Denver - peacefully standing up for Democracy. @maddow.msnbc.com

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

These billboards line the streets around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

My daughter , wife & I at today’s protest in Plymouth , Ma. They’re the reason I fight!

Harrisburg Pennsylvania April 19th.

@abc15.com @fox10phoenix.bsky.social Why no coverage for the local protests? Get out there and support us!

People power is so fucking rad. #HandsOff #Baltimore

The mainstream media likes to talk about the arbitrary difference of Americans: white, brown, rich, poor, blue-collar, or white-collar. But we, the people, are showing them we are one people. With one love of freedom. Don't ever let them separate us again; work together to strengthen our country

Simultaneously the most wholesome response to RFK so far and also somehow the biggest flex

They're so dumb they're kicking our brilliant asses left and right.

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for the #NoKings protests! Got to meet my friend @jaybird54.bsky.social and her husband there. It’s always fun to resist this fascists regime with friends! Get out there and have your voices be heard.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

“Free speech and due process is everyone’s right!” New York is out to save our democracy! #50501movement #NewYork #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

Stay awesome and strong 🙏💙🥰 #Resist 💙🙏🍀🫂🌥️💕 fiftyfifty.one

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump admin from deporting Venezuelans out of the Bluebonnet facility in TX — for now. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has NO place in modern immigration policy. This pause is a win, but the fight is far from over. And yes — Thomas & Alito dissented. Of course they did.

#SOUTHCAROLINA ! Charleston represented this morning with a THOUSAND people in attendance! Lemme see your pictures from around the state! (Other states welcome too😉)

Show up and #Protest!!!

The fact that an entire administration and fully 40% of America thinks it’s ok to send people to a concentration camp in the middle of nowhere, without an OUNCE of evidence they committed a crime is INSANE! It’s more shocking and frightening than anything I have seen from my countryman.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Trump is breaking the law. How is that not in the headline?

Be safe out there. Tomorrow Drumpf might invoke the insurrection act and declare martial law (remember that 90 day deadline thing) Make today a rad day.

Questions that need to be asked in all future SCOTUS confirmation hearings: 1) how do you feel about the Constitution? 2) how do you feel about using the Constitution to uphold the law of the land? 3) do you consider yourself or has anyone ever accused you of being morally bankrupt?

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule. It’s an essential step in effecting change.

Buffalo NY is already kicking it off!

I've covered Van Hollen since circa 1999. He's actually not a "grandstander." In his first Congressional bid, he was the workhorse vs the showhorse. He out-hustled Mark Shriver who had far more money and had been on the cover of Time Magazine as a next-gen Kennedy. He won with an army of volunteers.

All of these Executive Orders targeting 501c3 orgs next week are nuts if true, but stripping charity status from all involved in climate change would be monumentally destructive. And of course all of this is illegal and fascist.

I think we are well past that point already. But as I started saying two and a half months ago, the administration will at some juncture openly state that it is defying court orders. And that will happen very soon.

Protesters are out in Munich, Germany with the 50501 movement to protest Donald Trump. Love to see it!

I will

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

As a lawyer, I can tell you why Abrego Garcia must remain in El Salvador. If he were free, he could sue me for defamation and win. by Pam Bondi

More women than men are viewing climate change as their top political issue. While this trend has been true for a while the gender gap grew significantly in recent years according to a new report by the Environmental Voter Project. 19thnews.org/2025/04/wome...

We need 3.5% of the population out protesting. Peaceful protest. We need a huge wave of people.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she & Senator Wyden are introducing a bill to end the state of emergency which has given the president the power to set tariffs and control the stock market. Contact your Senator at (202) 224-2131 and ask them to vote that there’s NOT an economic emergency.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.
