A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht. Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island. Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars. We must fight back with all we've got.

My garden says hi!

Amazing John Singer Sargent show at the Met in NYC. Go and enjoy.

Powerful statement by Jake Tapper of CNN on Shari Redstone's firing of CBS 60 Minutes' Bill Owens. His parting shot? "Hope the money's worth it, Shar."

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Hillsdale NJ shows up!

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Hey, Chuck, are you saying Trump has the power bring the Tate Bros (who were LEGALLY indicted, in jail, & awaiting trial) back to the US but he's POWERLESS to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the US (who was sent, by ERROR, to a concentration camp in overses with NO indictments in CRIMINAL court?

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

“In this arena there are hundreds of Alexandrias” Bernie calls on folks to oppose establishment candidates and run for office like @aoc.bsky.social did

Private prisons are absolutely evil. If you’re profiting off of a corrupt system at the expense of hostages snatched off the street then you are indeed subhuman. If you’re buying stock in private prisons, you are below contempt. Slavery, trafficking, whatever you want to call it.

I came here to say this! What could be more craven. Prison for profits. Incentivizing incarceration. Only the most despicable people would participate in this.

📖 OUT NOW ‘The Prison Industry’ By @biancatylek.bsky.social and @worthrises.bsky.social, the leaders in “exposing the immoral profiteering by companies feasting at the trough of incarceration” Mapping the corp-govt collusion in profiting off over-policing, mass incarceration and mass surveillance

Jan 2024: Musk quietly and rapidly began building a low-orbit Direct-to-Cell constellation, in which 265 satellites operational, just two weeks before the Nov 5 election. These low-orbit satellites effectively place the equivalent of a hacker's "Stingray" device in every voting precinct in America.

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

These are the signs of the times — as demonstrated in today’s Hands Off! WE ARE THE OPPOSITION!!

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

The first hopeful thing that’s happened since January.

There seems to be an effort coming from dubious accounts to encourage us to stay home on April 5. I’m begging you to disregard this. They fear our power when we mobilize. That’s why they are trying to trick you into staying home. See you out there April 5, National Day of Action!
