Seven corporal virtues. I sent this to my members of Congress yesterday, along with some pointed comments -

(1) Feed the hungry.

(2) Give drink to the thirsty.

(3) Clothe the naked.

(4) Shelter the homeless.

(5) Visit those in prison.

(6) Comfort the sick.

(7) Bury the dead.

April Fools! No. There is no plan.
Maybe David Hogg can make it happen?

Nationalize Starlink. Nationalize Neuralink. Nationalize Tesla. They won’t be national security risks, and musk will be out of the way.

True ✅

University of California statement on international students’ visa status terminations The University of California is aware that international students across several of our campuses have been impacted by recent SEVIS terminations. This is a fluid situation, and we continue to monitor ...

University of California announces that several (>20 but actual sum unknown) international students had visas revoked. Multiple campuses are affected. At least one deportation already.

Faculty, it's time to STOP WORK and push UC into PROTESTING this.

The Germans are seeing all of this. 🇺🇸

Marchers near WI Capitol

Protest

Big crowd

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

What Cory Booker did wasn’t just about breaking a record or standing up for democracy—it hits different for Black folks.

Strom Thurmond spoke for 24 hours to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Cory Booker, a Black man, shattered a segregationist’s legacy—and flipped the script.

Fairplay Colorado, we had about 70 at noon and then 56 at 3pm.

LOTS of supporting honks!

Mayor Wu speaks from the stage to a large crowd at City Hall Plaza.

Thousands of people standing together around a stage on City Hall Plaza.

Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We will not sit by while Donald Trump and his billionaire friends dismantle the protections that our families count on.

Thank you to the thousands of people who came out today to tell this administration #HandsOffBoston!

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.

So glad I was an early unsubscriber.

Pete Hegseth is in over his head Trump's picks are about their TV and camera appeal

From CNN.

Look, it's unfair to blame Trump's deputies for the sharing of war plans with a reporter on an unsecured ap. He made it clear that's ok when he showed a couple of reporters stolen Iran war plans in his office at Mar-a-Lago. It's all fine.

You missed Wisconsin Supreme Court judge race. Vote Susan Crawford, please.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Brad Schimel has a “thin blue line” / police non-accountability altered American flag in his office

I will give $5 to the first reporter who - when trump says “I don’t know anything about it” asks, “Is this like when you didn’t know anything about Stormy Daniels?”
Maybe even $10.

Just so you know, since this administration is literally blitzing its way into becoming the second coming of Nazi Germany, it means that you'll be considered as terrorists and agents provocateurs by the time April 5th happens.

Once again, be prepared, and be ready.
