I always think "surely this Wes Anderson film is as Wes Anderson'y as it's possible for a Wes Anderson film to be," but then he finds another Wes Anderson'y gear on his easter-green 1954 V2 Citreon City-coupe with all Rhodesian-leather interior and makes an even Andersonian-er film.

The money-nihlists are starting to turn on the power-nihlists. It's very much *no longer cool* to think Trump is anything other than a moron amongst the finance-bros. Small victories.

I'm so excited to see how many people showed up to protest today. Being surrouded by allies is a huge morale boost in times like these. Let's translate this energy into more action! Show up at your town halls. Let them know you're pissed off. Don't back down from the fights. #Resist!

We've had enough! Hands off our democracy! April 5 is a national day of action. Join me in D.C. @ the Sylvan Theatre where I'll be speaking w/ fellow litigators & democracy defenders Be there! - TN

This is shocking, even for them.

If Corey Booker can stand and speak for 25 hours, can't we citizens pledge to stand for a couple of hours on Saturday, in defiance of the desecration of our Constitution? If this isn't important to you, what is?

Comrades, it's ok to take delight in an outcome that you played a small role in ensuring. Some joy doesn't mean that you are ignoring the terrible. It means that you might have a better chance of surviving the terrible and remaining committed to bringing about some good. Have a good day.

Corey Booker is a legend. #resist #filibuster

It’s election day, Illinois! Municipal elections are being held today across the state. Find your polling place and make your voice heard. Get out and vote today. ova.elections.il.gov/PollingPlace...

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing... [It's also an election day in many other parts of the country, too.] https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-you-live-in-wisconsin-or-floridas

Reminder that in every state capitol and most major cities in the US there will be protests on April 5th. It's time to show up and make our voices heard! #resist #Resist #Protest #protest #April5th

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Senior partners at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, a firm of 115 lawyers, write: "partners at big firms — who often earn millions a year — must be willing to take financial risks when the fate of our nation, the future of our profession & the rule of law itself is at stake. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/o...

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Fighting back has never been harder in most of our lifetimes. That's why it's more important than ever to do it. #resist #protest #boycott #strike

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

I’m sure this post isn’t gonna get traction it needs to because that seems to be a theme with events that are important, but if you are around tonight, this is a call you wanna join. I will, of course, be doing a summary afterwards, but you wanna join this call yourself too!

Do not normalize the kidnapping of people off our streets, from their homes, or anywhere else. #resist #operatefromjoy #ICE #theresistance #resistance

Trump is conducting an authoritarian witch hunt against foreign students here legally, simply because they’ve engaged in free speech that his regime doesn’t like. This is modern-day McCarthyism and an attack on the First Amendment. We must all stand up against it.

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.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.  It’s between democracy and oligarchy.  The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.  Know the truth.

I don't think people understand how bad it's going to be with the world looking at us as clowns. Not just this administration. The conversation is that the American voters are poorly informed and reckless. You might not care, but you will.
