Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

Good trouble in Phoenix

#NoKings

We need to protest. No doubt. And I understand the anger flowing through our community but violence won’t move the agenda forward. It only serves to make tyranny justifiable in the eyes of our opposition. Stay safe . Keep it peaceful. Let’s go! 👊🏽

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

This is how it’s done!!!

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

New in PN: We've reached the indicting the opposition stage of fascism "The charges against McIver are thin, to say the least. And none of this can be separated from the intensifying chaos around us, as ICE thugs rampage in the streets and Republicans target Democratic politicians."

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

💡 We realized that there are quite a few elected officials that aren't familiar with the Constitution. We're making it our mission to help remind them. We've already covered some amendments, so we'll start from the top and make our way through them. Today is brought to you by the OG -- #1!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Message from RBG

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

I send my energy against the chaos. In word and action, all that I do has a single intent: to calm & strengthen. I direct the authority Spirit has given me at the center of the conflict. When I do, I feel the chaos diminishes. Join me. Focus on the core of chaos and release your love. Charleston

This is an important distinction. #USDemocracy

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

ICE, if you want to be legit, take down the masks, and follow the laws of the constitution, and not the orders of a dictator.

#Resist

Let me try this again… @repgregstanton.bsky.social can you please explain your reasoning on this?

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.
