Please do your homework. The narrative that people aren’t in the streets is patently false. There have been over 31,000 protests since Trump retook office in January - 4X as many as in his first term. Source: Harvard’s Crowd Counting Consortium. Talk to Erica Chenoweth!

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Since January, the Department of Homeland Security has terminated the legal status of over 4,700 people. DHS does NOT have the authority to terminate this legal status except under very specific circumstances - and we're demanding answers from the Trump Administration.

A few thoughts about today's protests: 1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures: -- total national turnout (~ 3 million) -- number of local protests (~ 1400)

Absolutely chilling and infuriating. The government kidnapped this man from his home and refused to share basic information with his family or lawyer, as punishment for his free speech. This is a blaring sign of authoritarian takeover and we've all got to recognize it as such.
