It most certainly is!

“How Trump’s assault on science is blinding America to climate change” | New article from @eenews.bsky.social by Scott Waldman: www.eenews.net/articles/how...

Donald Trump just laid bare his real immigration plan: 1) Target blue cities 2) Inflame tensions, divide families and stir up more chaos 3) Placate the MAGA base at the expense of our economy. Trump’s extreme policies are tearing the country apart and bad for America.

America is strong not because of our President, but because of our people. Our flag flies for no dictator. Our nation bows to no king. Today, of all days, we must remember that.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

EPIC response.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Me at the No Kings rally in Beaverton, OR. 👊🏼🇺🇸

More than 1 million in Boston! www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Y’all’s sign game was on point today 🏆

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Selected comments from the NY POST CHAT for the Trump Micropenis Parade: * "I've seen more people at a kindergarten parade" * "What an epic fail" * "The UFC is sponsoring federal events now?" * "Okay this is getting sad now" * "Criiiiiinge" * "There is no one there" * "This is such a boring parade"

puny parade vs millions for No Kings. Trump the loser once again

With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Chattanooga is In The House!! #NoKings

Fantastic turnout in historic Hillsborough, N.C. Nothing but peaceful protest, great speeches, imaginative signs, honking cars, waving flags, and a strong sense of community. @meidastouch.com @aaronparnas.bsky.social #reclaimourflag #NoKingsDays

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

#maga #nokings

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

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

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Climate.gov will likely soon shut down, as most of the staff charged with maintaining it were fired. 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Didn't even make the front pages this morning Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property." DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may've still been a DHS team. religionnews.com/2025/06/13/i...

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in Los Angeles are launching an insurrection. They’re not. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]
