The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

@50501movement.bsky.social INCREDIBLE TURNOUT IN TROY MI

It took Donald Trump a little more than two months to completely squander any kind of postelection goodwill he had. His approval rating has steadily dipped from 47% to 45% to 43%, according to Gallup….. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Will you be at any of the Michigan protests [email protected] @peters.senate.gov

Federal workers are our friends. Our neighbors. Our family members. They serve our communities and make our country better. We're grateful to have an AG in @dananessel.bsky.social who's standing up for Michigan workers and communities.

Gotta love Bernie! ❤️ Still. In. It. To. Win. It. 😎✨

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," and wants to fire thousands of workers that keep the program running. That might be easy for a billionaire to say, but Social Security is a lifeline for millions of Americans. We must fight to protect it.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to track and expose Donald Trump's attacks on democracy. Its work is more vital today than ever before. Fiercely independent and unapologetically pro-democracy, it will never bow down. Join today to support its vital work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Donald Trump preys off people feeling hopeless and being too scared to fight. I won't let Trump take away my hope or make me too afraid to stand tall and fight. I continue to believe that if we fight for democracy we will win.

We are mobilizing along side @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @voicesofflorida.bsky.social and Women’s March. It’s time for the People to unite. April 1st - Special Elections to potentially tie up the House. April 5th - Make our voices heard. #thepeoplesmovement #handsoff

1. EXCLUSIVE An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency. The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Mark your calendars. Remove, Reverse, Reclaim rally at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing on Saturday, April 5, 2025. More details soon.

ELISSA SLOTKIN AND GARY PETERS: VOTE NO!

ATTENTION: SENATORS GARY PETERS AND ELISSA SLOTKIN:

If Democrats don’t protect norms and intuitions, no one else will. You can’t count on Senator Ted Cruz to defend free and fair elections, or Speaker Mike Johnson to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights. And it’s unlikely Senator Susan Collins, despite her… www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Senator Gary Peters and Senator Elissa Slotkin

Hope to see Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters at the Lansing capital protest tomorrow/Tuesday. #elissaslotkin, #garypeters

No Senator was elected to let the President or some unaccountable billionaire decide how YOUR tax dollars get spent. Let me be clear: CONGRESS holds the power of the purse, and NO President can unilaterally abolish an entire agency or ignore our appropriations laws.

"'Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke,' Jane Fonda said, and added a money quote that MAGA opponents should repeat on a loop right through 2028: 'Woke just means you give a damn about other people.'"

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #PoliticalRevolution #BuildTheResistance #EconomicBlackout @polrev.bsky.social

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

@novidems.bsky.social Will Novi Dems have a presence at a protest on March 4?

After the disturbing news this morning about the Washington Post's opinion section, Democracy Docket sent out the following. If you want to support its commitment to pro-democracy news, information, opinion and analysis, become a member today. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Does anyone know of events in Michigan?
