This really needs to be a thing Americans rally to stop.

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

Just updated my diagram of Trump’s crypto entanglements based on his most recent financial disclosures 😵‍💫

British women are being jailed and shamed under archaic abortion laws. After more than a century and a half, this week, MPs could vote to change that. My col. on decriminalising abortion - and giving tens of millions of women a genuine right to choose. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

“God is reaching out to you [to] find[] the ways that we may be able to do something with our own lives to serve others. “And in that service to others we may find that coming together in friendship, building up community, we too can find true meaning in our lives.” www.osvnews.com/full-text-ad...

If you protested yesterday, you saw how many people in your community shared your values. Give them someone to vote for. Run for office. runforwhat.net

He hasn’t posted here in a while but this is @filmthepolicela.bsky.social helping out LAPD with some riot control tonight. Pretty funny.

Omgggg

I live abroad and there aren’t any protests where I am, so I’m sharing my message as I head to the Flowers Sea Swim - 800+ participants. #NoKings

In case you weren't aware, the greater LA metropolitan area is the size of Portugal and contains 80% more people. They cannot constitutionally do this, but also, they cannot physically do this.

There are some days when the news can be overwhelming and leave you feeling sad and afraid. Today is one of them. Try to remember that the good in the world has always outnumbered the bad, stroke a cat and enjoy the sunshine x (Pic @imageplotter.bsky.social)

We’re bombing Houthis. Israel is bombing Iran & Gaza. Russia is bombing Ukraine. We’re threatening Greenland. When is all this peace & tranquility going to happen that Trump promised us he would accomplish on Day 1 because everyone around the world was supposedly afraid of him?

They’re liberating Californians from their government just like Putin is liberating Ukrainians from theirs

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

Translation: Targetting actual foreign criminals is hard work, so Trump's troops have detainee working immigrants. They do tough, low paid jobs that US citizens refuse. Rich people soon notice when these roles aren't being done and the very richest of them have text Trump to say they're angry.

You may have seen clips of this speech, but if you haven't yet, you really ought to watch the entire thing and then share it with everyone you know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8slq...

This is utterly appalling.

I keep thinking about this and it makes me sick to my stomach. Because the thing where our American political lines are now warping reality means the people who should be most able to defend our nation can’t see the enemy anymore. www.greatpower.us/p/thin-blue-...

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

What is the cost of sending National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, where they are not needed? What is this political theater costing taxpayers? Talk about WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

I am literally begging reporters to stop calling illegal shit “charting new territory” or other crap like that. Most of the public doesn’t know the law and they are counting on you and you are dropping the goddamn ball.

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

this shit didnt come up once during the campaign, it makes me so fucking mad

There are moments with authoritarian takeovers where resistance is met with state power and violence in order to intimidate a population into compliance. What happens then literally defines everything. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay focused.
