Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

The Contrarian salutes Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her response to Trump’s address to Congress. She is “calm in a crisis, level-headed, pragmatic, and steeped in American values—everything Trump is not. She is a symbol of hope in these dark times.”

One of the most extraordinary standoffs in DOJ history
DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.
NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

Put a bandaid on your finger.
It’ll be a sign that you’re in this club
Of caring, daring, bandaid-wearing citizens.
Ready for paper cuts, splinters, and blisters.
As we tug on that arc
of the moral universe,
Bending it, together
Towards Justice
