Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.

Urgent community action needed by Monday! “DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated” This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

Tens of thousands came out to #NoKings San Diego. Zero arrests. The only violence is that I was stung by a bee.

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

I was once again reminded today of how much I enjoy being around people who give grace to others and who just want to make things better for themselves and their communities. No posturing, no pontificating, just wanting to figure out how to be with each other and what to DO.

The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the alleged assassin in Minnesota. But shouldn't a political assassin go straight onto the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list?

These are unspeakably dark and horrific times. Going out today and standing with people who are demanding that this country become better than it is feels so small. But also, and crucially, it feels better than doing nothing.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

If you’re participating in No Kings this weekend, document everything. Upload to social media, but store in another more secure place. Keep a hard copy. Back it up. Tell your story. Write down atrocities by hand if you can. Keep it somewhere safe. Future generations are counting on us.

I have habit which I will transfer to Bluesky now; posting a picture every year of the Edinburgh sky in summer. Broad daylight at 10pm... I'll never tire of this. (Yes, looks like a thunderstorm is coming)

I just emerged from the deep state woke Marxist meeting to control the weather for tomorrow’s small dictator parade. I can report things are on track and we are ready for space laser deployment. More soon.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The first unconstitutional arrest of a U.S. citizen by our own active Marines is Black man. That was intentional.

đź“ŚA United States Senator was tackled, pinned to the ground, and handcuffed for asking a question in his own damn city, and the corporate media is moving on like it was just another day ...

The treatment of Senator Padilla was undemocratic and disgraceful. But I think the prosecution of Congresswoman McIver (D-NJ) is much worse. People should be more outraged about that.

A politician rudely interrupting someone? They do it here in the UK every week during Prime Minister's questions. Nobody gets assaulted and handcuffed. It's called democracy.
