLmk?...

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

SunTzu had lots of things right —and he mastered the art of brevity:

This is the question we must all answer for ourselves. But if we cede democracy out of fear of Trump, things will not get better just because we cave. Freedom is worth the hard work it’s going to take.

Got any plans for next Friday? Cancel them and do this instead, we need you. ❤️🇺🇸

National Parks cuts makes absolutely no friggin sense 💥😡

We kick off with @aniloza.bsky.social, who joins us to discuss today’s Stand Up For Science rallies and what he's heard from organizers and attendees. Plus, a scientist and a student share why they're fired up to attend local rallies.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his country's plan to impose tariffs on some $107B worth of U.S. goods in response to President Trump's announcement that Canada would be subject to 25% duties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Couldn’t agree more. Cause a scene. Hold your own press conference on the capitol steps. The country is being dismantled along with the world order. At the very least yell back. A. Lot.

Trump Vance must be impeached That's it That's the post. Impeached for treason

Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

A moral crisis of staggering magnitude, by @SteveSchmidtSES substack.com/@steveschmid...

The DoD is purging all history that’s not related to its white, male, cisgender fantasy of the past. Actively erasing honest history, by tomorrow. And who is absolutely silent about it? @historians.org @oah.org @ncph.bsky.social @aaslh.bsky.social @battlefields.org @amrevmuseum.bsky.social

The first Black female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat. 2LT Emily Perez was killed in Iraq in 2006, for a country that now refuses to claim her. The Army has erased her story. As if she never existed. But history isn’t theirs to erase. We will not let them disappear her.

To my fellow American women, the Republican government is LITERALLY coming for your vote… youtu.be/nZocqZvcYn8
