Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.

He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.

It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

I think because it's a holiday weekend for many people, they're choosing to use the 19th as a day of service as opposed to being in the streets.

Any time I hear Trump get compared to Mussolini I read about what HAPPENED to Mussolini.

A legal document titled "Order on Motion for Temporary Restraining Order" from the United States District Court, District of Maine. The case is "State of Maine v. United States Department of Agriculture, et al.," case number 1:25-cv-00131-JAW. The document grants the State of Maine's request to prevent the USDA from terminating or interfering with federal funds based on alleged Title IX violations without due legal process. The court orders the release of frozen funds and prohibits further interference without following required procedures. The document is marked as Document 12, filed on April 11, 2025, and is page 1 of 70.

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth.

Florida Teacher Loses Job Over Trans Student’s Name, But Community Fights Back Administrators tried—and failed—to brush the first-of-its-kind case “under the rug,” community members say.

1. A Florida teacher has been fired because she used a transgender student's name.

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.

They were also the ones who said “yeah but we don’t believe he’ll actually DO it.”

This isn’t being covered by the American press but the Serbian people have been protesting their govt for MONTHS

Today was an amazing day for public protest and exercising first amendment rights.

Do it again. And often. It’s not just one day. It has to be for a lot of days.

It seems clear we are seeing the beginnings of a sustained mass protest movement to oust Trump.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

Protest in New York City on 26th Street.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

That is wonderful but please amplify those of us in deep red states: Frisco, TX today, one of many small but mighty protests.

Looks like it was about 100k!

Man, the big huge protests in places like Boston, DC, NY, Chicago, and Minneapolis are awe-inspiring.

But my heart is gonna explode looking at these crowds of people out in tiny Maine towns and super red Alabama towns. Places where 15% of the population is on the street corner with more coming!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

It really needs to be the goal of every democracy to destroy X by any legal and regulatory means necessary

Ferguson Missouri. People got killed and that was that. Other country police forces don’t carry guns. Ours have tanks. Therefore, dissent is crushed.

True.

Also true that a lot of Americans burned things the last five years. Our militarized police attacked them and I believe there are credible accounts of assassinations.

It’s not the right word but I’m fascinated by the cognitive dissonance. Is it racism? Most assuredly. But are there other layers? (Racism being the thickest?)

Sedona Prince needs to be investigated for the serious accusations leveled at her by five different people. That’s it.

RFK Jr. announces HHS reinstating some programs, employees cut by mistake On the heels of terminating 10,000 jobs from the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told ABC News some programs would soon be reinstated because they were mistakenly cut.
