NEW: Judge Xinis orders the govt to "take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States as soon as possible." She also directs the govt to file a status update on Abrego Garcia by tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Higher education and scientific research in the United States are under attack, threatening a major pillar of American greatness. Prof. Sam Wang Princeton University

Why didn't Circuit Breakers trigger today? Explanation 👇

He might, however, be willing to support fallacies that don't lose our wealth.

Some of us have been pointing out this trend this for a while. Dems need to spend the next decade building brand loyalty at the local level in rural America or they are done in the Senate in all but the biggest D wave years. So far DNC leaders have no strategy to accomplish this

We’re launching a new DNC War Room. We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day. At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country. He can’t go unchallenged.

BREAKING: The 4th Circuit has *denied* the Trump administration's effort to resist an order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by midnight tonight. Judge Xinis' order is still in effect. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I'm serious about pushing Republicans on impeachment this week. Think about it. There will never be a better chance. Rich people losing their wealth is the *only* thing that can move the needle on this. Not fascism, not racism, not the destruction of public health. This is it.

hi, political scientist here! this is not funny, pod save guys only do this when Democratic Party elites aren’t standing up to fascism

saw a "Congress needs to remove Trump from office" and here's the thing: you can go 18 steps down in the succession order and still be hitting completely insane partisan appointees we have locked ourselves into uncharted territory. we are at a point where there is no purely constitutional remedy

North Carolina Democratic Party is lining up advance volunteers in case we have to call all 60000 voters - sign up on mobilize via NCDP.

The next #nationwide #event is here! The People's Protest is coming, #Chicago. April 19 Daley Plaza 12-2PM #Trump & his ppl want us mad & hopeless. We're angry, never hopeless. This admin can 'seemingly' do whatever they want, but we won’t let them take our #JOY #usa #democracy #protest #peace #Love

Asks to Universities/colleges are 3-fold: (1) daily check to see if visas have been revoked (2) provide immigration counsel upon visa revocation, & (3) keep students enrolled. @aaup.bsky.social

3 million people in the streets and NYT relegated it to page 18 - it doesn't mean protest is futile, it means that the NYT editorial stance is acquiescence at best. And that's 3 million people who'll see that for themselves. The collision of their experience vs its portrayal.

Hello! We are a scrappy three-year-old civics blog based in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC. We just updated thegriffinlist.com, which contains detailed instructions for 65,000 NC voters whose votes might be thrown out in the state Supreme Court race. Please share!

can you help us get this out? bsky.app/profile/tria...

We have moved the update to the top of the website and added additional questions to the faq, based on emails. Please share this with your neighbors on other social media platforms.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The first marches let people know they are not alone. The next marches show how many people are ready. The final marches make those in power listen.

The revolution will not be televized

every community that held a #handsoff rally should start a blog blog. it’s the antithesis to apathy and performative politics, and it’s hilariously funny. we have a good time and we get results: we helped increase voter turnout by almost 30% in 2023 local elections.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Thousands and thousands of people at Civic Center SF, @indivisible.org organizers doing a great job teaching people why confronting aggressive counter protesters ( I haven’t seen any) plays into the autocrat playbook

The despair in her voice is palpable. Horrific.

Did we finally make it above the fold on @nytimes.com? #handsoff

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Heard Island and McDonald Islands have seen a dramatic warming since 1940. The penguins there have enough to deal with even without the 10% tariffs just imposed on them.

We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people. Stay tuned for more.

Woke up, remembered that Schumer barreled in and stepped all over whatever Booker had planned for the moment when he passed Thurmond, immediately started ranting like Pacino in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Looks like we are now under attack at Princeton University. Battle stations.

For 15 hours and counting, Senator Booker has been holding the line on the Senate floor, speaking out against Trump, Musk, and the GOP’s reckless agenda. This is the kind of relentless resistance our democracy demands. Keep going, Senator.

Time to speak up

Elon Musk’s DOGE role draws effort to force Tesla to close Missouri dealerships www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news...

Tesla Takedown is great. I wonder if we can focus our energy on pressuring state and local lawmakers to (a) revoke Tesla storeroom permits and (b) divest state owned holdings from Tesla (and hedge out Tesla exposure in index fund holdings) #teslatakedown @teslatakedown.com

These protests are an example of a network effect, where 10x the participants can have 100x the effect. Thoughts on why it works, and how it's hard to get started...but once started, such efforts can grow rapidly. samwang.substack.com/p/network-ef...

“Too many law firms are silent, and the risks right now to the legal profession and to the country are too great.” - Elliot Peters

UPDATE: Alireza Doroudi — an Iranian University of Alabama engineering PhD student detained by ICE yesterday — is being held in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana. The same place Mahmoud Khalil was taken to. His lawyer & student activists say Doroudi was not involved in protests.

Interesting: Republican consumer sentiment has flat-lined since Trump took office, and it’s way below his 1st term pre-pandemic level. #EconSky

you may have seen that my (technically current) employer has been complying so far in advance that they went to the White House to negotiate against themselves well in advance of the eye of Sauron turning upon them. un/luckily, whispers of the same and gut instinct let us prep for this.
