The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

WATCH— @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Why are you making fun of smart people that calculate things?” Jessica points out Trump is making it seem like he paused all the tariffs but the Yale budget lab says those remaining will cost each 🇺🇸 household $4400, the highest tariff rate since 1909.

No single person should have the power to do what Trump is doing right now unilaterally dictating world trade & fucking with the world economy. No person should have that power. Certainly not in this country. Shame on you Congressional Republicans for giving it to him. Shame on you.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

We’re launching a new DNC War Room. We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day. At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country. He can’t go unchallenged.

He is literally just reciting a story from an episode of The West Wing

If you are not furious at what our government did to these people, there’s something wrong with you.

The importance of these protests isn’t necessarily that they are sending a message to the “people in power.” It’s sending a message to other people that WE have the power.

Thousands In Cincinnati! A blue city in a red state. #indivisible #handsoff

If you haven't figured out where you're protesting tomorrow, here's the place to find out. #handsoff thanks to all my colleagues @thirdactorg.bsky.social and everywhere else across this vast movement. handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=t...

Morning Skeeters! It's another day on the lol/cry rollercoaster. Take some deep breaths, call/text a friend, and make something nice for yourself. There are protests to join tomorrow if you're up for it. You got this. 🥰

Seems the Chicago event is at MAX capacity. I never even put our names on the list! Still going! On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/NxuWzK0a

Tomorrow is the day we take to the streets!!! WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT IN ANY STATE! On April 5, join us in a national movement to say Hands Off to the billionaire takeover & demand an end to corruption. We're fighting for a better future for all! social.demcast.com/s/FJLO4EdO

This is probably a really good time to remind everyone:

It's time for the biggest protest this country has seen in years: refuting Trump, Musk and their billionaire cronies. THIS SATURDAY there will be 1200+ rallies in all 50 states united by a simple message. HANDS OFF OUR FREEDOMS HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY HANDS OFF OUR ECONOMY handsoff2025.com

🚨Tariffs: 🚨 trump can EXEMPT from tariffs anyone he wants Read that again He controls who is charged & who is exempt 1️⃣He will SELL exemptions 2️⃣He will WITHHOLD exemptions He is a MOB BOSS collecting his PIZZO The absolute power here is insane!! shorturl.at/5FVBg

chef’s kiss

Who's got plans for Saturday, April 5? I sure as hell do.

Go Cory Go!!! I mean Senator Booker!!!

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I don’t think this can be emphasized enough:

If this isn’t classified, it should be, and regardless, there is no way in hell it should have been discussed during a Signal chat. Trying to place the blame on Goldberg and the Atlantic and LIE about what was in the chat won’t change the facts.

They…were…refugees…

Keep receipts of all the cowards who bent the knee for Trump. They made the wrong calculation and investment. They are misreading the moment and throwing us all under the bus for short term safety The country will wake up. It'll happen sooner than you think.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

We were told that if we could reach 5,000 followers by the end of the week, we could rename "Wells Avenue" to "Electric Avenue"! Tell your friends that the City of Reno is on Bluesky!

Terrible deal. I don’t understand how Trump, who has four years under his belt with Putin, constantly gets played. Trump moves to normalize relations with Russia for trinkets.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

🚨🚨 WISCONSIN 🚨🚨 Early voting starts TODAY! Susan Crawford is committed to standing up for everyday people, while her opponent Brad Schimel sued to take away health care from nearly a million Wisconsinites. Vote for Judge Crawford by April 1st! No better time than right now. #DemVoice1

I mean.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
