Anti-ICE protest in Austin TX yesterday. Turnout was so high that I could barely see the stage. People are fired up.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

someone should make a list of every company with maga leadership, from local small businesses to massive corporations so we can boycott them. I vote with my dollars and don’t want to support fascists

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

Good turnout today at the #nokings rally in Austin

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes. Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

The absolute minimum that congressional dems should be demanding re:shutdown is to stop the illegal impoundments. Like, what is the point of a budget if Trump can just ignore it? If republicans want to keep this clown show going they can kill the filibuster and pass it themselves.

This article about Madrid’s metro system has some great insights about how its growth was quick, cheap, and of good quality. They identified 4 key points that made it possible and successful. Great read. worksinprogress.co/issue/how-ma...

Trump putting his name on projects from Biden’s infrastructure bill he didn’t support is actually crazy

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

This tactical urbanism is kinda cool

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

I mean this is just unbelievable — they don't even know what's in THEIR OWN DAMN BILL. This provision guts renewable energy and they have no clue know where it came from?? This entire process is rotten to its core.

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

This is quite the headline. Pakistan condemns Trump's bombing of Iran - a day after nominating him for Peace Prize - www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Any congressional dem who doesn’t come out against these strikes needs to be primaried

Any corporate executive who signs off on a bribe to Trump should be prepared to explain their crimes in front of Congress and to the public when Democrats retake power

Trump’s go-to line about every foreign policy crisis and war - from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to October 7th, to the Israel’s devastation of Gaza - was “It would never have happened if I was president.” Welp.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

“I could” Seems pretty relevant.

In 100 days Donald Trump has FAILED and BETRAYED our country. He’s tearing up our Constitution, tearing down our economy and tearing apart our government — all to rig everything to serve the interests of his billionaire pals. We WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING for one second.

Happy earth day!

This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity *ever* for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.

Google’s motto used to be “don’t be evil”

Other Countries & Harvard fought Trump's absurd & confused demands, and Trump blinked. Big Law & Columbia complied with Trump's absurd & confused demands, and Trump kept pushing for more. Seems like there is a lesson about how to deal with corrupt & incompetent & insane bullies?

And the broader point to democrats, “just do stuff.” Some will work, Some won’t, But do it

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The message from the Left should be: tariffs bad, industrial policy good. Sure, there are niche cases where tariffs might be useful as part of industrial policy, but it really weakens the message to add qualifiers. Fight unreservedly against the thing destroying the economy.

Hopefully I’m wrong, but I think that the China tariffs will stay on. It’s hard for me to see Trump backing down from this fight - he can’t be the first to blink. There will be a breaking point but it will be resolved by some actor.

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

Boston has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

We are going to have a long, hot summer.

So what happens when congress revokes Trump’s tariffs but he continues to implement them?

Someone please make that hitler bunker meme but with Trump and tariffs
