Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

Another idea: tell your boss his ideas are killing our economy.

So is HSI from Homeland Security the new SS? @maddow.msnbc.com

I could not agree more. Half the country voted this moron into office. The American education system is broken.

Please, please vaccinate your children. If you don’t, you are simply put, a MORON.

It’s like they think of the worst, most destructive, idiotic thing to do then prioritize it. How many years will it take to undo the damage done to the United States?

Breaking Reuters:   The Trump admin moved a Venezuelan man who had worked in construction in Philadelphia to Texas for possible deportation *after* a federal judge had issued an order blocking his removal from Pennsylvania or the U.S., according to court records. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

DOGE working for Putin?

Shout out to my friends up in Seattle and the tesla regret protest!

🚨 The Trump admin is targeting students & scholars for protected speech—detaining people like Mahmoud Khalil & Rümeysa Öztürk for speaking out. This is a full-blown attack on the First Amendment. Free speech must be for everyone. Tell Congress: #VoteNoOnRepression #ProtectFreeSpeech

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Somehow we have to wake up republicans in Congress. They have the power to make this stop.

@maddow.msnbc.com Olympia WA today

Big #handsoff protest today in Olympia, WA. Shout out to @olyindivisible.bsky.social and @50501movement.bsky.social for organizing.

ALL HANDS ON DECK! Get your family and friends, get your signs, find your flag, and show up for democracy on the 5th. Be on the right side of history and fight for your country.

This is what organizing over 1,200 events in a few weeks looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Join the more than half a million of us who will be taking to the streets tomorrow to stand up against Trump’s unprecedented power grab: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

He actually thinks these tariffs are good for our economy, doesn’t he? And nobody in his admin was like “uh, Mr. President, …”

In this period where social security and other critical supports are being eroded, please check on your elderly family members and neighbors. They are gonna need you.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

If people are interested in @jayapal.house.gov’s Resistance Lab, check out what she posted on YouTube It was featured on @maddow.msnbc.com tonight.

Vaccinate your kids, folks. A lot of people are going to get sick and die from preventable diseases because this is where America is right now - in freefall. RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

@pattymurray.bsky.social @cantwell.senate.gov please see below and do your best to help.

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.
