Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Literally watching this on an Amtrak.

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

Hint for Democratic lawmakers from your voters: We want you to vote NAY on everything the GOP wants. E V E R Y T H I N G

NEWS: In one of the first major federal prosecutions of an LA protester, the DOJ has moved to dismiss the case. Jose Manuel Mojica was accused of assaulting officers, but came forward to Guardian to recount how he was brutally attacked by agents. “I feel a huge relief. The truth always comes out."

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

Three weeks ago tomorrow. 🤡

A day after Comptroller Brad Lander's arrest, Congress members Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler at 26 Federal Plaza now attempting to visit ICE detention floor to see conditions there, they plan to visit immigration court also.

No war with Iran.

We’re going to need a bigger demonstration I guess.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

NEW statement from NY Attorney General Tish James on Brad Lander's arrest, calling it a "grotesque escalation of tensions."

Head to Broadway and Duane if you can - no signs, no campaign swag please.

We always appreciate @bradlander.bsky.social but never more than when he shows up to protect people. We are horrified that masked federal agents are targeting our neighbors and our electeds. Call YOUR electeds and demand they show up, too! @indivisible.org

“We’re trying to demonstrate whether the people in power have the support of the American people.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social on #NoKingsDay

🗣️REMINDER: Trump and Republicans are still trying to pass their 3 TRILLION dollar spending bill that would kick 16 million people off of their health insurance and literally take lunches away from school children.    We can’t let them get away with it.

The Special Relationship. 2025. Oil on canvas 🇬🇧🇺🇸

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Was waiting for this: Heart's Nancy Wilson calls out Trump for blasting "Barracuda" during his military parade. A “powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use" and used "without permission or authorization from us." www.huffpost.com/entry/nancy-...

All the 3.5% magic bullet nonsense is the ‘Boom! Mueller Time!’ of this moment and it's doing my head in. Protests work, there's many disparate reasons why and it’s not always a numbers game. Just take some action.

Amid this day of horrific political violence, we are grateful that 80,000 Minnesotans chose to come to our State Capitol, gathering together in peace. 1/2

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”. Numbers + Momentum = Regime Change #NoKingsDay

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

If you protested today make sure to download the SorosCash™ app from the app store and get paid in full!

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

The parade route is as empty as Stephen Miller's conscience.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Spotted today at Chicago's #NoKings march. I knew I was in good company!

Chicago is nuts. Multiple streets shut down for a parade of protesters. Goosebumps. Was almost in tears. So powerful. #NoKings

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

Some signs from Chicago's #NoKings march today. Large, peaceful, beautiful. Daley center plaza was overflowing and it was packed but the mood was jubilant and I never felt unsafe. I love this city so much. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

There are few times I am at a loss for words. Today is one of those days. I’m mourning the devastating loss of my friend Speaker Melissa Hortman and her devoted husband Mark Hortman.

We are horrified by these acts of unspeakable political violence. We mourn with the state and the families. As of now, we are proceeding with the No Kings event. 1/3

Political warfare in Minnesota.

The weight of the vehicles is going to cause over $6 million in damage to Constitution Ave, and don’t get me started on the cleanup costs and the police OT. This is the most expensive public blow job in American history.

Super useful and very clear guidelines about going to protests. Exercise your first amendment rights, be in community, be safe. 👇
