Millions of us marched on Saturday and said with one voice: #NoKings in America. But this fight has only just begun. Republicans' #BillionaireTaxScam would help Trump continue his authoritarian power grab. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to kill this bill.

Who did this?

ICYMI: "Mvmt conservatives hate universities because they're bastions of free thought, which leads them to self-organize into liberal places. Smart ppl, center-right, center-left, or left, tend to support core liberal values of intellectual freedom, fairness, &rule of law."

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

guys they're going to stop feeding TSA's bomb-sniffing dogs, per Fox News nat security correspondent:

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I'll be back with vaguely concerning soon, but it's 7:30 a.m. and I've already had enough bad news for the day, so I'll share this important safety message, first. #MotivationMonday

The echoes of history are unmistakable, and the implications for democracy and civil liberties in the U.S. are deeply concerning.

By adopting this name, the Trump administration’s modern-day “Operation Whirlwind” appears to signal a similar intent: to assert control, suppress dissent, and eliminate opposition at any cost.

The operation resulted in brutal urban combat, thousands of casualties, and the forced suppression of a nation’s demand for freedom.

Where Did the Name Come From? The choice of “Operation Whirlwind” is deeply symbolic—and chilling. The name originates from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, when the Soviet Union launched a military assault, Operation Whirlwind, to crush an uprising for independence and democratic reform.

News organizations, advocacy groups, and even individuals expressing dissent have been targeted with legal threats and harassment. The administration is pushing the boundaries of First Amendment protections, with concerns growing that this is a attempt to control the narrative and stifle resistance.

However, recent reports indicate that Operation Whirlwind has transformed into something far more alarming: a tool for suppressing opposition, silencing the media, and intimidating critics of the Trump administration.

Initially framed as a national security measure, the operation quickly took aim at Congress over past remarks deemed threatening.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Elon Musk and DOGE have been sued. Here's my interview with Norm Eisen, who filed the lawsuit:
