Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.
We missed you at NCHE but are inspired by your standing up when we were in a hotel conference room!
#NoKings Miami!
No irony at all in posting this today. Thanks for the reminder that plus ça change...
And in this moment, we are reminded of the most American of traditions: erasing harm when a powerful white man dies. It is a tradition I refuse to take part in, even as I maintain my humanity by acknowledging the real tragedy of his death—again for his loved ones, his friends, and for our democracy.
literally two trump supporters murdered MN dems a short while ago
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
Hey @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social you’re reporting on Chicago crowds apparently protesting Trump, but what about DC’s???
I will once again remind Congressional Democrats that they don't have to be in the majority to hold hearings (and should have been, at least weekly, since Jan), hear from and talk with witnesses and experts, and provide the public with information.
That they wouldn't be "official" is irrelevant.
@nprnews.bsky.social Are you seriously leading ATC with Chicago rather than the massive march against occupation in your own DC today???
This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC
The DC Attorney General made it clear yesterday that Pam Bondi's attempt to take control of MPD is unlawful.
We need Chief Smith to listen to the DCAG and refuse to follow this order. Join us today at 12 PM to add your messages to a copy of DCAG's letter. freedcproject.org/event-list/c...
Those stealth bombers we’re terrifying! For those of us not in the military, looked like out of Star Wars.
F-ing DC flyover to celebrate destroying our country and terrify me. #HappyJuly4?
HUGELY Important.
Thousands of Baltimoreans gather With colorful signs on a hill in Patterson Park. A huge sign reads Indivisible Baltimore and a woman speaks at a microphone.

History Can't Be Whitewashed: Shame on the Trump Administration for Erasing Native Legacies

A red circle around the AI regulation ban language reading: IN GENERAL. Except as provided in para graph (2), no eligible entity or political subdivision thereof may enforce, during the 10-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this subsection, any law or regulation of that eligible entity or a political subdivision thereof limiting, restricting, or otherwise regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems entered into interstate commerce.
Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.
The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill.
It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights.
It’s Project 2025
(Politico) This one made my day. An idea from Senator Slotkin (caution: from my undergraduate university) to propose a "shadow cabinet". Illustrated below to combat Trump's initiatives and individuals. Really a SUPER idea!

President Trump fired our nation’s Librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden, by email at 6:56pm tonight, taking his assault on America’s libraries to a new level. Over the course of her tenure, Dr. Hayden brought the Library of Congress to the people, with initiatives that reached into rural communities and made the Library accessible to all Americans, in person and online. While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone. Be like Dr. Hayden.
BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:
Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

An apparently peaceful guy in a backpack was just tackled by by US Park Police at a rally in front of the Washington Monument. He is being filmed and led away. @Indivisible @50501movement.bsky.social
Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!
If you spend any time watching the live coverage of the Lexington/Concord 250 celebrations, you will get a sense of why it is so important to Trump to control what happens next July 4. Today's celebration is inclusive and focused squarely on challenging unchecked power. Really impressive.
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
Last day of action saw 5 million take to the street.
Goal for this Saturday is 10.
