Republican senator Mike Lee openly applauding the political murders in Minnesota, while simultaneously calling for the murder of its governor.

Trump’s move to halt an initiative to restore abundant salmon runs drew condemnation. “The Administration’s decision to terminate these commitments echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes,” a tribe member said. With @opb.org‬

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

Rupert Murdoch successfully disconnected roughly 1/3 of the American population from reality.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Trump's visa bans are preventing immigrant doctors from working, exacerbating the country's physician shortage. www.forbes.com/sites/emmawh...

From a miltiary post on Reddt..... 80 year old vet arrested at the capitol today for protesting against military force used on US citizens.

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

At the "No Kings" protest at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. Looks like several thousand people here.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

From the #NoKings protest in Orlando. Someone knows who this is. No quarter for Nazis. This man should never be able to find gainful employment again.

Klasfeld on Abrego Garcia case: One of the cooperating witnesses is serving a 30-year sentence. What comes out during the hearing is that: he’s getting leniency on his prison sentence, is now in a halfway house, and is also receiving favorable treatment with his immigration situation.

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

Folks it doesn't even *look* like a parade is supposed to look Like whoever planned this has never seen a parade

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

@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

The Washington Post is just doing out in the open, fascist propaganda now. This is what happens when you allow billionaires to own the media they back the fascists that are now engaged in a war against democracy and all of us.

Lots of mentions to the 3.5% rule when talking about the #NoKings marches today and that’s fine. But maybe today is good day to (re)read @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social’s reflections on how protests are one step in a long process of collective power-building. Today was a great day. Let’s keep going!

Per the old heads this is the biggest protest crowd Fayetteville NC's had since 1982

this is CRAZY.

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag, They're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief," They point the cannon at you.

Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

Karen Bass @mayor.lacity.gov is fucking fash. Destroy her career.
