The entity who calls himself POTUS, referred to the “No Kings” protests, the “Hate America Rally”, and wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, posted this AI video of himself dropping the contents of his diaper on Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.

Who is the one who really hates America?

Collected signatures for the #CallieBarr congressional campaign today at the #TraverseCity #NoKings rally. Filled all my sheets, talked smack about Jack Turdman, and met this magical unicorn human. 💙

I volunteered at the Immigration Law & Justice office recently. I have a PhD & I did clerical work in a small, hot office. Volunteering is mostly about just showing up to do whatever needs done to lighten the burden of nonprofit workers a little. We can all do something. Go get into your community!

Someone managed to get my picture while I was briefly volunteering today at the protest. It was truly a great day where I got to hug the necks of so many new friends. Wonderful job today, #TraverseCity! Proud to stand with you all! ❤️🤍💙

Never let ANYONE tell you that the Black dollar and sustained resistance doesn't work. They often do.

TLDR: Target to rollback the rollback.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare.

👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

#Target is trying to woo Black women with this t-shirt. 😂 Someone needs to be fired for trying this.

It’s long past time for the hell no approach. Kudos. We should all start doing this in Florida to make salient point about this cruel law www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

It is fucking mind boggling.
It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Correct
Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.

We are all so hungry for his downfall. Praying that it’s epic.
so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite
