Double.

If you're in Michigan, or surrounding states stay safe tonight.

Blessed Beltane one and all!

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

- Bon Appetit (snack foods) - Livsmart (beverages) - Jumex (juice and drinks) - Laboratorios Vijosa (pharmaceuticals) - Salvaplastic (plastic goods) - Olimpia Beds (furniture)

So, I've been most active on Threads because I have been able to find not just political people but romantasy people, historical costuming people, Michigan people, but with what happened today I'm thinking of wiping my account there. Hoping to find my people here.

From @altnps.bsky.social The final tally for April 5th Hands Off Rallies is 5.2 Million Nationwide. To overcome this Regime, we must consistently & peacefully gather & get our numbers to 3.5% of the population. That's 11.9 Million. We got work to do! Let's Go! #MomSky www.bbc.com/future/artic...

They are saying there is 2.3 MILLION people there! 2.3 MILLION! That's in 1 place! There are so many other protests. We have the power!

Salt Lake City showed up

Livia & I are watching the protest live since I'm sick. If you're out today, stay safe & stay healthy. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead

Listening to my MAGA co-workers complain about prices today is kind of funny because all I can think is wait until a month from now.

Measles is officially in Michigan. Here is contact tracing info. Stay safe everyone!

We're all cheering for @booker.senate.gov right now right? I am also sobbing.

Fitting that an articulate, well educated Black Senator would erase Strom Thurman from the record books...👍👍💖

"The power of the people is greater than the people in power." ~ Cory Booker

I am crying watching him. He makes me have hope. He makes me want to keep fighting. What a great man!

@booker.senate.gov thank you from the bottom of my heart. Signed a New Jersey born woman

@booker.senate.gov has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 20 HOURS and counting. #RESPECT

The Resistance is alive and well and angry: Reports of our demise might have been premature

Nothing makes it clear how we got where we are more than working with a bunch of MAGATS. They have whole discussions about how to get out of paying taxes. How to they're owed this & that. It's disheartening.

Seriously could weep watching Cory Booker stand up there doing his filibuster! I might live in the Mitten now but today am I proud to say I was born in NJ!

If you're in southeast Michigan, please be safe tonight!

Someone please go hug Dr. Robby. #thePitt.

Here is the rub: if they insist nothing was classified, then @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social is well within his rights to publish the entire chat, unedited. And given that he is an excellent, professional journalist, I am sure he has the receipts. #Signalzi www.rawstory.com/karoline-lea...

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskiLeaks” and I’m kinda miffed that I didn’t think of it first.

I think we will, yes. Depending on the midterms and just how much he’s allowed to get away with destroying in the next two years, we will very likely emerge as a very different country than we are today. We’ll survive, but there’s gonna be a lot of rebuilding.

Nothing like sitting here listening to a couple of MAGAS talking about college loans. Especially when one of them never went to college.

THIS is how you show up and FIGHT! We will not go silently into the night.

Packed town hall in Bethlehem, PA tonight. Unlike their GOP Congressman, we listened to folks—in person—about what matters to them. Thank you for having us.

That episode of the Pitt was INTENSE!

Listening to conservative co-workers talk about the astronauts coming home & how the muskrat could have brought them home in the last presidency. At what point do I point out the last 11 of the muskrat's rockets have blown up so he wouldn't have done anything. As usual.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

As someone who studies campaign finance and elections, I'm often asked for advice about where their contribution dollars will have maximum impact. I don't always have a clear answer. But right now, I do: @runforsomething.net is doing the most important democracy-building work out there.

Trump swing voters in a Michigan focus group have buyers’ remorse: “Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator" were among the words they used to describe their concerns.

Shares of Elon Musk's EV brand Tesla plunged nearly 10% at the opening of markets Monday, following a weekend of protests and poor sales numbers.

Go louder, everyone!

Hug your friends tightly. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Goodbye, Jed. I'll see you on the other side. Say hi to Gaia for me.

In terms of strategy, there are things we should emulate (discipline, repetition, presence in nonpolitical spaces) and things we should not (lying, demonization, division). In terms of substance, for me it always comes back to freedom, security, and democracy.
