The American democratic republic has died. It was 236 years old The U.S. is survived by a country of the same name, the United States of America, now a presidential dictatorship.

Prison without due process is called a concentration camp.

250 years since Paul Revere’s ride. We’ve been here before.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL.
#HandsOff

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

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.”

This is a real exchange I just had:

Massive crowd at Hands Off rally in St. Paul, Minnesota

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

Elon Musk couldn't buy the people of Wisconsin. Good day for democracy.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

“This is not a partisan moment; this is a moral moment. This is not a Left or Right moment; this is a right or wrong moment.” - @booker.senate.gov

Cory Booker is displaying true leadership right now, and every elected Democrat needs to be meeting this moment like this.

This is NOT business as usual and your actions need to reflect that.

Inside Cory Booker’s Plan To Disrupt ‘Business As Usual’ On The Senate Floor A member of the U.S. Senate took the floor at 7:00 p.m....

Good morning. Cory Booker has now been speaking on the Senate floor for 12 hours straight. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Chris Murphy has confirmed he’s joining Cory Booker in solidarity on the Senate floor all night to protest Trump’s lawlessness and corruption.

This is exactly the energy & leadership we need right now. Every Democratic Senator should be joining him, supporting him, & doing the same thing.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Adding Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat is good because then there’s one person who actually cares about national security

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.

But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

Don’t let them scare you.

Don’t let them get you to give up hope.

This is what they want more than anything.

Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

This! 💯
