The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.
The No Kings protest was massive! Historic turnout across the country. Shoutout to all the cities and towns that showed up in force:
Captain: “What is it they’ve sent us?”
Leia: “Hope.”
Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"
First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...
A game of chess. Two players sit down to play. One is overconfident, making reckless moves without thinking. Losses pile up, but patterns emerge. The quiet one begins to shift the tide, slowly, deliberately. The bold one grows restless. Control slips. Fury takes its place. And so,
the board is flipped. Pieces scatter. The rules are undone. The loud one calls it a victory. In doing so, they think they’ve won by destroying the game itself. But the other player saw it coming from the beginning. They played anyway. Sometimes you play for the distraction, one move at a time.
The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.
This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social Heather Cox Richardson and Jasmine Crockett together. Trump began implementing Project 2025 on his first day back in office. I can't imagine two more informed and empowering women to show us how to fight it. Sign up at social.redwine.blue/s/qg1zPfLs

Every trans person deserves safety, dignity and respect.
No exceptions. No conditions. No debate.
Visibility is only meaningful if it leads to real change.

Supposed to be one this coming Saturday April 5th.
This hasn't gotten enough attention.
Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins
1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives
2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility
Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)
New: The Trump admin has been ordered by chief US district judge James Boasberg to show up to a 4p ET hearing today and clarify whether they defied his court order compelling the return of deportation flights of suspected Venezuelan gang members
BREAKING: Judge in mass firing case orders the Trump administration to reinstate probationary federal workers across multiple agencies.
JUST IN: Thousands of probationary federal employees fired by the Trump administration must be offered job reinstatement within the next week, a district judge in San Francisco has ruled, because they were terminated unlawfully.
FOLKS, I AM A CONSTITUENT AND I AM EXPECTING THIS ENERGY TONIGHT! @cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov

This is the way.
an archival black and white photograph of the KKK marching in Washington DC with the capitol behind them
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.
Riding the bus to the Seattle protest right now… I expect pretty big numbers there!
