In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

Just sitting here CACKLING.

It doesn’t solve anything and it definitely doesn’t change anything but it is kind of nice to know that he knows that his big macho honk honk birthday parade sucked

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."

For We the People to halt Trump’s autocratic breakthrough, millions of Americans need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win. That’s where tomorrow’s #NoKings Day comes in.

“We found this individual possessed a second, far more lethal string of words locked and loaded, and I’m terrified to think how the situation would have shaken out if he’d been able to say even one of them aloud,” said Kristi Noem theonion.com/kristi-...

They lie about everything

I told you we’d be back

"who was president in 2020" remains the most difficult question in the world for a sizable chunk of americans, professional commentators included

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The Sun Times’ response to the AI generated summer reading list they posted. chicago.suntimes.com/press-room/2...

there is no conspiracy these people won’t slop up and embrace. they have completely abdicated their duty to exercise judgment and discretion

I studied fascism and I’m still here and fighting after being arrested for protesting, motherfuckers, you’re all a bunch of cowardly shitass punks

Noah Hawley’s ‘ALIEN: EARTH’ will premiere August 12 on Hulu. • Follows a group who make a fateful discovery when exploring a crashed space vessel • Set 2 years before the first ‘Alien’ film

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.
