Past the breaking point The violent occupation of an American city is more than a warning

Yes, we are “Past the breaking point,” and we have to consider what this intimidation of “blue” cities and states—citizens and noncitizens—means for participation in the midterm elections. This is in Stephen Miller’s playbook for cementing an authoritarian regime!

Opinion | Republicans Will Use Paperwork to Kick Americans Off Health Care

From CLASP: Child Tax Credit changes could drop 4.5 mill. children; Medicaid could see $715 billion in cuts, with 13.7 mill. losing health insurance; SNAP cut of ~$300 bill., largest in its history, leaving 11 mill. with less food assistance or none. And see this: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/o...

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.

Hands Off! Mass Call for mobilizing against Trump's power grab · Hands Off Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, claiming anything standing in their way is illegal, and daring the American people to stop them. On Saturday, April 5, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Ahead of these mobilizations, join movement leaders, experts, and more for a mass call on Tuesday, April 1, to make sense of the Trump administration’s unprecedented power grab, efforts to remove limits to its power, and what we can do to confront it on April 5 and beyond. This event is being organized by MoveOn, Public Citizen, Stand Up America, and the Not Above the Law Coalition in support of the Hands Off day of action and future actions.

Join the April 5th protest that is going worldwide; get more details here: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...
