Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

From Trump and Bondi complete silence about the political assassinations in Minnesota. This is MAGA leadership, stoking and provoking violence at every turn.

“.. Trump keeps claiming that all the wars that broke out under his predecessor .. would never have happened on his watch, because he .. is so strong and universally respected. Well, here is a close US ally, Bibi, ignoring Trump’s wishes ..” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Has anybody asked Cuomo why he wants to be Mayor? Going from Governor to Mayor is a downgrade, even in NY. Could it be that he’s a power hungry megalomaniac who hates being out of the spotlight?

Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president. Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

We’re sounding the alarm because this is just wrong. This is not what a democracy looks like. If they can do this to a sitting US Senator on camera, imagine what they can do to you. Share. Speak out. And push your elected officials to do the same, especially the Republicans.

Call it assault, people. Senator Alex Padilla, California's first Latino senator was assaulted. Manhandled is a euphemism. He stopped trying to get free, and they threw him to the floor and cuffed him anyway.

House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior." So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

Call your reps. Tell them they need to draw a goddamn line. There are a huge range of procedural tools they can use to slow Congress to a crawl. Use it or lose it. (Scripts/language here.)
