If you have been waiting for the right moment to step outside your comfort zone to join the active resistance to Trump’s regime, this is the moment. Take to the streets in peaceful protest to impose the will of the people on a rogue government.

Although we are awaiting reliable estimates, the Ice Out for Good protests were a solid start to the mass action movement that will end Trump's lawless rampage. To succeed, we must mobilize a significant portion of the American populace on a consistent, ever-increasing basis.

After a year in which Trump has bombed ...
- Venezuela
- Nigeria
- Iran
- Yemen
- Syria
- Somalia
- and civilian boats in international waters
... I’m thinking about the voters who convinced themselves that Trump was the candidate of foreign policy restraint.

Am I getting this right? The current legal position of the United States is that we can’t indict our own president or ex-president for crimes, but we can indict and arrest presidents of other countries for crimes. …

Are universities going to sanction faculty for being insufficiently respectful to the US assault on Venezuela?

Sorry. I mean the U.S. conducting a routine lawful arrest in Caracas, obviously.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I specialize in immigration so it’s not my area of expertise but is it bad for a government to delegitimize its central bank while tariffing much of the world and engaging in massive corruption? It’s probably fine, right?

March was so long that when we finished, after an hour of marching, there were still people waiting to start matching. We made a protest ouroboros.
Yeah, I'm thinking we're going to win.

Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social was asked by a Jesse Watters producer why she won’t come on his show.

AOC says because he has sexualized her — the producer denies that ever happened.

AOC reminds him that Jesse once accused her of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.
