Resistance is going viral.

Federal judges blocked Trump all day, 400 international academics including 30 Nobel laureates issued an anti-fascist manifesto, nearly two dozen attorneys left a firm that caved to Trump for one that is still fighting, and millions of Americans are preparing for over 1,800 “No Kings” protests today in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day resistance since he took office.

Each act of defiance is giving the next group permission to stand up. The courts embolden academics, who inspire lawyers, who energize protesters. Together they create unstoppable momentum that’s snowballing across institutions that Trump thought he could capture or intimidate.

Be safe out there today.
