This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

We know why . . . .

Public lands belong to all of us – so why do corporations get to drill them for profit? Join us with @mikealbertus.bsky.social who reveals how this happens and what we can do to stop it. LISTEN HERE: buff.ly/uNjOifw

So thrilled to see so many protests nationwide! Let's keep it going! #HandsOff

Downtown Greensboro, NC today. #HandsOff

🎯

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

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

They're eating the 401ks! They're eating the Social Security! They're eating the retirements of the people who live here!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes? Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

By the way whenever we come out of a deep recession like 2008, the rich get richer

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

🧵 time so buckle up! So let’s talk about the claim that Muskrat made about SSA giving Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to noncitizens. To be clear, since he did not make this distinction, the chart he showed does NOT mean those people received benefits. The chart was specific to SSNs assigned via 1/?

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

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.'"

The real story isn’t the accidental journalist in the group chat; it’s that Trump’s inner circle is openly scheming against Europe and assisting Putin with his desired takeover of European countries. That’s the headline. That's the real story.

Jessica Craven says call your reps 1-3x a week! “Practice being a citizen who lives in a democracy where your voice matters. Because if we all stop acting like it, democracy will shrivel & die." THIS WEEK call your reps & say you’re worried about the DOD war plans shared on Signal! www.5calls.org

Here's my script for calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz! Call ESPECIALLY your red representatives! Feel free to send my script to your friends to use!

The only thing more terrifying than a pack of evil, mediocre, white dudes intentionally trying to take down the USA... is the fact that they might also achieve it by accidental incompetence. If they don't achieve it on purpose, they might stumble onto it by negligence.

Never have so many imposters not suffered a bit from imposter syndrome.

Also: Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Five-point shackles over open wounds. Foul-smelling milk provided in solitary confinement. Feces left in shower cells. These incidents and others were reported to the ACLU and other legal aid providers between 2022 and 2024 by detainees at the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center.

One in four US businesses has scaled back their hiring plans because of the turmoil unleashed by President Donald Trump’s trade war, according to a survey of chief financial officers.

US Vice President JD Vance has now said he will join his wife Usha on her highly contentious visit to Greenland later this week, a decision that added fuel to the diplomatic fire while revealing major changes to the United States’ itinerary on the Arctic island.

The federal government typically tries to block corporate mergers if they will harm competition or raise prices for customers. The Trump administration is threatening to block deals, too — but for a different reason: punishing companies that promote DEI.
