Join the @democracyactionnet.bsky.social in West Hollywood on April 27 for a very different kind of community gathering - remember that all of this counts as resistance.

Anti-tesla protest in Cherry Hill, NJ, yesterday. This is a huge turnout!

There were 500+ anti-Tesla protests this weekend across the country and across the world. The #TeslaTakedown movement is growing!

BREAKING — Nearly all employees at the US Institute of Peace (USIP) received an email tonight informing them they were fired effective immediately, multiple staffers confirmed with me.

Just a few HR and IT staffers are being kept on to assist DOGE’s illegal dismantling of the independent nonprofit.

Last week, we reached 100,000 patients as part of our medical debt relief program.

I’m excited to announce that already we’ve alleviated this burden for more Illinoisans.

As of today, an additional 170,000 Illinoisans will have their debt erased — relieving $345 million.

- democracy
- coup
- America
- truth
- efficiency
- ethics

What else?

Trans people threw the first brick at Stonewall. Now, the Trump administration is trying to write us out of that history. We will not let them.

Ok so, I’m spending my evening having friend rice and wine, watching the new Netflix rom com set in Italy, and reading about how Mussolini was overthrown. This is 2025.

They're doing what they always do and trying to twist people's understanding of the phrase by using it wrongly, over and over.

Did the same thing with "quid pro quo" and "insurrection".

It's projection, and it works on people who aren't paying attention, even if it seems stupid and obvious to us.

Let's recognize the victory in getting them to say the words "Constitutional Crisis." That's no small thing. Their approach depends on everyone believing this is just the normal shit a President does. It's not. Our nation is in crisis, and they just admitted it.

Did they teach the three equal branches of Government in schools? Seems like the #FOTUS and GOP are confused about it.

Yes, the #Judicial evaluates laws/ EOs to make sure they're constitutional. They can tell the FOTUS to f*** off if his orders are #unconstitutional

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.
