North Carolina voted for Trump in all three of his POTUS elections. As North Carolinians struggle to recover from Hurricane Helene, Trump just denied their FEMA request. Conservative voters: Understand this—he does not care about you. He never has. Stop voting for him. He will destroy you, too.

Glasgow right now

Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

💥 BREAKING: The Heritage Foundation withdrew its anti-DEI proposal to IBM for shareholder vote today, originally submitted for vote at IBM's annual meeting. Why Heritage withdrew its anti-DEI proposal is unknown. Earlier today, shareholders at American Express voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

This whole clip is truly unbelievably great. I am genuinely astounded by how good this is.

Handy guide here, use publicsq.com to boycott MAGA businesses... "HuffPost reported that one of Don Jr’s other major business enterprises is a website called PublicSquare that he started two years ago which contains a listing of MAGA-friendly businesses who, according to Junior, “share our values.”

Chuck Schumer needs to move his ass on down the road. Enough of people wanting to stick around because of their ego (and that's precisely what it is). They are NOT thinking of us...when they decide to stay forever. It's one of the most selfish...and dangerous things any politician ever does.

Dem’s project 2029 part 6

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

Pretty sure the next few months are gonna radicalize quite a lot of us. May we always be radicalized toward love for all humans. (And have a good sense of humor about it).

ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime. This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month. #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

A broke and destitute citizenry is a scared citizenry. A fearful citizenry is more docile and less willing to take risks and fight for their rights. They clutch what they have left close to their chest and obey. It's what he wants. Let's deny this motherfucker what he wants.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I’ve asked this question before. Now I’m SHOUTING it. Where the HELL are the Democrats? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/where-the-hell-are-the-democrats

I have read the Signal chats released today by @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social In my professional opinion, having represented officials within the IC for over 15 years, there is no realistic or credible argument that these details were unclassified. These are military operational details and 1/

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Executive summary of the difference between Blue and Red states.

Italy has suspended the Starlink $1.6 billion purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk being a Nazi and a Trump / Russia collaborator. Italy cites security concerns about the reliability of the US.

psssst unions are so scary they took down our website with worker organizing resources sure would be a shame if we all shared this

We’re not even slightly exaggerating. In his own words, Sen. Lee: youtu.be/aK_poqtwrZA?...

NONE of this is normal

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. — ‪Chris Hayes

MAGA is mad that Trump stripping my non existent security clearance means literally nothing and is funny. THEYRE SO MAD!!!

Kudos to this judge! 🏆

Have you heard of Plan 2028? "...building power will require a long-term strategy that starts with organizing now... and that seeks governing power to change the rules of the game altogether." - @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social #solidarity #AltGov

Wisconsin voters: Early voting is now underway! Have you voted yet? Or made a voting plan? If not, do it now. If you care about democracy, it’s time to cast your ballot and recruit friends to vote for Susan Crawford. Find your polling place for early in-person voting at wisdems.org/vote

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now. Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion. . johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-its-not...

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

What do you actually DO when Medicaid gets CUT and your elderly parent can’t afford the nursing home? What do you DO about frightening new threats like the return of MEASLES? What do you DO to protect your identity & finances from a runaway DOGE? Please share. Please read… SURVIVING THE GOP:

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

This is where we are, America. Be ready.
