Trump tried to crown himself with tanks and troops on his birthday & barely anyone showed. Because Americans don’t bow to tyrants. We rise up. We remember who we are. And we reject fascism in every form. Foxtrot Delta Tango #NoKings @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

There's a lot of love in this post... Our differences don't matter ❤️❤️❤️ 📽️ Cats

Just outside of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL.

Look at downtown LA right now

This audience member might have just broken Jon #AfterTheCut

I don’t understand recording artists who make a big deal about their “dance moves”. The older I get, the more stupid it seems. If Angus Young’s best talent was his duck walk, I never would have bought his music. But at least he didn’t act like he had invented some amazing new “move”. Rant over.

www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum... ...after Robert E. Lee. Thom Hartmann Jun 13, 2025 Common Dreams 6 Robert E. Lee killed more Americans than Hitler. More than Khruschev. More than King George III, Ho Chi Mihn, or Kim Il Sung. He killed more Americans than we’ve lost in every war

The fascist propaganda networks are now building the narrative for their followers that the unrest is spreading like it’s 2020 and building the narrative case for wider military engagement nationwide against liberal cities and states. The republicans are at war against america.

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

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

This is how it’s done!!!

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

There's simply no good reason for the Supreme Court to refuse to livestream its opinion announcements.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

I went to Senate and House Republican leadership’s office today demanding they support an investigation into the attack on Senator Padilla. Unsurprisingly, they lack a backbone in the face of this administration’s lawlessness.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

starting to think some of these trump appointees are not completely up for the tasks at hand it is just this feeling i am getting

This guy assaulted a US senator

The Padilla detainment is awful but don’t miss that Noem promised to “liberate” California from the elected officials they chose.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

What we’re up against — 🚨 Watch 👀 and be vigilant Point it out when you can This Trump Administration’s propaganda machine is next level and we must push back @cfhunfiltered.bsky.social’s video is on TT and IG if you want to share with friends and family

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

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.

First, she is lying. It is a lie. No other word for it. Second, this is an assault not just on Padilla as a person, but on the Legislative Branch of government by the Executive Branch. Under the framework our Founders developed, he outranks her yet is treated like this. Let that sink in.

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

"Donald Trump’s constant willingness to ignore the Constitution and core principles of American democracy means we are forever playing catch-up, stumbling behind while explaining why he absolutely cannot legally do the thing he is doing." — @snipy.bsky.social

My relatives keep asking me how we're doing in the riots. I say, you mean the police riots? Cuz no one else is rioting.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

2 days left in the Vox Media Union contract so we had a pizza and sign making party about it

That was about insurrection. This is about rights protection.

Los Angeles ICE Raids Are Driving Immigrants — And Citizens — Underground "I wish people understood how much mental energy it takes just to live a normal day."

The government’s response to Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit-which seeks to prevent Trump from using military troops against protesters in Los Angeles Claims that such intervention is necessary to stop a “rebellion” If the Supreme Court lets him get away with this, it’ll be the end of the First Amendment

Gavin Newsom: “Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He’s taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Fathers’ historic project. Three co-equal branches of independent government. There are no longer any checks and balances.“

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

Mike Johnson calls for Gavin Newsom to be tarred and feathered…for being a governor in a blue state. If any Democrat said this about a Republican, they’d be censored by the end of the day.

Meiselas: Terry Moran, if you’re listening, we’ve just learned that your agreement has apparently been terminated by ABC. We want you to know—you will always have a place here at The MeidasTouch Network.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.
