Duh, this California fiasco is for one reason, the republicans are shaking in their boots over Newsom in the 2028 Presidential Election.

As a veteran I am so upset that our elected officials in Arkansas support sending armed military troops into American cities.

My people.

Former US Army lawyer Glenn Kirschner on how active-duty troops can properly reject illegal orders from Trump. Glenn who served as a US Army JAG prosecutor explains in my interview how our troops can legally refuse an illegal order from Trump: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/former-us-...

People who voted for Trump last year voted to vandalize my grandchildren's future, and I'll never forgive them for that.

These are the facts The Minnesota shooter: 1) Preached anti-gay/trans hate speech. 2) Was a registered Republican since at least 2004. 3) Had a hit list with over 70 abortion rights activists and healthcare providers. 4) Voted for Donald Trump.

Turtle Mutual Aid:

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Happy Father's Day, y'all. ♥️👏

Enough is enough: Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his newborn son and wife. We're fighting for that this Father's Day and every day until he is free.

I just had the upsetting realization that by the time we hopefully finally rid ourselves of him for good, I’ll be nearly 30 years old. This man has consumed the entirety of my late teens and 20s.

As promised, I delivered a thunderstorm. SMITE!

All those billions of dollars and the US Army doesn't have $10.89 for a can of WD-40 for its squeaky little tanks.

Happy Father's Day, Illinois. Thinking about how proud I am of my dad's service in the Navy and how dedicated he was to hard work and love of country.

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Yesterday, you were the stars, your compassion, your courage, your pride in standing up for what’s right lit up the darkness. This is the America we believe in. 💚✊

I want to go to this party! 👠

📌No Kings Day should become a federal holiday.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just posted this mocking Trump’s military parade.

The leader of the “Proud Boys,” Enrique Tarrio, pardoned by his insurrectionist buddy, showed at Miami’s “No Kings” rally to declare himself a white supremacist and say he will be personally deporting those who look just like him. Self-loathing seems to be a trademark of MAGA. #OnYourSide

Americans take to the streets* Patriots were everywhere Saturday — *except at Trump’s dumb birthday party

Let's check out some #NoKings front page headlines. South Florida Sun Sentinel:

#NoKings

I’m going to depart today from our normal political economic fare and talk about my father, Ed Reich, whom I’ve been thinking about a lot lately — especially on a day like today. https://bit.ly/4dYqLPB

Drowning out Proud Boys in Atlanta at No Kings Day. Part 1/2

look at this gorgeous freakin rose that grew in my garden

If you're a soldier who marched in the parade yesterday and have things you'd like to say anonymously, send me an email: [email protected]

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

The US Army can march in unison. Synchronized. I don’t think they wanted to…

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Sydney Jordan is choked up on CNN talking about her former colleague Melissa Hortman

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Minnesota shooter texted roommates www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Folks it doesn't even *look* like a parade is supposed to look Like whoever planned this has never seen a parade

Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

The United States of America: No Kings since 1776. Donald Trump: Russian-owned since 1978.

Looking back on the protests today made me think, MAGA never protested Biden because he wasn’t stealing their rights. Trump is gutting lives, freedoms, futures. We’re in the streets because we’re being crushed, erased & we're pissed off! MAGA rallies around a man. We rally around values

We've been in Philadelphia and in cities and towns across the United States to exercise our First Amendment rights. We the people will not be silenced.

This isn’t DTLA but this is PASADENA!!! Absolutely packed and absolutely peaceful. We will not be deterred and in America there are #NoKings!

Thousands of New Mexicans came together to remind The White House that democracy means NO KINGS. Governors on the front lines against this reckless and illegal action, and I'm proud to be in the fight.
