There are many things we can do to help and we all have to decide what to do based on our own abilities, privileges, needs, and focus. That being said, I would like to ask everyone to give serious thought to attending a protest on May 1st. And beyond that, to normalizing ongoing protests.

Today I learned just how badly the small company I work for is about to be hit by the "reciprocal" tariffs.

A majority of white voters voted for Trump. The Hands Off protests were largely white. True statements, but I'm seeing the bizarre non sequitur floating around that together they mean the protests consisted primarily of white Trump voters with buyer's remorse because of Trump's economic impact.

Republicans in West Virginia passed a bill that would allow health care providers to “visually or physically examine a minor child” for the purpose of identifying their “biological sex” without the “consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.”

President Trump warned international students that if they support groups the U.S. deems terrorist organizations, "we will find you, and we will deport you." It's left many student activists anxious.

If Russia is going to try to expand by conquering neighboring countries, then this SHOULD be a world war. The nations of the world should neutralize Russia's ability to do that. If a "peace deal" involves Russia getting ANY PART of Ukraine, then Putin knows he can get away with it again.

And somehow Republicans will just go 1000% in on the doublethink.
Reporter: Do you still think Zelenskyy is a dictator?

Trump: Umm did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question
