#MassiveProtests Against #Trump are Just The Beginning

A co-founder of #Indivisible lays out a vision for harnessing millions of protesters into an unstoppable pro-democracy movement

by Tim Dickerson, April 8, 2025

Excerpts: "The demonstrations were organized by a broad coalition — including groups that rose to prominence in the first Trump administration, like Indivisible, upstarts like the #50501Movement, as well as established grassroots groups like #MoveOn.

The Lincoln Project claims “Oh, #ElonMusk is doing what we warned.” The project hasn’t represented reasonable #NeverTrump conservatives in a long time and this is as telling as anything. Musk reducing the size of government is the sort of thing we Trump-skeptics actually have always wanted conservatives to do. ofb.biz/sa1287

Elon Musk’s continued work rolls along impressively and has the promise to achieve the lasting legacy President Trump reportedly desires, but the president must prioritize to secure it.
