I'm attending Indivisible Amity's event, “Hands OFF with Indivisible Amity on Patriot's Day!” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

i hope that includes filing for impeachment all day everyday while blocking all legislation and confirmations until he's removed from office

BREAKING: U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled Wednesday that there is “probable cause” to hold Trump administration officials in “criminal contempt” for violating his March order halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

Barnes & Noble in Georgetown with a stark “Bohemian Rhapsody”-referencing book display this weekend.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

we need to be saying again and again and again that even if 100% of these people had a criminal record none of this would be okay. people who are criminalized are humans and deserve human rights. people are systematically criminalized based solely on the color of their skin, poverty, language etc

Shoplifters aim too low. People out there trying to take a candy bar when it’s easier to walk out of the store with the entire world economy

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

Should. Legal. Meaningless these days.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

In 1870, life expectancy in the United States was 39.4 years. In 2024, it was 78 years.

It's got to be set on a "dead man's switch" right? Log in every half hour or a habeas petition is filed based on the last location your phone pinged from — that's certainly the history and tradition they taught at Scalia Law 🙃

Lord have mercy. Because clearly we don’t anymore. Shame. Shame! Shame, #SCOTUS.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like SCOTUS just said the government is allowed to disappear anyone it wants from the street and throw them into a Central American torture pit as long as they give the victims a chance to say "wait, what" before the most conservative district court in the system?

I noted recently that I have a very significant trade deficit with farmers. In fact, I don't grow any food and they don't buy anything from me. I haven't calculated the tariffs I should impose to stop them from ripping me off by providing me with food to buy. /sarcasm

I’m not doomscrolling … I’m just scrolling and there happens to be nothing but doom.

Dear god someone take the social media and Sharpie away from this person and get him some help

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

Same.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so. thegriffinlist.com

Personally I’d rather have a Secretary of HHS who prevented my child’s death than one who attended their funeral. Vaccines save lives. It is 2025. Kids in the US do not have to die of vaccine-preventable disease anymore.

ABC NEWS: Thousands of protesters have flooded the streets of Boston demonstrating in the anti-Trump "Hands Off!" rally. It's one of 1,200 other protests unfolding in all 50 states across the country.

US revokes all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders, accusing the African nation’s gov't of not accepting the repatriation of its nationals and “taking advantage of the US”.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Imagine being so hated that people all over the country march in the streets to say how much you suck.

Beautiful! (And: See any cops?)

And so the cancelling of elections begins.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Weird, sure.

It's getting buried, but Houston will almost certainly not have representation in Congress until January 2027. Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died nearly a month ago and Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has simply decided not to call a special election to fill the seat.
