I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Adding: Hoffman entered public service because he could not get health insurance for Holly, now in her 20s, who was born with a disability and is now an amputee. He’s a relentless advocate. This morning his wife threw herself on Holly and was shot in her stead. MN disability community in shock.

I don't know if this is helpful or fruitful or even correct. Folks out there who are more knowledgeable than me can decide :)

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Jasmine Crockett telling it how it is!

“Social Media is a negative space. You don't exist unless you say something vaguely original or controversial. And controversial is easier. The majority of people lack the capacity to articulate something original. That leaves only one avenue to being noticed - to existing."

Starmer never promised miracles – that’s the sort of thing Boris Johnson did. But things are improving slowly but surely.

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... A political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has ever held power after 3.5% of its population takes to the streets. Let's go!!!

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

NO KINGS DAY I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Americans who wake up every morning and put their lives in death's path for us deserve a better leader then this Don guy.

I. Miss. This. President. Each. And. Every. Day. I miss the feeling of hope. The warm glow of humour. The humanity of not always getting it right. The frustration of not achieving everything. The straight talking. The intelligence. The family values & bipartisanship . The ideals and morality.

"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC

Best POTUS. Ever…

I love these two. Two of the best Presidents that we have had in my lifetime. 💙

#GVerse #Disturbing - Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under #Shit4Brains and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share. Repost!!!

The 7 Deadly Sins symbolically and practically related to authoritarianism in modern-day America: Pride – Arrogance of Power Manifestation: Authoritarian leaders often exhibit excessive nationalistic or personal pride, claiming they alone can "fix" the country. (1/15)

This is just such a wonderfully lovely piece by @arnokopecky.bsky.social. Read it. thewalrus.ca/a-son-a-scie...

Imagine if Obama had done a FRACTION of what Turnip is doing... #NoKings

Israel has just hit the South Pars Phase 14 gas refineries which sit on the world’s largest natural gas field.

😡 russians cut off Ukrainian soldier finger. When he asked why, they answered: "You don't need it anymore." Russia is a terrorist state!

I have had death threats mailed to my home. SWAT team sent to my apartment, the LAYOUT of my apartment posted online…this is not normal, this is domestic terrorism

According to Ukrainian monitoring channels, around 400 russian Shahed-type attack drones are expected over our cities tonight. Approximately 100 attack drones have already been recorded in the skies above the cities. The night could be anxious. damn russia

🇺🇦💔 This is a Ukrainian soldier originally from Slovyansk, Donetsk region, who was returned to Ukraine during today's exchange. In captivity, the Russians took away his finger, "justifying" it by saying that "he no longer needed it."

Big turnout in Boise, Idaho for the #NoKings rally
