Do not obey

Full transparency, I was overwhelmed by the state of our nation this morning and had a good cry. On my walk, I saw a bald eagle and I’m taking that as a sign.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Keeping us busy.

Despicable.

We liberals should never have allowed right-wing extremists to hijack the term “liberal” and redefine it to suit their warped political agenda. The very notion that we should somehow be ashamed of believing in and fighting for human rights as well as economic justice is absurd.

Wonderful to see you here!

The current figure I'm seeing is that as many as 3.3 million Americans protested today. #HandsOff #Resist

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?" This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there. He has some thoughts.

Wow! So inspired by this.

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” Elie Wiesel (1928-2016), writer and Auschwitz survivor #HandsOff ‼️

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

So exciting to see!

This is a real exchange I just had:

Spread the word: it’s a national day of action. Trump and Musk are destroying the economy and dismantling our country. There are hundreds of protests around America today to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Enough is enough. Find an Event: handsoff2025.com

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Sen. Corey Booker's ending to his 25+ hour speech, March 31st ---> April 1st.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

WELKER: Do you believe that Ratcliffe and Gabbard were truthful when they testified before your committee? BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

Why the election in Wisconsin on Monday should matter to all Americans: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Nancy Mace is trying to censure me, Donald Trump is trying to arrest me, Elon Musk has promised us a primary in the next election. If this is my enemies list, then we are probably doing something right. Thanks to all who came to my townhall in Long Beach.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇 Well, are you?! 🤚

This is hilarious. #Greenland

- Planes falling from the sky - Consumer confidence plummeting - Grocery prices soaring - Job losses mounting - Measles outbreaks - Major security snafus - Protests EVERYWHERE - Social Security threatened - Medicare & Medicaid threatened "Two perfect months" 🤡

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Trump: "We like to use the words 'waste' and 'abuse,' because they sorta sound good."

asked about texting war plans to a Signal group, Pete Hegseth deflects by attacking Jeffrey Goldberg as a "discredited so-called journalist." (MAGA's only plays are whataboutism and attacking the messenger. Every. Time.)

Trump officials plotted Yemen strikes via text... and accidentally added a reporter. Trump feigns ignorance. Trump supporters attack protesters at Tesla dealerships. AOC shuts down Musk. And much more! Today's bulletin has arrived:

Help these 2 Democrats win their April 1 special elections to shock the nation! In Florida’s District 1, Gay Valimont and Josh Weil in 6th District. I interviewed both this week which you can watch in my article. Plus included is info on helping them: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/help-these...

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson: "They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

Colorado…

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Is this what Trump meant by "America First?" #USDemocracy
