A federal appeals court today upheld a block on Trump’s executive order that seeks to strip babies born in the United States of their U.S. citizenship. The Constitution is clear — if you are born in the United States, you’re a citizen. Another hard won victory for democracy!

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Trump: “It’s a war from within. We have to handle it before it gets out of control.” Translation: Lots of Americans are anti-fascist. They are too smart and empathetic for our racist, xenophobic, elitist propaganda to work on so we need to have a civil war before we lose this manufactured crisis.

I would like to add that they are talking about an informational Aramageddon and Apocalypse. With armageddon we have a change and the apocalypse is just the end.

Happy Equinox!

EXCLUSIVE: Fired DOJ prosecutor Maurene Comey sends message to former colleagues, warning that ‘Fear is the tool of the tyrant.’

This is not ok.

I forgot to add her name. Thank you Elizabeth MacDonough!

Is it my imagination or has the Senate Parliamentarian done more to save our country than any elected official?

I saw @theauthorguy.bsky.social at a @bookshopsantacruz.bsky.social event tonight. He talked about his new book, Anima Rising. It sounds fabulous. It was great to see him in person and he signed my old favorites from college. Then I went to East Cliff to check on the ocean.

🤬 there so much chaos created I order to make people tired and discouraged. This is one for me to pay attention to.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Spread this around, please! If its old numbers let me know.

Thank you. Stay safe everyone.

I am very stoked about this event!

Senator Padilla pledged to help us answer some questions on why California’s workers are being hunted down like prey. He’s doing his best to get some answers.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

On an Ice Raid in LA!

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

😳WATCH & SHARE — NURSE: “These Republican Medicaid/Medicare cuts will cause chaos, kill the disabled & elderly, hurt rural 🇺🇸, and impact everyone… it’s unpopular — That’s why they did it at 1AM. CALL YOUR SENATORS.” www.instagram.com/reel/DJ_0Sj0...

This is good to see. We’ve stopped shopping there and it would be nice to return if they have dei again.

Good news. The American empire is falling. Bad news. I’m an American

“Fear has a way of being contagious. ... And we are witnessing that, no doubt,” Harris said at the gathering of female leaders of color. “But I say this also, my dear friends, courage is also contagious,” she added. www.cnn.com/2025/04/04/p...

I see this as a positive.

No matter who you are, you have certain legal rights if you get stopped by the police. It’s more important than ever to know what they are. Check out our latest video and guide to find out what you need to know to protect yourself, your family and your community. www.aclunc.org/our-work/kno...

The 1st number is what the White House claimed other countries charge us in tariffs, the 2nd number is what they actually charge. The White House lies to you. Again. (charts from CNBC)

Right....

It is heartbreaking to watch.

A small happiness is finding an author you like has multiple novels you have not yet read.

I noticed in Lion King and the new Mufasa movie that the dead parent is the father and not the usual mother.

Well that’s enough doom scrolling for the morning! Off for coffee and calling Congress about the latest messed up shit.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Interesting as in I might want a whiskey while I watch.

The snatching of students off the streets is terrifying. Anyone remember Chile in 1973?

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

I am looking forward to a rally here in California!

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

And that’s on that 😌

Bye IMLS. This quote is chilling. "We will revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations,” said Acting Director Sonderling." #IMLS www.imls.gov/news/keith-e...

Well it isn’t very shocking right?

I'm still putting the story together. I'm sharing limited info and request for more info anyone seeing this message might have. I understand that DOGE showed up today at the Institute of Museum and Library Services and rapidly began sending employees home. This was presaged in an executive order...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Destroying the stock market is also a way to ruin middle class retirement and savings. Workers have all been pushed into the market instead of pensions. #stockmarket #genx #tariffs

Trump claims he “brought free speech back” after removing a man from exercising his free speech. #StateOfTheUnion
