Oh wow I missed this one! Along with Randi, me, and Leah, I can see @timothysnyder.bsky.social, Rabbi Kleinbaum, @ruwaromman.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social's Rob Weissman, @arndreaking.bsky.social, MLK III, and around 100,000 Americans showing up in defense of democracy! Incredible.

One of Trump's first actions was to pardon Jan 6 insurrections. He offered a “get out of jail free” card to people who committed violence on his behalf. And he continues to spew hateful rhetoric towards his political opponents. This will only fuel more violence.

This was the type of headline I was hoping for. When millions of people voluntarily show up around the world to oppose the President, and he can't even _pay_ enough people to come to his stupid birthday parade, that's a sign that democracy still has a chance in the USA.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

The national guard’s deployment in Los Angeles sets the US on a familiar authoritarian pathway. History shows the results. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/09/trump-police-state-robert-reich

Remember when Republicans said Trump’s Tax Scam wouldn’t touch Medicare? They were lying.

Most Dems voted against this, including Kim & Warnock who bravely broke with Dem senators from their home states. But shame on the 16 Senate Dems who sided with Trump on this industry-friendly crypto bill. I am just exhausted at this Party's willful incompetence. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

Cases of measles, salmonella, listeria, and hepatitis A and C have spread throughout the country. But since Trump's inauguration, CDC newsletters, health alerts about disease outbreaks, and other communications have largely stopped. "Make American Healthy Again."

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we? Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

I am highly concerned abt Zelenskyy’s safety if he meets Putin in Turkey. Putin won’t hesitate to have him arrested and Erdogan would be willing to help. THERE ARE NO RULES ANYMORE, Boys & Girls. Bottom line: I don’t think he should go. Meet in Geneva.
