The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer

Trump thinks his rule is absolute.

But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption.

We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". 🙄

Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.
Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging
An emergency order removes protections covering over half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.

Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

A month ago, Trump was at the height of his power and popularity.
