There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

ICE is abducting people from immigration court this morning in San Francisco, a source onsite tells me. 100 Montgomery Street. There is resistance but I'm sure reinforcements today and every day would be valuable.

In light of Trump’s worsening cruelty, vindictiveness, and ever more belligerent attacks on democracy, many of you ask: “What can I do now?”

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

It’s been a long week. Every day under this administration somehow feels worse than the last. We know how exhausting this fight can be, but don’t give up. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is another big day. Many of our coalition members spent today traveling to event sites around the country.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

We’ll have estimates later today, but small towns are really showing up. You can tell, it’s catching local media off guard. Reporters are like, “Wow, we didn’t expect this kind of turnout here.” As for the comments on those stories, ignore the usual MAGA noise.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

“The best part of this was realizing how much support there actually is in my town. I had no idea.” That’s the magic of showing up. You helped people feel less alone in places where they’ve felt isolated for far too long.
