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.

Well, look at that.

Trump’s Liberation Day was really Obliteration Day. Trump is only concerned with his billionaire tax cuts, not American workers and families.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

I wish reporters would talk about his cognitive decline but they don’t appear to be interested. They certainly loved to discuss Biden’s aging.

Trump's tariffs are opportunities for Republicans to solicit bribes. He'll make exemptions on enforcing the tariffs, and those exemptions will be based on whether MAGA likes or doesn't like certain people. And MAGA likes people who give them money.

From the guy saying George Soros is paying Tesla protestors. Every accusation is confession.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

Love the music!

Woo hoo, MSU advances to the Elite Eight. Let’s go!!

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

Trump is privately warning CEOs of automakers not to hike prices when his tariffs hit. This blows up Trump's lies about the tariffs, because it shows he knows they'll push up costs in the US, and knows "other countries" don't pay them! New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1933...

If Mr. Schumer spent a fraction as much time pushing an aggressive policy vision for the Democratic Party as he's spent the past week calling lawmakers, donors, and organizations to save his own hide, he wouldn't be in this situation, nor would we. Sign the petition: www.change.org/p/boycott-co...

In the past 36 hours, momentum has accelerated in asking Senate Democrats to replace Mr. Schumer as leader and some of it from surprising sources. I wrote a quick summary here. Read it, share it, and sign the petition: charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/calls-grow...

On Tuesday’s All In with Chris Hayes, Chuck Schumer said he was not ready to declare we are in a constitutional crisis. Today, he changed his tune on Meet the Press. Guess he has been reading his press. He still must go.

In town halls and on social media, people are asking where are our leaders. We do need stronger voices and stronger actions from the dems in Congress but we must also remember that WE must be leaders. Go to town halls, call your representatives DAILY, protest, volunteer in your local county party.

Republicans need to be more afraid of their constituent’s views at town halls than what Trump or Musk think. Speak up. Make your voice heard.

Stay away from these engines of death !
