I hope they've got something good in the works, because the Grassroots and Disloyal Opposition are running circles around the Democrats. Rachel did an 18 minute segment on the protests, which is great, and there's a new resource on disability advocacy below. Keep the links coming,
Most of the news out there today continues to be about the successful nationwide Hands Off! Protests held on Saturday. If you missed my 50 states round up, you can still catch it here. There's also quite a bit of news about Wall Street folks and GOP legislators
Wow. Saturday April 5 was the third nationwide protest and EVERY.SINGLE.STATE showed up and showed out (Here is my coverage of the first 50501 and second 50501). Thousands of people showed up in small towns and big cities, in the rain and wind or in the hot sun.

Welcome to all our new subscribers! If it wasn't clear from the subscription page, let me share a little about what we're doing here. For the first few weeks, it felt like no one was doing anything to push back against Trump. The media had declared
If the categories we cover were in competition with one another, the grassroots would be blowing the Democrats and Disloyal Opposition out of the water. The American people and our allies in other democracies have been escalating their protests and have broken through to the mainstream media with the Tesla
Another short one today because I am mostly (and blessedly) offline this week. Today's really bad news is that Trump is trying to cancel collective bargaining agreements that cover federal workers. Federal workers can't strike, so keep an eye on how the AFL-CIO responds. So
Short one today because life intervened. Send content! Or better yet, get out there and make good trouble! The topics are listed according to the type of action and actor as described in this post. "Democrats" are elected officials, government agencies, unions, and non-profits. "Grassroots"
