It looks like #HandsOff was successful in that now the #TrumpRegime is going to try and silence the organizers!

Core Democratic groups are preparing to be targeted by the #Trump administration

NEW YORK (AP) — "As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power, some of the Democratic Party’s core political institutions are preparing for the possibility that the federal government may soon launch criminal investigations against them.

"The Democrats’ dominant national fundraising platform, #ActBlue, and the party’s largest #protest group, #Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump’s top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.

"Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the Republican president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.

" 'Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves,' said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents Democratic groups and candidates and is chaired by Marc Elias, the lawyer who has himself been a Trump target.

"An FBI spokesperson declined to comment when asked about potential investigations into ActBlue and Indivisible. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not downplay the threat of a potential criminal probe when asked specifically whether Trump wants the FBI, the Treasury Department or any other federal agency to investigate Democratic groups."

This Saturday, April 19, 2025, a nationwide protest is scheduled in the USA. This is a grass roots effort as we rise up to stand against the atrocities taking place in the current administration.

The poster below shows what is happening in my state, New Jersey. You can search for protests happening near you by visiting fiftyfifty.one or indivisible.org.

Let's all try to get out there before we lose the right to protest! Let your voice be heard!

You have the right
To free speech
As long as
You're not dumb enough
To actually try it

Action items:

"Slotkin: Stop voting to confirm Trump nominees for any position. Particularly egregious is your YES vote on Dan Caine for Joint Chiefs chair, who is unqualified: Despite his 34 years of military experience, Caine has not served in any of the roles legally required to fill the position. (Peters did not vote on Caine.)

Peters: Do not confirm any Trump nominees. Ever."

I’m being harassed via text and email by locals who tell me I’m “backing down” and “obviously wasn’t alive in the 60’s” because I’m not organizing a march for April 19. We are a town with a population of 10,000 and had almost 800 people show up to our rally last week. That’s 8% of our population!! We can’t pull of an event like that every two weeks. If anyone wants to send some virtual hugs and support, I could use it rn. #50501movement #indivisible #protest #handsoff
