Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved: ⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto ⚫️ Dick Durbin ⚫️ John Fetterman ⚫️ Maggie Hassan ⚫️ Tim Kaine ⚫️ Angus King ⚫️ Jackie Rosen ⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

BREAKING: The House just passed Trump’s “Big, Ugly Bill.” Ripping Medicaid and SNAP benefits away from millions of Americans isn’t enough for them. This bill also makes it easier for dangerous people to buy gun silencers and short-barreled rifles & shotguns. It will make us all less safe.

Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

For the would-be dictator, success depends on projecting power and creating an aura of inevitability. They need you to believe that Trump is the new normal, that the MAGA movement will be in power for the long haul, that the only rational move is to go along, keep your head down, and protect your own interests.

We’ve seen over the last six months what happens when this aura of inevitability goes unchallenged. Institutions -- from state governments to businesses to civil society to higher education to media -- start to fall in line, do what Trump tells them, and/or go silent.

Here’s the thing: The aura of inevitability is a lie. It’s all a lie. Power in American society doesn’t derive from the top down. Trump’s grasp is brittle, and he’s overreaching dramatically. He will only succeed if everyone agrees to believe the lie.

Or, as our friend Reverend Barber says: A king is only a king if we bow down.

Countering the aura of inevitability requires a hundred different tactics and strategies. It looks like making an example of Target for obeying in advance and getting rid of its DEI policies. It looks like protesting and toxifying Elon Musk until he bows out of government. It looks like students at Georgetown making a list of Big Law collaborators and organizing their peers to steer clear. It looks like federal workers refusing to obey illegal or unethical orders. It looks like building the muscles and the relationships for collective action.

In short, it requires a countless number of people in a countless number of places to do something that the Trump regime doesn’t want them to do, or to NOT do something the Trump regime wants them to do. That’s how we shake off the aura of inevitability and halt the autocratic breakthrough.

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years, and we want No Kings Day on June 14 to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

While Kilmar Garcia's case is getting a lot of media attention, what isn't is the underlying problem behind the case — the violation of due process. There is no greater threat to the Constitution in our history. Not the Civil War, not J6, not Elon messing with social security — nothing comes close.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

#Tucson showed up today! I saw an estimate of 15,0000 people at the #handsoff rally, and there was quite a throng lining both sides of 22nd St, from Alvernon well past Randolph Way. So many supporters honking and waving - it was very empowering! Got to hang with some like-minded friends, too.
