Can't California pass a state law requiring all law enforcement agents to display names and badges, barring masks, etc.?

👀

This is what happens when the most action you’ve taken against an authoritarian regime is to say the banning of gender affirming care for minors is a distraction

Brutal.

This senator should be Censured or Removed from office. This is disgraceful

And there it is. It’s not about safety or the other whitewashing bullshit. It’s about elections. Republicans are trying to break the Democratic strongholds. Notice how there are no mention of cities in Red States?

I promise y’all: marching in step is quite easy. Nothing difficult about it. That bad marching was intentional. I guarantee it.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This is so, so important: these smaller-in-size regional protests. It's not just big cities! It's people in small towns, too.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Rule of thumb: if there’s more people in the parade than there are people watching the parade, it’s not a successful parade.

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

The right wing claims that: 1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left 2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS: 1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters 2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

nervous to go to protests? Don’t be. They will be peaceful family affairs. Go with a group, peel off if anything makes you nervous, don’t stay to the bitter end. This moment calls for all Americans to express their rights. And when some cannot, it’s important for others to stand in their place.

Their reward for serving their country is being punished for being punished for who they are by people who have never spent a day in public service, even if they are now in the government bsky.app/profile/eric...

Removing people from public service because of their identity is the grossest and least-defensible form of anti-trans bigotry.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

😂

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

And herein lies the closing act of the tech billionaires’ plot. Dump the useful idiot (Trump). Replace him with Thiel’s groomed puppet (JD Vance) Complete the tech coup. Build the network state.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

DOGE stole all of the government’s data about everyone in America and only cost taxpayers $135 billion. What a deal!

RFK Jr and Oz are really pumping out the “good Americans don’t require medical care” line these days. That never ends well.

So, we're less than 90 days into this shit show and: - Grocery prices still high - Trillions in wealth lost because of dumb tariffs - People being snatched off the street and disappeared - Ukraine war still going - Thousands of veterans fired But at least they made trans people feel shitty, right?

every goddam adviser on the trump campaign was all “yea we’re going to destroy the economy” and every analysis of the trump campaign policy was like “yea theyre going to destroy the economy” and still we got this bull shit from these assholes

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now. Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government. What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising. 🇷🇸

It may be too late for Hungary. Can we please do this in America before it's too late here?

If Chuck Schumer replaced Aragorn at the Battle of the Morannon: There may come a day when the courage of men fails—when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. And it is THIS DAY. This day we surrender! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you run!

Exactly

REPORTER: Are you considering revoking the TPS status for the more than 20,000 Ukrainians who live here in the US? TRUMP: What are you saying? REPORTER: TPS status. TRUMP: On GPS?

Again, what’s worst about this isn’t that Trump is a petty and narcissistic freak supported by sycophants — that’s already priced in — but that so many Americans are willing to demean themselves by pretending this is okay. Trump thrives because America has so many shitbirds.

One by one, every Dem should heckle like Green and be proudly thrown out by him. Not sure why all these Dems showed up tbh. They should have followed @aoc.bsky.social's lead and stayed away.

I am expecting this and smoke bombs tonight by our lawmakers or else I am going up to start doing it everyday in the chambers #REVOLUTION2025

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com
