The Big Ugly Bill headed to Trump's desk:
-Throws millions off Medicaid & SNAP
-Gives ICE more money than most militaries
-Extends tax giveaways for big corporations and the wealthy
-Guts clean energy investments and will increase energy bills
Worst bill in modern history.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.
His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”
He might never walk again. For showing up.
This is brutality. This is America.

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies.
Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather.
Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

Next nationwide protest is on 4/19. Pass it on and make it a goal to invite one (1) new person to join you/your group.
Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense.
Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster.
MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures.
They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
