The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets.
These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

From our April 18-21 survey via Data for Progress, N = 1,171 likely voters, MOE +/- 3 for overall sample.
Americans (likely voters, to be precise) support impeachment by 52% in our most recent survey. This includes 55% of independents. And the plot thickens when you look at how they responded to other questions...🧵

This is so good. In commemoration of the lighting of the lanterns in the old North Church. I got tears in my eyes at the end.

People change their minds. And it is, in fact, the job of political campaigns to change them.
In 1996, gay marriage was a 70-30 issue where the 70% was against it.
Now, less than 30 years later, it's a 70-30 issue in the opposite direction.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

So, he's been in office a single week and it's already utter chaos.
I know for many of you, it's overwhelming just considering what the rest of the administration will be like and you want to give up because it's too hard.
Don't.
However bad it might get, it'll be 10x worse if you do.

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.
