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
Working on logistics for this summer! Email if you are interested
Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.
Portland OR Hands Off Rally
Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING

And it's General Conference weekend. So that is truely astounding!
This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
Today we march—nationwide! Join us and make some good trouble!
JUST IN: We asked a federal court to stop DOGE’s ongoing unlawful access to SSA data after new facts expose the breadth & urgency of harm to millions.
DOGE is putting Americans at risk – not only of privacy violations but of losing access to the benefits they depend on. We will keep up the fight!
To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.
—With love,
Your American allies.

Dear Elon,
Clearly, the people of Wisconsin think you are full of shit.
But thanks for depositing $20 million in our economy and losing.
Did I mention you lost? And people really really don’t like you? I mean really.
Your friend,
Mark
This mess?
Scenes from the HHS bloodbath 🧵
Some layoff notices went out by email last night or early this a.m. But some people showed up today at FDA and only found out they were fired when their badges didn't work -- or when they were pulled out of line to enter by security, Gestapo-style.
You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take, @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov
Trump and Elon are ALREADY cutting Social Security.
When they fire thousands of staff, jam up the phone lines, and shutter offices...
When they make it nearly impossible for you to talk to a real person to get the benefits you're owed—THAT'S A BENEFIT CUT.
Senator Booker — what a fighter. I thank @booker.senate.gov for his extraordinary, record-breaking effort to speak on behalf of and give voice to so many Americans who are alarmed and anxious about the dismantling of cherished and bedrock contracts between the people and their federal government.
Thank you Corey Booker!! Grateful to all the Senators helping him out.
Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours
Massive applause for Booker
Sen. Cory Booker putting his hand over his heart as he beats Strom Thurmond's floor address record
It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.
Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.
Been working with George some time on this. Stay tuned…
Your companies are suffering because you intentionally alienated your entire customer base. But go on with your victim complex.
If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it.
Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.
Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Republicans are coming for Medicare.
They're making it crystal clear: “Reform” = cut
This has been their playbook all along to spread misinformation while betraying working people.
We’re proud to celebrate Judge @crawfordforwi.bsky.social’s victory and her ascension to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Wisconsinites sent a clear message: it’s the people—not billionaires—who decide our elections.
Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚
Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale
money can’t buy everything, eLon
"It turns out that for one day, at least, America’s democracy was not sold to the highest bidder. That voters cared more about the damage Musk is doing than his offers of cash," Don Moynihan writes donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-bigges...
Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
