“We had literally 5-7 times as many people show up as RSVPs in most of the places where we held marches. What we were hearing throughout the day was the biggest problem that organizers of these marches were having…was that too many people were showing up.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on #handsoff

Over 5 million people turning out for the nationwide protests on Saturday was absolutely amazing—and these protests were in really nasty weather here and in a lot of the country!

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
Exclusive: Navajo Code Talkers disappear from military websites after Trump DEI order
Navajo Code Talkers get "DEI" label as military info disappears under Trump order
Also vanishing: The Civil War regiment from "Glory," women pilots from WWII and a Medal of Honor winner.

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest.
And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process.
Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.
And if we are not, then all is lost.

In the wake of Trump supposedly "voiding" Biden pardons, I'm re-upping my recent newsletter asking why major media won't address Trump's mental unfitness. They had no problem going there with Biden, who was simply old, not deranged.
Trump is mentally unfit. Why won’t major media say so?
As well as being a would-be dictator, he’s unhinged and incompetent.

Trump CANNOT legally reverse Biden’s pardons.
The bigger question is what improper and illegal actions will be taken by Trump’s DOJ and FBI that would fly in the face of those Biden pardons.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Many on this platform get the full threat Trump poses while others who are great allies still suffer from a "failure of imagination" when it comes to Trump. You can't view Trump through the prism of how the US Constitution or laws will protect you. You must understand none of that matters now.

Folks should take a look at JD Vance’s Twitter timeline & then think about how the national press has covered him vs. how they covered VP Harris. Racial & gender bias are a heckuva drug for some in the political press.

The Trump administration is mocking court orders, laying the groundwork for political retribution, and declaring open war on the rule of law.
