Congrats to all the organizers who made tonight happen, door by door, vote by vote. You didn’t despair despite the darkness. You got to work and harnessed the power of the people and reminded us of how it feels to hope. Thank you!

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

We happen to be in Asheville NC on vacation today so that’s where we showed up for #NoKings with thousands of people who believe in democracy and brought the signs and costumes and fierce joy to prove it

10 days until the biggest peaceful protests in modern American history. A No Kings Day event is likely happening near you wherever you are. Please join us to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Proud to march today with thousands of others who believe in a Free DC

DC communities are joyful, powerful— and we're under attack. "But, what can I do?" Glad you asked! Check this out or check out tons of opportunities on the full calendar here ⬇️

I’ve now read my alma mater Brown University’s agreement with the Administration, and I’m deeply troubled by numerous provisions in it, but the larger problem is that bargaining with lawless authoritarians gives them legitimacy. They aren’t settling a proper investigation, this was a shakedown. /1

"Different people in organizations will always get different things for various reasons, but the people in an organization must trust that the processes allocating opportunities and benefits are fundamentally fair and legitimate." New article by Ahmmad Brown and @femlaw.bsky.social:

Working IDEAL has a new podcast called Democracy, Equity and Inclusion. Because the fight to save our democracy goes right alongside the fight for equal opportunity. ow.ly/OL3350WlTt1

This is an important conversation and appreciate the data and perspective offered in the article and in the comments and critiques. One thing not mentioned - nonviolent protest is essential to engage more people in the fight. Larger numbers matter. And some will step up the ladder of engagement.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a mad king. In two days, we’re taking to the streets again to say NO KINGS. 2,000 peaceful protests are planned in small towns and major cities across the country. Join your community on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions. It's easy - here is how: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

I am sharing this open letter, signed by 10 former Department of Labor Officials, including me, that we just released this morning. bit.ly/ContractorOp...

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering takedown of Trump's lawlessness. Importantly, Obama also offered Dems a way to argue that Trump's dictatorial abuses of power and his imminent wreckage of the economy are the same story. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

A key step in fighting the Trump admin's attacks on higher education specifically and democracy more broadly is to say as clearly as we can that we share values that are meaningful and that we will not stand by while our institutions are destroyed. You can do that here: bit.ly/DemocracyAndHigherEd

I spoke with @audiosand.bsky.social for @npr.org All Things Considered about the fact that the "Anti-DEI" movement is an anti-Civil Rights Movement. www.npr.org/2025/03/17/n...

So America is fighting with Canada (!) And cozying up to Russia (!) and shredding longstanding pro-democracy alliances. As someone who personally lived through “tear down this wall” and 9/11 I’m appalled the Republican Party now endorses this.

Out today from David. This is my family and our children. Share widely please.

Jenny R. Yang and I have a few words to say about why the current federal government's intentional campaign of fear and intimidation against fundamental principles of equal opportunity is contrary to law, to good business and to core American values fortune.com/2025/02/20/t...

This is how it works - collective action doesn’t just happen by magic. You need this step by step work assembling supporters. It will feel like nothing is happening then everything. The protests starting up. Those DOJ resignations. The pressure is building. Make some more calls.

Every Democrat in the US Senate could learn a little lesson from Wendy Davis right now. It wasn’t just that she held the floor, but that she turned a procedural thing into a huge story, and it captured people’s attention.

Hello, just joined up. The times may be dark but I’m doing my part to hand out the flashlights. Excited to meet fellow members of Team Democracy and other Good Troublers and Organizers.
