Paying my quarterlies fills me with rage. I hate hate hate being stuck in a system where my tax $$ could be funding healthcare for all, conservation, health research, food aid, a functional society...but instead it pays for golf trips, war, and corruption.

This would make this at least the 2nd shooting in recent years from someone who was a fan of Infowars. The 2016 Pizzagate shooter was also a known fan of the far-right conspiracy theory outlet. www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/a...

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Cincinnati, Ohio # #NoKingsDay

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Chicago is showing up.

Protesters singing seen by the south side of Bryant Park

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for #NoKings so damn proud of my fellow North Carolinians for standing up for Democracy. In America we don’t do Kings.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Arlington

Holy crap! No Kings Philly.
