THIS is why we all must protest, even if you are not the oppressed, get out there and raise your hand for those who cannot do it right now!

Right now, the best, most freeing, most helpful thing you can do is be honest about your anger, your disbelief, your unbelief, your disappointments, doubts, and worries. Chances are, the people around you have them all, too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-one-is-...

open.substack.com/pub/lincolns... As citizens , we have a responsibility to our country and each other. No Kings Day. Be there.

The orange felon says he will phase out FEMA this year as well as cutting federal aid from states needed to respond to natural disasters. He wants people poor, homeless, sick, suffering, jobless, fully obedient to him or dead. He’s not a president, he’s a blood thirsty dictator.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

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

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."

Show me your signs for Saturday!!!!

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Too bad nobody told us this was all gonna happen…

Is anybody surprised at this selection of biased, irrelevant, non-credentialed folks??? apnews.com/article/cdc-....

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Entire Fulbright board quits in mass revolt over Trump assault www.rawstory.com/trump-quit-p...

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

Democracy is strong and functioning in Minnesota.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

What is the cost of sending National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, where they are not needed? What is this political theater costing taxpayers? Talk about WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.

It’s at the point where nearly every time something happens, there’s a clip of her warning us it was coming 🤦

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

🤔

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:

I am ashamed of you, Christians whom I worshipped alongside, ministered with, and cared for, who are willfully and unapologetically partnering with this wasteful violence against the Transgender community.

There is no way he won all 7 swing states.

I just found this incredible "Impact Counter" tool created by Dr. Brooke NIcols, a math and infectious disease expert at BU. This estimates the human toll resulting from cuts to U.S. foreign aid by DOGE.. According to this model, the cuts have led to 300,000 deaths globally. www.impactcounter.com

(Gift article) An “impact counter” developed by an economist estimates that about 300,000 people have died so far from the reductions in American assistance, two-thirds of them children. The death toll is said to be rising at a rate of 103 per hour www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o....

The only people I do have a problem with are those who see compassion as a character flaw. This is what those who accuse me of hatred are actually outraged by. They don't hate my hatred; they hate how many people I love. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/love-is-of...
