@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

About 1.5% of the U.S. population protested today. (Closer to 1.9% if you only count the adult population.)

I’ll be honest, it was worth the $45 million to have this parade, considering nobody came to it and he looks like a sad toddler

man that is a tight punchy 1000 words right there

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.

Shoutout to @doomtree.bsky.social whose whole thing has been “No Kings” for over 13 years

So, something that's funny is that the phone number for the Seattle branch of the National Lawyer's Guild is coincidentally 206-OK-TRY-ME. Just one of those weird facts!

Some context for why Mark Cuban is big mad about Bluesky

As I understand it, to block Cuomo, it's critical for everyone to fill out all five slots with non-Cuomo candidates. Here's Mamdani's (very fun) video explaining it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFGk...

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

it’s all sorts of bad data and a lot of correlation/causation but gotta admit it’s also an extremely funny 1-2

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

ea nasir is back baby awooo

I'm urging the democratic party to tone it down a little. They've heated things up all the way to "we might have to look into this," and I fear there's no going back from that kind of inflammatory rhetoric.

Another pro wrestler with better politics and a more clearly articulated moral stance than 99.9% of elected officials

Katie Wilson, the labor organizer and Transit Riders Union leader, won the sole endorsement of the 37th District Democrats in the Seattle mayor’s race yesterday. It’s a blow to incumbent Bruce Harrell, who lives in the 37th and represented the area on city council.

Exclusive: I have confirmed that the federal government is still refusing to process permit applications for land-based wind projects almost six months into the Trump administration. Not just offshore. It threatens untold billions of capital investments in the United States. via @heatmap.news

Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes told City Council members Tuesday that he plans to stand up for the First Amendment rights of Seattle residents and expects to be jailed at some point for making that stand.

Cops on horses hitting dudes in plaid shirts with sticks because the dudes are not walking quite fast enough? Anyway totally insurrectiony, very invasion.

This is the language of abuse. "Yes, he beats you, but you must not provoke him. Don't make him mad or he'll make it even worse." But it does not work. He beats you anyway because that's what he wants to do. He gets pleasure from it. And we can't even leave. There is no place for us to go.

Morello is the Bruce Springsteen of Gen X and Millennial Republicans. They are so mad at themselves for loving him.

WATCH: after we got shot last night, our comrade/lawyer @shakeer.bsky.social went over to ask for the pigs badge # & name. LAPD pig Rick Linton then told (& did) Shakeer that he was going to shoot if he kept asking questions. This is unhinged behavior! @mayor.lacity.gov has completely ok’d this!
