Robin DeRosaHappy to be with a HUGE group of fed-up New Hampshirites at the State House today. The crowds ultimately crossed the whole lawn and both sides of the street for blocks. #HandsOff

Mor NaamanI have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

... and society should be run by elite engineers, scientists and businesspeople
A major figure in that movement?

🏳️🌈🖖🏽Trump’s defiance of court rulings has many asking: Do the courts still hold real power against an autocratic president?

Qasim Rashid, Esq.Guy worth $340B spending $25M in WI is like the median American worker who makes $39,982 a year spending $2.94.

This is how democracies collapse.
