Vegas you showed up for yourself and every other human because that’s what we want, a place where everybody’s equal and no fxcking body is a king. #nokings #lasvegas @indivisiblelasvegas.org @lvgrassroots.bsky.social

America is strong not because of our President, but because of our people. Our flag flies for no dictator. Our nation bows to no king. Today, of all days, we must remember that.

from 'this week in stupid,' my every-Saturday round-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/45SUaJh (and, as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

There is a lot going on in our country today. I know many are feeling uncertain and scared —but know that we stand with you and to stand in your truth and in your power. We are in this together and we will get through. They cannot take away our voices, our rights, or our joy. ❤️

Wherever you are, stand. Today I joined my fellow Americans in front of our Embassy in London. I’m so grateful to Indivisible London and the hundreds of Brits who joined us in solidarity. #London #NoTyrants @indivisiblelondon.bsky.social

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

The Pretty in Pink/Back to the Future crossover you’ve been waiting for. #NoKings Los Angeles!!! (Leah Thompson is a real one)

Not feeling so small though…. #nokings #thisisourdemocracy

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

The greatest con Trump ever pulled was convincing millions of rubes that he cares about them.

No Kings Day is here. Today is going to be one of the biggest and most widespread days of peaceful protest in American history, with millions of Americans taking to the streets in every state. This land is our land and we don’t do kings here. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #nokings

We are the vast majority, Donald. We are people of every shape and shade. We are people of every nation and orientation. We are cisgender and transgender. We are immigrants and refugees and those born here... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo... #NoKingsDay

“They didn’t sign up for this.” VoteVets' MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton says Troops deployed to Los Angeles are being used for police work they aren’t trained for—and never enlisted to do. This isn’t defense. It’s political misuse of the military.

It is time for a new Latino political movement in this country. I’d love to see a million Latino march in Washington. To remind Trump and his people that we are Americans too.

I’m just asking you to pause or reflect or pray and to ask yourself the questions: What kind of person do I tell myself I am; about what matters to me, about the people I care about, about the mark I want to make on the world while I’m here? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

Get your favorite photos and memes of Obama ready. Tomorrow is also Barack Obama Day #NoKings

Given events in the past 24 hours, it might have been helpful for the United States to be able to speak to Iranians in Farsi, their official language. But the incompetent children at Doge dismantled Voice of America, cutting off that communication and ultimately not saving the US a penny.

Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement. He cares about power. It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.

The Trump administration will be remembered for being incompetent at everything except fascism.

Today, a poem about this remarkable moment... #poetry mybelievablelife.com/2025/06/13/t...

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

Everyone who is attending the No Kings protest on Saturday, please watch to hear important info about the event! Also, if you haven’t signed up, please do so here. We will have amazing speakers and chalk art and music, it’s going to be great! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... @indivisible.org

⬇️⬇️ Tomorrow, we’ll be at the federal courthouse alongside people from all walks of life to show that, in America, WE DON’T DO KINGS. What do we do? We do joy. We do equality. We do kindness. We do acceptance. We do freedom. We know tensions are high. Our goal is to have a safe, peaceful, fun event.

We're fed up. Calls to action: Join a No Kings protest: www.nokings.org Get engaged with an Indivisible chapter. indivisible.org Document abuses by the government. Turn off legacy media and turn on independent media. Fight injustice and protect each other. Keep calling your reps: 5calls.org

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

Today I watched as my colleague, @padilla.senate.gov, was shoved and handcuffed by Trump officials. I immediately went to the Senate floor to respond. This is what I said: youtu.be/h40tBBFkiq4?...

MAJOR BREAKING: Politico reports that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has scored the Republican's "Big Beautiful Budget Bill" and found that "the lowest-income households in the U.S. would LOSE $1,600 a year," while "the richest households would GAIN 12,000 a year."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to answer a simple question about the Trump administration’s plans for Greenland—implying that the U.S. military has plans after all to take the country by force. https://trib.al/iwacnuf

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

He CLEARLY identifies himself Don’t let them gaslight you or anyone you know We stand with @padilla.senate.gov !

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

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

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

@padilla.senate.gov I stand with you!

As I noted on Xitter, time to start naming the people (including Publix heiress Julie Fancelli and Charlie Kirk) who funded Jan6 but whose donations were considered 1A.

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

Best headline ever. America is becoming a failed state under El Taco Gordo and his Republican Party.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.
