Millions of Washingtonians that rely on Apple Health (Medicaid) won’t “get over it” when the GOP slashes funding and closes our hospitals.

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Congratulations to Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Robert Garcia for becoming the first openly-LGBTQI+ Member of Congress to serve as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

Trump’s Tax Scam to slash Medicaid and SNAP would also dramatically increase ICE’s budget. We need to keep up the pressure on GOP senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt... Or you can help us connect voters in key states with their Republican senators: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

🇺🇸✨ Save the Date: This 4th of July, join our peaceful sit-in & candlelight vigil. We gather to honor true freedom & dissent — the heart of independence. Location TBA. 🕯️❤️🤍 💙 #50501movement #50501ri #4thofjuly #independenceday #resist #powertothepeople #justiceforall

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE INSANITY. 👇👇

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

A friend in suburban San Diego woke up at 5:45 AM to flash bombs and masked armed men claiming to be from the government breaking into homes on street and disappearing people into vans. This is real and happening in America right now. This is Germany circa 1935. Don’t look away people

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

generalstrikeus.com We can continue with our marches as he ramps up illegal ICE raids against immigrants & spits on our Constitution but NOTHING will get them to switch course until there is a NATIONWIDE labor strike. U have to hurt the rich where it matters- in the purse!!! #belikeFrance

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Suspect has been captured in MN!

Proud of the #veterans who #protested in DC

Just received this encouraging update from Senator Hoffman's wife, Yvette, on their recovery in the hospital. Grateful for their progress and will continue to keep them in our prayers.

The side with the artists is always the right side of history. #seattle #wethepeople #nokings

Issaquah, WA. No Kings!

Amid this day of horrific political violence, we are grateful that 80,000 Minnesotans chose to come to our State Capitol, gathering together in peace. As we grieve the assassinations of our MN political leaders, we will continue to stand up for democracy. No Kings. No violence.

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

Chicago showed the 🤬 up ✊

#Olympia Washington turned out around 5k yesterday for #nokings #protest it was a beautiful sunny day around the fountain. Lots of flags and bubbles, dogs and kiddos, veterans and seniors. We had an amazing time with our community

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Proud to have been in this crowd estimated at 70000. This is Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. During my hours there I never saw a police presence. Right on!

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

There were an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 people in downtown LA today!

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

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

Back at the Capitol in Olympia, WA #NoKings

Hell yes, Olympia #nokings!

that's little rock, arkansas showing the hell up #nokings

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Another #NoKings from r/seattle

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
