New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" "Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."

Trump’s birthday bash was rocking.

Well done, San Diego. #NoKings

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

Simply impossible to believe Trump won all 7 battleground states after the massive anti-Trump rallies in all 50 states today!

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

When the State (in the most authoritarian meaning of the word) explicitly condones violence against political opponents, it is inevitable that individuals who align with the authoritarian vision of the State feel free to engage in political violence as well. www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesot...

Devastated that Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died by assassination. This horrible killing must be fully investigated with transparency to the public about all details, including the specific tactics used.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

“A mannequin simulating a child crossing the street .. was crushed over and over again by a Tesla equipped with a self-driving feature on Thursday — safety advocates' latest warning .. as it prepares to launch robotaxis on Austin roads.” @houstonchronicle.com $TSLA www.chron.com/culture/arti...

It’s going to be standing room only at the first annual Military’s Salute To A Draft Dodger’s Birthday Parade this weekend.

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

Hey internet - dox them all. Especially the front dude, who is high as a fucking kite.

#SaveMedicaidKillTheBill Medicaid cuts will strangle and close rural hospitals. People will die.

A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

Trump's insurrection playbook: provoke chaos in LA with unlawful military moves, then play the savior. Stephen Miller's ICE raids lit the fuse, yet they cry 'invasion.' Hypocrisy reigns when the arsonist douses the flames. #3E

@cnn.com What are you doing? Seriously.

Senate leaders just proposed legislative text for a sweeping budget bill that would mandate selling over 3 million acres of public lands. Congress must reject this bill and protect our lands and waters from lasting harm.

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

No Kings Day: Stand Up Now Or Lose It All I’m protesting Saturday. Because this is it. The line. Not here. Not now. Not ever. Because silence = surrender. Because our kids are watching. So is the world. Because if we don’t show up, who will? See 👇👇👇 open.substack.com/pub/mitchthe...

The fire crews are now understaffed and put in harms way. I hope and pray they remain safe. If anything does happen to these firefighters, there should be major hell to pay.

"They went public in the face of a “culture of fear and suppression” they say Trump’s administration has spread through the federal civil service." zurl.co/EZcMO #BethesdaDeclaration #StandUpForScience

“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

Rep. Adam Smith slams Trump and Hegseth: "We're going back to renaming bases after the Confederates... So we honour white supremacist slave-owning insurrectionists... Can we please just stop... A fear of a left-wing cultural revolution is not solved by launching a right-wing cultural revolution."

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

This is pretty incredible

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

“.. ‘This is another band aid. .. The Chinese can decide six months from now, ‘we don’t like what you said about the party,’ or ‘somebody was mean to Xi Jinping.’ They can decide that and cut off rare earths again.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

“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...

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

"For the first time in modern U.S. history, we are witnessing purely vindictive and retaliatory actions being taken against non-partisan civil servants who simply performed their jobs consistent with law and policy during prior time," said Me. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Why are Republicans betraying America's 170 million women and girls? To pad the pockets of just 900 billionaires.

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

🧪 #publichealth #VaccinesWork tinyurl.com/57zc4zck Very Orwellian notion that the way to "re-establish public confidence in vaccine science" is to fire an entire panel of experts. Sen. Bill Cassidy M.D. got played when he voted to approve RFK Jr. (on the promise that the panel would be maintained).
