Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

no one came to a grown man's GI Joe themed birthday party and that's somehow funny to you??

Get their asses Adrián

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

It looks like today was the largest single-day protest since 1970

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

When politicians talk about "doing immigration the right way" remember that I, a 7th generation American citizen, had family who were given citizenship through the arduous process of rolling off a boat while drunk and landing face-down in the mud and sewage in NY Harbor.

The view from my 73 year old mom's very first protest. #NoKings in Pocatello Idaho

Queens out here saying NO KINGS can I get a hell yeah

No picture can do this justice. So many people out here in San Diego, I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve got tears in my eyes #nokings

The thing about the military attempting to take over a city is that the people aren't scared. The administration wishes the citizens were as weak and scared as @schumer.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov. Don't worry Elissa, we'll do the job you can't do. But you'll be fired when it's over.

Sometimes I get DMs and sometimes I answer.

Today is a really good time for this reminder: Fighting fascism is exhausting, at best. A core tenet of fascism is making life miserable for nonfascsists. It is ok but also IMPERATIVE that you take the time to do something that brings you joy. It’s not selfish. It is self-preservation.

AND IT MUST NOT RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDING AND BE DISBANDED

My mother, who does not attend protests, is going to a No Kings event in her area. She's an older woman with debilitating health problems, so this is a big outing for her. For the people acting like these events might be scary, my 67-year-old mom with arthritis and COPD is attending. You'll be fine.

Turns out when you let your law enforcement wear masks and refuse to identify themselves, other people take advantage of that too. Jesus.

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

In additional to being strategically smart, this is just another incredibly well done video. They make you want to believe in politics.

3 months ago Jake "The Troops" Tapper did a story about Afghan translators worried about their status in the US, I wonder if he will do a follow up now edition.cnn.com/2025/03/03/w...

If you can’t afford a therapist and need some sort of vague substitute (this describes a lot of people, including myself at times!), please please please check out a workbook on DBT or ACT or something from your local library instead of giving your deepest fears to the amoral plagiarism machines

That's what I've been saying. We ARE being invaded. BY THEM!

And that's the whole point. They have to TRY. It's not that they have to succeed, it's that they have to draw boundaries for what is tolerable and make arguments to defend the constitutional order, which includes calling for impeachment of Trump and his cabinet members. That's their job.

At some point the current sitting congress needs to grapple with the reality that they are it. They are the reps who will decide our fate as a nation, not whatever assortment may be seated almost two years from now. Their job is not to bide their time until the next election but to act, imminently.

so anyway made a bunch of flyers for the protest on my lunch break
