TOMORROW: We’re teaming up with @detentionwatchnetwork.org and more partners for a training on hosting actions in defense of immigrants in your community. Join us as we build momentum for the national day of action on April 25 to oppose Trump’s mass detention agenda.

“…when we leave this church this night, we must move beyond prayer. We must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders…as disciples called to be peacemakers, we must answer vocally and in unison: No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.” adw.org/news/massfor...

Primaries are for your hopes and dreams, and general elections are for beating the fucking fascists.

'An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’”' www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Trump’s transformation on the topic, if we even want to call it that, was mostly an effort to make it appear publicly like he was always on board with being forced by Congress to do something that he could’ve easily done without forcing Congress to force him to do it — if he wanted to.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

It’s a beautiful day to protest fascism.

We are Americans. We are free. And we do not do kings here. #NoKings

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Democrats: Please give the American people health care. Trump: Go fuck yourself.

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

The last three events I’ve spoken at have been completely sold out. And it’s not because of my speaking skills. It’s because people are pissed. That energy is palpable everywhere I go.

Rumors aren't facts. But last fall the Finance/DC corridor was awash in chatter that bribes and cash payments were flying fast and furious. Given the nature of this crew, essentially zero chance Homan was alone in this.

Regimes think twice before escalating repression if they know it only ends up growing the opposition. We need your help to make No Kings Day as big, powerful and effective as possible. Please pitch in if you can to support safety and security training, event promotion, and marches in anchor cities.

"Since 2002, right-wing ideologies have fueled more than 70% of all extremist attacks and domestic terrorism plots in the United States, according to the Anti-Defamation League." -- so call them out as liars when they say otherwise www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Time Magazine article from Feb 13, 1939.

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

Tell the House to investigate government censorship of Jimmy Kimmel Live! act.indivisible.org/sign/censors...

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

If Democrats stay united in the government funding fight, they can stop or even reverse some of Trump’s cruel healthcare cuts and lawless power grabs. That means it's extra important for our Democratic Members of Congress to hear from us right now: indivisible.org/camp...

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

This is exceptional. Everyone should read it. At its core it’s inspiring and hopeful about the ability of determined lawyers and judges to use the law to protect those Trump and his followers would harm. But it’s also devastating. I never much believed in evil, but I do now.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies. He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

For those who truly treasure every life, violence is heartbreaking. It’s up to us—people of faith and goodwill—to turn our pain and anger into acts of love and healing. To work for reconciliation, understanding, and respect.

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves. I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct. I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

Excited about this new series!

Be sure to guard your imagination too! Thanks for the reminder and the example, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

contrarian.substack.com/p/even-feder... Perhaps this sort of open revolt from lower court judges will break through the veil of arrogance that seems to insulate Roberts and the other MAGA rubber-stampers from entirely justified criticism.

Should the government shut down? Should Democrat Senators go along with the GOP like some of them did in March 2025? @indivisible.org has a position. If you agree, please take some action, whether you're in a Red State or Blue State. indivisible.org/campaign/car...

Shutdown threats aren’t inevitable — they’re a choice driven by division and dangerous agendas. CALL NOW: Demand your GOP Senator Commit to a Bipartisan Funding Process indivisible.org/resource/cal...

So, Chicago, thwart. Thwart like lives depend on it because they do. This was long and nobody'll read the whole thing, but man it felt good to write because, for the time being, LA fucking won. 11/end

So, Chicago, it's your turn now and man, I am so so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. This is awful. This is fascism. Organize. Step up. Don't think other people will do it -- the might, maybe even they will, but they need you, too. Be like LA -- be sand in their gears. 9/

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
