We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

A common reaction I get when talking about these events is "what is going on?!" It's so sad to me, because this is what the IPCC, climate scientists, etc. have been warning us about when we pass 1.5C. This is what happens. We lose the "Goldilocks" climate were used to on Earth. We are being failed.

under every fresh rock you turn over is another finance industry shitbag who gave Trump a lot of money and has no business overseeing a government agency, this nomination would have been a scandal for any other administration but it’s just how this one works

Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

If you’re still of the opinion that “protests don’t matter” I’d like you to take note of all the quisling Democrats this week who are belatedly noticing that their future careers now clearly depend on them fucking DOING something

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

AND... the Ukranian response is NOT to target the Russian civilian population, but rather to go for military targets. How much clearer can anyone communicate this disparity??

A sane President would see the chaos that he engineered in LA as a mistake to avoid replicating. But for Trump it was simply the opening battle of his authoritarian takeover of major power centers controlled by his political enemies.

A classic, Dark Night™ Hybrid Tea Rose flowers in abundant and continuous waves over a long season, from late spring to late fall. Borne singly and rather unusually colored, the large cup-shaped blooms have 25 reflexed deep velvet red petals with a creamy ocher yellow reverse suffused with red.

Oh yeah. This is scary to do, irl. But it's needed. Try to have someone (anyone) else recording this in real time (and uploading the video to the cloud.) These "ICE Agents" and other LEO people need to be held accountable for theor otj actions!!!

And it is definitely going to come back to hurt those bigots who want to "deport the illegals," once they finally discover that they are the people who are doing a huge aomunt of the low-wage jobs in their area!

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

I do wonder about the % that's in the urban/urban suburbs areas, as that seems to describe an even larger part of our country (than just "urban," IMHO.)

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."

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
