Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Military/paramilitary forces grabbing people without process, regardless of their citizenship status because of their perceived ethnicity is perhaps better referred to as "ethnic cleansing."

I need people to cut the ‘those are Jan 6 guys not ICE’ shit out. They are acting like mob thugs because that’s what cops ARE. They’ve ALWAYS been like this, it’s just easier for you to see right now.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Finished the hand-embroidered tree canopy. Now working on the moss. I love mossy trees!! 🌳 😍💚 #scape #forestfriday #ArtYear #textileart #wip #felt #handembroidery #needlefelt

Never thought I’d be sitting here hoping Putin’s influence over Trump holds, but I can’t stand the thought of millions of innocent Iranians suffering because Trump needs to salve Saturday’s ego injury.

There are more important reasons to defeat the poisonous Christian Nationalism destroying our country, but I hope we can knock back the rise of prudishness when we do. It’s making me tired.

Call your reps. I know you’re going to say “but mine don’t care” and let me tell you yes, they will actually care, because you don’t just call. After you call, you tell three friends who aren’t online, and ask them to call. Posting is useless. Pick up the phone and tell them not to sell your land.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

“The bill’s process for selling off lands runs at breakneck speed, demanding the nomination of tracts within 30 days, then every 60 days until the arbitrary multi-million-acre goal is met, all without hearings, debate or public input.”

Jesus the guy’s a fucking Walter Mitty. The fantasies & lies were probably fully unraveling, so he decided to destroy a bunch of other people’s lives about it. What a pathetic, evil piece of shit.

this is a terrific LA-based mutual aid group and I have donated to them in the past.

Our unofficial crowdsourced estimate of yesterday’s protest turnout is rising to 4.2-7 million as we gather more data. At this point potentially the second-largest single day of protest in U.S. history! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

lmfao amazing

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

The students at Hampshire once spontaneously paraded through campus as part of their successful effort to literally drum the shitty President out of office and it was SO much livelier & better coordinated than this shit in DC. Also there was way more cheering from onlookers.

The sad little squeaks of the tank treads as they crawl by silent onlookers is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen & it has filled me with joy

hearing the sad squeak of the tanks over the music, and no cheering is really something

Desperately tipping the dust bin out on the floor trying to find Sean Spicer to fix this

This is the real cringe we need to be addressing 😭

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

It's the right combination of things. Those in charge of safety advising people that an assassin is at large and that maybe they don't want to go, and the general populations saying, fuck you, we're not afraid. ✊🏻

Attending the No Kings protest in Auburn Maine as a legal observer. Amazing turnout, covering both sides of the Longley Bridge. No issues at all. There's one lonely counter-protester trying to instigate debate and everybody is ignoring him.

Good morning, I am at the ghost town that is the Army Birthday Celebration, excited to experience what promises to be an incredibly stupid day The Army Strength Competition is about to begin Let's do this 🧵

Anti-Trump 'No Kings Day' protesters endure the rain to demonstrate in Nashville, TN

Northampton, MA.

Get out today if you can! I’m here at the first of two events in Falls Church, VA today, and it’s so heartening. There are TONS of people lining the streets of our little town, block after block. Shouting to drivers honking massively in support. It’s happening everywhere. Join in if you can!

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

The crowd is growing in Portland, Maine #nokings

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

This is an absolute shambles. But these are also the kind of images that win the ideological war.
