Reminder that Dr. King did not say "I may not get there with you" because he was psychic, but because they'd been trying to kill him for years. Because they'd already taken down so many. Remember this when those with power use their fear as excuse for inaction or, worse, collaboration.

Americans demand to know why Elon Musk & DOGE are hacking our private data and what they’re doing with it. I introduced an Oversight resolution that will investigate Musk’s unsanctioned access to data and his use of AI to mine American data and its implications for privacy and national security.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

“People tend to think, eh, democracy, rule of law, an independent judiciary, freedom of the press—that’s all abstract stuff because it’s not affecting the price of eggs,” Obama said. “Well, you know what? It’s about to affect the price of eggs.”

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs. As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service. What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs.  Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

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.

This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid. “White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented. www.latimes.com/california/s...
