The Hands Off! protests on April 5 drew over 5 million people. Let’s see if we can top that number this Saturday.

“Connecticut has officially declined to comply with the Trump administration's directive requiring K-12 schools to certify the elimination of certain diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which the administration deems "illegal." This certification was presented as a condition for continued federal funding.“

[In] 1858, Democrat Stephen Douglas complained that those coming together to oppose the Democrats were d ragtag coadlition whose members didn’t agree on much at all. Abraham Lincoln, who by then was speaking for the new party coalescing around that coalition, replied that Douglas “should remember that he took us by surprise— astounded us—by this measure. We were thunderstruck and stunned; and we reeled and fell in utter confusion. But we rose each fighting, grasping whatever he could first reach—a scythe—a pitchfork—a chopping axe, or a butcher's cleaver. We struck in the direction of the sound; and we are rapidly closing in upon him. He must not think to divert us from our purpose, by showing us that our drill, our dress, and our weadpons, are not entirely perfect and uniform. When the storm shall be past, he shall find us still Americans; no less devoted to the continued Union and prosperity of the country than heretofore.”](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/359/523/217/028/868/original/0950cc49d928eeda.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson Lincoln Reminds Us 4/17/2025

Heather Cox Richardson A Shift 4/17/25
![Heather Cox Richardson A Shift 4/17/25
That shift has apparently swept in New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, who is generally a good barometer of the way today’s non-MAGA Republicans are thinking. In an interview today, he said: “[M]y feelings about not only Trump, but the administration, are falling like a boulder going into the Mariana Trench. So the memory of things that this administration has done, of which | approve, is drowning in the number of things that are, in my view, reckless, stupid, awful, un-American, hateful and bad—not just for the country, but also for the conservative movement.”
Stephens identified Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance's bullying of Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office as the event that turned him away from Trump. “America should never treat an ally that way, certainly not one who is bravely fighting a common enemy,” he said. Stephens also noted the meeting had "delighted” Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, who is now “"emboldened...to press the war harder.”](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/359/427/782/065/129/original/8750d8e63ede3c72.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson A Shift 4/17/25

Today a federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to stop Judge Paula Xinis's order that it “take all available steps” to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. “as soon as possible.” Conservative Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, wrote the order. Notably, it began with a compliment to Judge Xinis. “[W]e shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision,” he wrote.
Then Wilkinson turned his focus on the Trump administration. “It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter,” he wrote. “But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.”](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/359/307/031/730/250/original/f8045e05f1d48aa3.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson Conservative Judge Wilkerson let the Trump Administration have it. 4/17/
