At the #HandsOff protest at Bryant Park in NYC. There are too many people to count… and also bagpipes.

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

@repstansbury.bsky.social Loved your skewering of Rep. Comer and his “give all Congressional power to Trump” bill.

Hey all, we've gotten a *lot* of tips since this post. Keep 'em coming. The deep-dive investigations we tend to do will often take longer to source, report, corroborate, fact-check and publish, but our reporters are hard at work following up on leads you’ve sent. Thanks for your trust in us.

A poem for the times.

Protests and protest organizing is being censored or suppressed in the US. The people who are supposedly anti-Trump but complain or denigrate anyone talking about protests are also helping the regime secure its grip. Now more than ever protests are needed to create solidarity & resistance networks.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

I am hugely enjoying Sarah Perry's new novel Enlightenment, but something in it prompts me, in this year of quantum, to write a little thread on how to think about the quantum double-slit experiment. Let's say it's done with electrons, giving interference fringes in the detected distribution... 1/n

Biden has commuted almost all federal death row. This is indeed a good day to do the Lord's work. I'm thankful to so many religious leaders and justice advocates who helped make this possible. I pray for victims' families, knowing that wishing for death is not a healing course.

So many of us have been working for this for so long.

1 of 4/ Acts of Moral-Ethical Courage are needed far more in the world than acts of Physical Courage. Certainly both are absolutely needed, and often there's overlap in these two emotions/acts/behaviors, however, ...

It’s taken me such a long time to recognise how my migraines and tinnitus are intertwined. And then I learn that one of my migraine meds is known to make tinnitus worse (and in some cases better!) What’s a girl to do?

I keep thinking about this critical insight from @atrupar.com - Republicans cannot claim a mandate for policies they disavowed and distanced themselves from during the campaign. Or at least we need to make it very hard for them to do so.
