I’d prefer to talk about food but the fcked up state of the world keeps getting in the way. My motto: Skepticism saves lives! Looking for the helpers Mr Rogers told us about. Nazi punks can still FCK OFF

TONIGHT: Let’s talk about what’s next. The leaders of the historic Hands Off! protests will share plans for our next steps (including upcoming nationwide actions on May 1) to continue demonstrating the scale of our movement. We hope to see you there. 👇

ICYMI Miller, who is Jewish and whose family immigrated from what’s now Belarus, enjoyed seeing photos of children in cages as the result of the policy he designed during Trump v1. More on this POS from @splcenter.org

It appears that the guy who tried to burn down Gov. Shapiro’s house on Passover was – predictably – a MAGA white supremacist. The normalization of political violence on the right is terrifying.

“As Jews around the world gather to mark Passover and celebrate God's deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, we have decided to send more people in the U.S. to a slave prison camp in El Salvador.”

Now is a good moment for a refresher on the 1st amendment. Because it's under attack. #4The1st

Reminder: the horrific war on Ukraine continues despite our Dear Leader’s promise to end it before his inauguration.

San Francisco turned out for the People’s March to fight fascism today. I love this city. 👏🌉👏

Another Saturday, another protest.

Sums up why we are NOT opening a new restaurant anytime soon

San Francisco friends, TOMORROW is “a march and rally supporting everyone under attack by the current government administration.” And if you’re not under attack, you lucky bastard, someone you care about IS. Show up and help stop this crap before they come for your freedoms too!

Trump says he wants a big, beautiful budget bill—there is NOTHING beautiful about gutting Medicaid for seniors, children and veterans.... #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Today the likelihood went up that in the next few years you will have friends or colleagues or people in your community or members of your family picked up by the government and sent to a prison or out of the country or otherwise punished for unjust reasons without regard for the rule of law.

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

I’m finally coming down off my Democracy high from Saturday. Shoutout to my fellow peacekeepers. We met good people (and dogs!), saw a ton of clever signs, and had a mini dance party when a DJ posted up by us. I love my beautiful, peaceful, pissed off city! @indivisiblesf.bsky.social #sanfrancisco

In their endless search for a problem that doesn’t exist, House Republicans’ SAVE Act is yet another bogus attempt to suppress the vote. Only this time, they’re coming after 69 million women who deserve to have their voices heard. #HandsOffHerVote

Millions of American women will not be able to vote if this bill becomes law. The SAVE Act is a THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY that will limit access to the polls, gut the National Voter Registration Act, and lead to voter purges. We must stop this bill! Listen ⬇️ #HandsOffHerVote

For starters: they have no plan for evacuating shackled prisoners in case of emergency!

The White House posted this about three hours ago. The White House. What the fuck have we become???

Can he just stand in front of the White House 24/7 please

One of my favorite things I saw at the Hands Off protest in San Francisco today

#HandsOff Hands Off Hampton Roads, Norfolk , VA

My 84 y/o dad went to the Hands Off protest in Norfolk, home of an enormous military industrial complex. As a retired history professor and a veteran he has pretty strong feelings. He doesn’t get around as well as he used to, but he wasn’t going to miss this! (several thousand people showed up!)

“it seems counterintuitive for public money to be deliberately wasted on detaining illegal aliens with the will and means to return home…in Trump’s America, a tourist who makes a mistake can be locked up, seemingly indefinitely.” The cruelty is the point.

Trump's tariffs are the economic equivalent of burning down your house to kill a spider. But it sounds like he’s having a great weekend of golf!

"The Heard and McDonald Islands have exploited our nation’s economy for decades. Now, instead of paying exorbitantly high prices for penguin-made products, American consumers will revitalize the American ice and freshly vomited fish industries."

This is too good. A+ to the creator.

Indeed.

Add this to the list of WTF

American Empire is in decline.

🚨NEW ELEVEN FILMS🚨 Our first amendment rights are being ripped away by the Trump administration. What else are they willing to do? Please watch & share: #4The1st

Turns out Americans prefer - 2 to 1 - democratic messaging over MAGA. Keep fighting my blue friends. Keep fighting!! #HandsOff www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Another way this regime is trying to kill us. Their response when it happens: Oopsie 🤷

Don’t look at what’s in front of you, look at this shiny object over here! 🤥🤥🤥
