(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL

Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!

With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that β€œvery few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.

Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

Seeing some more centrist folks imply that it was solely the focus on affordability that won the race for Mamdani. Absolutely bread and butter issues are key. But it was also his moral clarity.

Economics and ethics. Prices and principles. Freeze the rent AND free Palestine.

Trump administration revokes visas of multiple UCLA, UC students - Daily Bruin This post was updated April 5 at 10:20 a.m. The United States government has revoked the visas of multiple students across the UC, including at UCLA.

Trump’s attacks on the University of California are escalating.

Three reasons to defend public higher ed:

1/ We’re centers of free speech

2/ We help poor and working class students build better lives

3/ We drive scientific innovations that can benefit everyone

This morning, FACULTY UNIONS led by @aaup.bsky.social sued the Trump administration over the unlawful funding cuts at Columbia. We will not let the federal government use coercion to rob us of academic freedom and critical research!

So proud of my union!

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition.

Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

California’s unhoused people protest US supreme court order: β€˜Not going to push us out of view’ In Berkeley, advocates, activists and unsheltered people are staging a last-ditch effort to claim safe public space

These are terrifying times, but I feel motivated and inspired by Berkeley's unhoused community, who continue to refuse to be erased. I pass by some of these encampments everyday and I'm so grateful for the work they are doing.

Letter to Columbia President Minouche Shafik - Boston Review You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and the university’s endowment.

Robin D.G. Kelley absolutely brings it in this trenchant and powerful letter. Shafik will never respond, but it's important to have this indictment on the public record. She is the face of entire "elite" leadership class's spectacularly disastrous failure.

Here’s our full-throated defense of outside agitators.

The presence of community members and experienced activists in campus protests is nothing to be ashamed of.

We need to connect with and learn from others to build a better world.
