The Not In Our Name petition by cis women opposed to the transphobic actions of the government, establishment and mainstream media has now passed 34,000! Amazing for a petition started on three weeks ago and with no media/wealthy sponsor. www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

My quote of the day To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture. Thomas Paine

You know what goes hand-in-hand with violent crackdowns? Gaslighting. They will beat you and tell you that you are crazy for saying that you just got beaten. Propaganda is not free speech; it's what authorities use to mask their violence. It is, in fact, part of the violence.

While all eyes are on LA, Maine Governor Janet Mills has some things to say about making the bully blink. Quoting her father: “You can’t let bullies have their way. They never stop.” I will forever associate “see you in court” with Gov. Mills. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/13/o...

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

Trump and MAGA claim they own American values, but we're the ones who are really representing American values in this moment: Freedom, standing up for our neighbors, and doing what's right. We hope to see you in the streets on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This! These are the protests you go to if you’re just getting started or if you haven’t protested in donkey years or if you’ve got middle-graders or older coming with you. Go during the day, wear sunscreen and a hat, carry water, carry masks, and if things feel hinky, fade. It’s all good.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

"While it’s billed as a celebration of the United States Army’s 250th birthday plus Flag Day, the former isn’t true, and the latter is so trivial that federal workers don’t get the day off. Conveniently, June 14 is also Trump’s birthday."

1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

@jvl.bsky.social: "Having a mass of popular opposition to Trump visible this weekend is vitally important....If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?" www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...

Your daily reminder that Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act, and therefore any use of military forces to engage in the ordinary business of domestic law enforcement is illegal. I do not think saying so has any magical power but think it’s worth noting so I will continue to do so.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Border Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

Yep—also, as James and Miriam point out near the beginning here, if you show up tactically decked-out at an event where the vibe is sun protection and hydration, people may reasonably suspect you are a cop, fed, or at least an unpredictable person www.liveliketheworldisdying.com/protest-heal...

You remember that advice from six months ago that the correct response to authoritarianism is broadly "fuck you, make me"? This is where it plays in. Trump cannot possibly win the fight he's picking. Make him try.

A monarchy is a system stripped of balancing feedback. The king doesn't have to change behavior no matter the pain of the people or the land or the prospects of the future. A nervous system that doesn't respond to the pain of a finger on a hot stove is also a system stripped of balancing feedback.
