Pope Leo XIV will address a packed baseball stadium in Chicago on Saturday, greeting a U.S. audience directly for the first time and offering a glimpse of the potential impact of the first American papacy.

Tomorrow is the big day. Our goal: to show the power of the 3.5% rule right here in the U.S. Over 100,000 coalition members and their families will be attending events across the country to help as needed.

Happy Perade Day smooth brains….

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with. It stays with you, spiritually.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

Saw this on Instagram and dug it. #NoKings

Shameful.

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

It’s actually quite dismaying how many supposed left-wingers on this website are shitting on No Kings / discouraging protesting this weekend because… *checks notes* *checks notes again, disbelievingly* “people who might be cringe might also show up”

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

ICE picked the wrong neighborhood 💥

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release. I've posted this photo to alter your brain biochemistry for the better 🌿

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

HAPPY “OBAMA APPRECIATION DAY!!” Enjoy. 😎🇺🇸✨

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

From the last time Americans said "no kings"

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Two Minnesota state lawmakers, plus spouse of one of them, reportedly shot in targeted shootings. The suspect is allegedly posing as a member of law enforcement. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

This is an actual current headline in the USA: "TRUMP TROOPS ARREST VETERANS"

U.S. diplomats in Tel Aviv had to request assistance from the Marine Corps because so much of the local guard force had been activated by the IDF, per diplomatic cable leaked to me.

Look at that, they fired all those "DEI reporters" to suck up for nothing. Nice job complying in advance, assholes

OMG. According to two members of Congress that just conducted an inspection and confirmed horrible conditions at the ICE detention center where unrest led to 4 people escaping, apparently people were able to escape because an EXTERIOR WALL was made of drywall and wire mesh!

I would say he follows her around like a puppy dog but so far he has survived.

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

If you are in a Red state, no doubt you are hearing all sorts of things right now. Whether it's calling up of National Guards, declaring states of emergencies, extra cops on duty. You all get it. Make NO mistake, they are terrified and trying to get you to STAY HOME! It's a ruse. nokings.org

Kristi Noem is against political theater.

ICYMI — “LIE!!” Dems heckled Speaker Johnson as he tried to put all the blame on Senator Padilla

"Whats this line item?" "Counterintelligence, sir" "It says they bought over 10,000 pizzas in FY25?" "Yes, sir"

I think all they’ve really managed to do this week is encourage more people to turn out for the No Kings protests. Being underwater on every issue before July is pretty impressive.
