I think in our case we need to take it up to Diderot levels. #NoKings

Git it, DC! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Just a few snapshots I took during the #NoKingsProtest in #EugeneOr

#NoKings #EugeneOR #Oregon

Estimates from organizers and local law enforcement suggest that roughly 10,000 people showed up to #NoKings in #EugeneOR. Just our area did the same numbers as #Houston, #SaltLakeCity, #Milwaukee, and #Trump'sBirthdayParade. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣 Good. 😈

Not only that, they held protests against him. On his birthday. When he spent $14mil on himself and wasted military resources doing it. When only 5% of the projected 200k showed up. On his birthday. I hope he spends the next week in bed crying.

No Kings, Chicago #nokings #chicago

Holy shit, y'all! Chicago fell tf out!

Actual turnout was 5% of the expected, 10k showing up out of an expected 200k. $14mil, and he sat there fuming. Meanwhile, turnouts to protest him dwarfed his pity party. My petty bitch ass loves that for him. 😈

#EugeneOR showed out with flair for the #NoKings #protest. With no incidents to speak of, it stayed peaceful. Law enforcement and event organizers seemed to have coordinated well, so there wasn't any static. You make me proud to live here, Eugene. Thank you for today.

So... that's a thing. Rep Hortman and her husband are gone, and Sen John Hoffman and his wife were wounded but not killed. I carry all four of them with me in my heart today as I engage in Good Trouble™️. [ www.npr.org/2025/06/14/n... ]

Martin Luther King Jr. was labeled radical by the white establishment. The FBI spied on him, trying to take him down. He still chose nonviolence. Peaceful protest was his power—even when they called him dangerous. “Radical” doesn’t mean you’re wrong… it means you’re getting close to the truth.

You have no right to: - terrorize people - make others' lives more difficult - turn their day to day life & make it feel like a battlefield for survival - try to get people to break or destroy them Etc. Just b/c you don't like or agree w/: - who they are - what they have - what they look like Etc.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Donald Trump followed the authoritarian playbook this week. What can we do about it? On today's Coffee Klatch, we get some insight from Ezra Levin of Indivisible. https://youtu.be/8fOjNjPOEIU

This is today's strategy for addressing violent agitation during our peaceful protest. Don't agitate — deescalate!

Oh, the ICC has charges on file and an arrest warrant out, and they did that 21 Nov 24, meaning it'd have been easy to miss in our news about the then-impending second Agent Orange term. [ www.icc-cpi.int/news/situati... ]

What to do tomorrow: #NoKings

Latinx folks been keeping American bellies full for a long time and getting too little pay, benefits, and recognition for the work unless a politician uses them for a byline about how we should let them immigrate in as cheap labor. Stop dishonoring their work. Protect them. Enrich them.

Listen, Schmucker Carlson, you don't get a redemption arc. You aren't going to win over the left and resurrect your career.

We shouldn't, but we do.

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I distinctly recall a promise made by a certain Mango Mussolini to bring gas prices down. But then, he made a lot of those, didn't he...

Gross. Primary out all 75.
