Since Trump fired everyone ahead of hurricane season, we figured he needed help delivering this message so we showed up at FEMA HQ to help out.

This is...not a Kathy Hochul many New Yorkers have seen before.
Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
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.

The #BillionaireTaxScam — Trump's "big, beautiful bill" — would be catastrophic for our planet and communities and ruin millions of lives.
We must defeat this extreme bill.

Is there a “Team Abundance, With a Few Minor Caveats re: Less Being More Sometimes (ala energy efficiency, etc)”? That’s me, Team AWFMCLBMS. 😀 Because yes, we desperately need more housing, transit and clean energy built much faster than the current systems allow.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

This episode was so timely and vital, both for putting a human face on government workers, and for highlighting the negative societal impacts of DOGE tearing down the federal workforce. Well done, @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social !

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
