    Watch now   'HANDS OFF': Protests ERUPT Today Across America My conversation with MoveOn’s Rahna Epting on today's grassroots uprising against Trump, Musk, and the MAGA wrecking crew. Ben Meiselas ,  MoveOn , and  MeidasTouch Network Apr 5 By Ben Meiselas You can feel it in the streets. You can hear it in the chants:  DO YOUR JOB! DO YOUR JOB! I sat down with Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn, to talk about a movement that’s reaching a boiling point. Across the country, Americans are standing up and saying enough is enough. From the Boston Tesla protests to today’s national “Hands Off” day of action, this isn't just opposition—it’s an uprising.

Surely it must be!) of the Vice President—whose official duties are constitutionally limited to breaking ties in the Senate and outliving POTUS—gesturing towards an unseen something on what looks like Hoth but is actually Greenland, where this white nationalist and his brown-skinned wife (Is his obvious hypocrisy part of the joke?) have come to explain to the native Kalaallit people that, like it or not, their cold island is about to become a province of t...

Great News That’s Terrible For Trump and His Cult

  Great News That’s Terrible For Trump and His Cult Onward! Scott Dworkin Mar 23 Before we start another week of the Musk and Trump dumpster fire circus act, I’m glad to have plenty of good news for you today. I hope it provides you with a sense of relief, as it does for me. And shows you there are amazing people fighting the maga cult alongside us. On April 5th , there are massive rallies planned across the country via a coalition of 83 organizations. This includes international labor unions like CWA and SEIU, as well as progressive groups like MoveOn, Indivisible, and DemCast. The event, billed as “Hands Off!” currently has a list of 514 actions planned. All across America this weekend, at town halls and protests, tens of thousands of people stood up to Trump and DOGE. Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders finished off the first leg of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour Saturday—as 23,000 people showed up to rally in Tucson, AZ . In total, the five high-energy...
