@democrats.org how do I get off of your spam text message list. I get a half dozen texts per day begging for cash. It’s so annoying that you see party members only for cash. I shouldn’t have to change my phone number to avoid your constant barrage of text messages.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

This is a pretty important point!
The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

California will ask a judge to reverse Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to LA, arguing it violates state sovereignty.
“There was no communication through our office, period, full stop. So, by definition, it’s an illegal act,” Newsom told us.

Direct File also gives people direct evidence that government (a) can work and (b) makes lives easier. the nihilists and wreckers of the right can't have that.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going after Direct File because it stops giant tax prep companies from ripping taxpayers off for services that should be free.
Americans want a free and easy way to file their taxes — Trump and Musk want to take that away.

This generally sums up most of the current party establishment’s mindset when it comes to engaging the online base.
The Democratic Party learned one lesson from the Howard Dean campaign in 2004, how to raise money online- perfected it with Obama four years later, and has been milking the same million-ish donors ever since. Outside of money, they don’t want anything from their base other than for them to shut up.
What is really messed up is that none of the emails that went out after Booker’s speech asking for money from Dem/progressive donors asked them to engage by coming out to the #handsoff rally. Booker & other Dem electeds continue to treat their online base as ATMs and it’s an ugly look.
