Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Harvard leading the way.👇🏻

“You must find a way to get in the way.” -- Jon Lewis

The Big Beautiful Billionaire Boys Bill is not just irresponsible. It's cruel, un-American, and dangerous. It's the biggest transfer of wealth in American history. You entitled fucks. #USDemocracy

“Ultimately what we are now witnessing is the cumulative effect of greed on mankind. The destruction of nature for profit, the destruction of our democracy to serve the needs of the wealthiest among us.”

The Bulwark Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

To be clear: Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all. Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal. The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

DHS Sec Kristi Noem testifying on DHS budget today, and Sen. Chris Murphy begins by eviscerating everything she's been doing so far. "You are illegally refusing to spend funds appropriated by this Congress... Routinely violating the rights of immigrants... Your agency acts as if laws don't matter."

We must fight to save PBS and NPR.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

My wife and I are proud sustaining members of @npr.org and @pbsnews.org We will increase our monthly donation to help these trusted organizations continue playing a vital role in our nation's news ecosystem. If you agree, support your local public radio and television station today. #FuckTrump

Who agrees?👋🏾👋🏾

Yeah!

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has won the Webby Award for 2025 Podcast of the Year! Thank you for this incredible honor. None of this would be possible without this incredible pro-democracy community. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

I am disappointed that today I’m paying taxes to fund government efforts to stop preventing disease and starvation overseas rather than paying taxes to support government efforts to prevent disease and starvation overseas.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Huge crowd tonight on Vancouver Island to see MP Charlie Angus speak at the “Canada Resistance Tour”—and an amazing shoutout to MeidasTouch from the Maple Meidas in Cumberland, Port Alberni, K’ómoks First Nation, Nanaimo, and the Comox Valley.

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Karolyn Levitt the liar behind the lectern.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Elections have consequences

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Chantal Herbert has been right all along. #cdnpoli

I voted today! As did my husband and son. No line, smiling faces, no stress down at our local Elections Canada office! There is NO excuse for not voting in this most consequential Federal Election. I You don’t have to wait for April 28th! #vote early!

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

We the People- @booker.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @maddow.msnbc.com

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.
