democratic leaders are operating like the mike lee thing is just a slip up by one guy instead of how the entire movement thinks. im tired of it. this is who they are. theyve been like this for decades. whether its goldwater opposing civil rights, reagan attacking welfare recipients or wmds

As a parent I can confirm this is the best No Kings sign

Yes, democracy is endangered and the authoritarians continue to undermine voting rights. But assuming there won't be any more elections only helps MAGA, normalizing the end of elections and driving down turnout. I'm muting these defeatists in my mentions. Prepare to win or get out of the way.

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

True.

saying that someone “no longer has any legal interests” because they’re dead is the sort of claim you might wanna run by a lawyer before publishing in The Atlantic

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

People in the GOP made fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband being nearly beaten to death with a hammer. You cannot shame these people. You cannot demand they adhere to social norms. They gleefully, willfully spread misinformation about attacks they provoke. They can only be punished.

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

If you rank Zohran 1st you’re voting to make every New York Times Opinion writer insane for several years.

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

Sexual harassment is the canary in the corruption coal mine. If Cuomo/any elected official is willing to abuse government staff, they're sure as hell willing to abuse every other form of power they have. Sexual harassment is corruption, period.

Any successful and impactful democratic movement is going to have to hold these criminal authoritarians accountable and also carry out an extensive investigation and reformation of our law enforcement. It feels overwhelming but literally none of this will change without it.

This is obviously ridiculous but it is kind of bleakly funny that this advice more or less has the same beats as advice about what to do if you encounter a bear in the woods, just in terms of the unknowability of the other party. "Make yourself appear larger and the cop will usually run away."

Political violence must always be condemned.

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

The 60s are still in living memory, so I think we can be expected to remember there are quite a few grades between "domestic harmony" and "civil war" Not thrilled that we're going to be exploring a bunch of them! But the "imminent civil war" takes are overbaked

The military parade was supposed to scare Americans into submitting to Trump’s fascist regime. Instead, 11M marched across the country and laughed at his pathetic attempt to show force.

You’ll notice that the American state media are no longer concerned about age seeing as the orange felon is now nearly 80 years old and all they’ve been doing is normalizing his birthday dictator march. They have completely failed all of us as well as our democracy.

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

BlueSky seems to have been a big part of this, just judging from the folks claiming credit in my mentions!

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Canadians are overwhelmed by US media and we see *everything* Americans do. I watched it all, including Trump’s fake Bastille Day, live. A dismal, ridiculous parade is described as “spectacular” while *5 million* people protesting barely registers. Y’all have a problem.

Ocean Beach per SFGate.com drone footage

Just for fun…

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

I do think it’s very funny that he can’t even do the dictator shit right. Never have I seen a parade flop harder.

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

Fathers deserve to work fewer hours, make more money, and spend more time with their families. Every working class person deserves this.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

I'm glad it didn't rain on Trump's parade, because the pictures and videos that came out of it — along with his sad expression, realizing how pathetic the event made him look — were priceless.

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

Things are very bad but can we at least agree we don’t have to take seriously the nonsense that a majority of people are into Trumpism now

www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Best image of the day:

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

PSA: We will be focusing on the “No Kings” rallies rather than his military charade, and we encourage other outlets to do the same. (‘Many people are saying’ they will have a much bigger turnout)

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”
