Sweetness overload. 🥹🥹🥹 She didn't say a thing when she found her plate empty, just waited patiently.

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

The Minnesota shooter was targeting pro choice people. Make it make sense that a pro lifer is murdering people.

Without a Doubt...

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

I'm an atheist, but if a tornado hit a certain World capital during a parade and scooped up an orange dictator, I'd cheerfully go back to prayer.

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

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.

It most certainly is!

Hubs, 84 y/o & not much short term memory, asked what I have against tRump. I pulled up YT, found Lawrence O’Donnell’s stream from a couple days ago. My Army vet, retired cop hubs was angry & in tears by the end. “WTF country is this?” I told him, “Ours”. He gasped & fell silent. Broke my ♥️. 👇👇👇👇

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

This is called HOPE.

One of my favorite signs of the day.

A nice little respite amongst the madness.

Your Dad, waiting for you all to get in the damn car. #FathersDay

Santa Cruz, CA showed up! We gathered and then we walked. NO KINGS!! 🙅🏻‍♀️ 👑 🇺🇸 @indivisible.org @50501santacruz.bsky.social

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Our country is looking more and more like ‘Animal Farm’ and the pigs certainly believe they’ve got it all in hand. apple.news/AdWvLb9xBQgW...

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Live and peaceful in Pasadena CA

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.

The solidarity was strong today! #8647 #NoKings

She didn't chase the spotlight—she built coalitions, held the line, and got things done. A true Minnesotan leader. Thank you, Melissa Hortman, for your steady hand and fierce heart. You made this state better. #mnleg

The system ain't broken by accident. It's broken on purpose.

The US has issued a travel advisory for US citizens visiting Canada recommending extreme caution. Could anything be funnier. Are they afraid a Canadian will not say thank you if an American bumps into them.

#resist #NoKings #June14 Got my t-shirt ready to go for tomorrow.

This cracked me up! I always enjoy reading @lyz.bsky.social but this was next-level. Thank you for your writing.

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

It's peak cherry harvest time in CAs central valley. This worker earns $6.50 per 23lb bucket of cherries. On a good day she can pick 20-24 buckets in 7 hrs-if she works as fast as she can. Peak season doesn't last long so she rushes to earn every penny. Her family relies on her. #WeFeedYou
