Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

MAGAs know women vote +10 points for Dems over GOP, so rather than try to attract female voters with better ideas, the SAVE Act tries to ban women from voting altogether If your path to ‘win’ is voter suppression, it isn’t democracy you support, it’s dictatorship www.qasimrashid.com/p/magas-are-...

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Here we go, the Trump admin has unlawfully frozen $2 billion in multi year grants and contracts to Harvard. It's time for Harvard to bring a suit and stop this extortion racket for good. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

When you decide as a society that there are people in this world that you dont have to give a shit about, that you can do anything to, that you have othered to the point of inhumanity, you sign your OWN death warrant.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

In all 50 states, there’s #HandsOff protests happening today. BUT, there’s global protests too. Worldwide resistance to Trump & Musk’s illegal trampling of the Constitution. Demos already seen in Paris🇫🇷, Amsterdam🇳🇱 & Lisbon🇵🇹. Here’s the current scene in Trafalgar Sq, London🇬🇧👏 (🎥 Chris Hobbs)

The economy is crashing. Americans are watching their 401Ks turn into 201Ks. Grocery prices are through the roof. And what’s Donald Trump doing? Golfing. Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and face the people! #Handsoff

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy. 
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

New Haven, CT! #HandsOff

thinking about the amount of context necessary to explain to someone from 2010 what people are protesting with signs reading "cheap eggs not measles" or "tax the rich, not the penguins"

This seems like a bad idea

Senior Justice Dept. lawyer put on leave after questioning Trump administration. Word is spreading about the use of polygraph testing. New directives have gone out—coalition members, please check for updates.

Protesting in the streets Dreaming of guillotines in the sheets

What a nightmare for parents and children. www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/05/n...

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA
