Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

On April 11, 1865, Pres. Lincoln gave his final speech on record. He praised Louisiana for ending slavery, urged Black voting rights, & called for seceded states to be restored to the Union—just days before he was assassinated. 131 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdownToSRD

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

Talked to someone who lives in Texas - 5 figure donor to DNC. Said they hadn’t heard about the doctor from Brown being disappeared. Talk to your friends in other states. Not everyone is as plugged in as you reading this right now. Spread the word. Spread reputable news. Connect the dots.

BREAKING: SCOTUS says Trump admin must "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return. The Trump admin fought the order — over a man it sent to a prison in El Salvador in an "administrative error" — to the Supreme Court, losing at all three levels of federal courts. Tonight, at Law Dork —>

The power of the people is greater than the people in power. #handsoff #socoresistance

Providence had 10k people and we were holding up South County with 1000 for @scresistcharwest.bsky.social ! Wakefield is likely to double that starting at 4p. @socoresistance.bsky.social #socoresistance #handsoff @thetnholler.bsky.social thanks for sharing the love!!

We are creating a whole community of people who feel less alone. Two South County towns in RI chose to host rallies in Westerly & Wakefield partially to give people that experience of finding a community fighting for our democracy. #socoresistence Cc @scresistcharwest.bsky.social #handsoff

"I came because I don't want them to take away the Social Security," #HandsOff rally-goer Jim Carson told our @juliannemcshane.bsky.social. "That's stealing it—we all paid already!" Julianne reported from her small hometown of Marshfield, which votes more red than MA, for this dispatch.

🪧🧵Logistics thread for today! There are several choices about where to gather at our protest tomorrow at 4:00. 1) I will be meeting a group at 305 Main Street where the bike path crosses. We will walk from there to the CVS four corners. 1/4

South County is ready!! New Englandahs are showing up rain or shine to stand with our country in solidarity as we save our democracy!! #socoresistance #handsoff

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?

Mail today! There is a link to print out

#socoresistance Bluesky friends! Posts have been a bit light and more to come. The person behind the post is catching up!

Federal judges delivered a series of rulings that could challenge President Donald Trump's agenda, with the news coming in quick succession. Judges temporarily blocked plans to fast-track deportations and to dismantle Voice of America and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. bit.ly/4hW1eY2
