Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington and across the U.S. on Saturday, part of some 1,200 demonstrations that were expected to form one of the largest single days of protest against President Donald Trump. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/ #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats #elonmusk

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

#Chicago #HandsOff #Protests

I shed #TearsOfMirth 😂 at the sight of a sign that says "So Bad, Even the #Introverts Are Here!"

Other signs say:
#StopTheHate
FREE #MahmoudKhalil
"If you cut off MY #ReproductiveRights, can I cut off yours?" with woman wielding a pair of scissors 😂

And a poster that reads "Shame on #Trump #Musk #Republicans #Democrats" — Damn right! #ElectedDemocrats are behaving as if they were elected to support the #MAGA #DOGE agenda. #Schumer #Schiff #Fetterman, Go home!

@randahl mic drops are from Obama's era. To do a mic drop, you need an audience who understands what a mic drop is. If all we have is a high number of #MAGA fanatics, a murder of people formally known as #journalists, #democrats who find a backbone only when they can kick Reps in the shins and hide away, and a majority of apathetic denizens, there is no micdrop. Just a gigantic thump and unbearable feedback, with a lonely childlike clap at the back.

Trump's senile, insane plans continue to devestate America so drugged-up Musk, sociopathic Vance, and madman Putin can pick over the corpse of our country. Let's amplify these stories so we can stop them from destroying us.

The #Senate approved a measure to block some of the #tariffs #Trump has imposed on #Canada, w/a handful of #Republicans joining #Democrats to…halt levies set to take effect this week.

The measure is all but certain to stall in the #House, where #GOP leaders moved preemptively to shut down any attempt to end Trump’s tariffs. But Senate passage on a vote of 51 to 48—hours after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on >100 trading partners…, sent a signal of #bipartisan opposition to Trump’s #TradeWar.

From our magazine: “The Laken Riley bill, that’s been talked about by the media and everybody as an immigration bill, but it’s a criminal justice bill. And they’ve punctured the due process in criminal cases. They’re basically saying that as long as [immigrants are] charged … not even that they’ve been convicted or that they’re on trial, [that they’ll be deported].” texasobserver.org/sylvia-garci
