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

EPIC response.

If you want a gag done right(ish) you gotta do it yourself. Credit to recorder movie scores on yt for the Imperial March cover.

NEWS: Massive shift in American discourse because of immigration policy.

Reminder: There was a bipartisan immigration reform policy in which both sides compromised but came up with a solution. trump told Republicans to ditch it because he wanted to run on immigration.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

James Baldwin makes it plain. Palestinians should not pay for Europes crimes against its own people and Israel was created to protest western interest.

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

Huge crowds in Philly

In New York, @revealnews.org's Cynthia Rodriguez spoke to Mirella Camacho, the daughter of immigrant parents, who told her how important it was to come out on their behalf:

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Perfect 🤣

We, the people, have spoken!

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Hear from marchers at today's vast No Kings rally in New York City: "I'm glad to see everybody out here right now, knowing that people's eyes are open—and they're fighting for what's right."

"You're showing solidarity with the vulnerable. ... Authoritarians can't stand that." lucid.substack.com/p/resistance...

"Donald Trump has wrecked America’s brand. He’s made crossing over from Canada a betrayal, bordering on treason, while turning the U.S. into a laughingstock around the globe." @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Closing the #NoKings march at the front leading folks in the #AssataShakur chant!

We may make the squeaking our ringtone

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings

Maine USMC Vietnam veteran Jeff Olson (1969-72) opposes domestic deployment of Marines: “it never was our mission and it shouldn’t be now.” #nokings Ellsworth #maine

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

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 no one attends your shitty dictator parade

Dear Congress, We don’t want a king. So do your jobs or resign. Sincerely, Americans who believe in the Constitution #RemoveTrump #NoKings

Today in downtown Los Angeles. We will stand our ground and won't back down. #NoKings #ICEProtest

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

🥹 Millions of Americans are coming together on this #NoKings Day to reject authoritarian overreach, defend democracy, and stand up for their communities.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

MAGA is unAmerican.

There's seriously no way he won 7 swing states...

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Now in Seattle, Washington at a No Kings Day rally: "We will not let the light of constitutional democracy flicker out simply because of one power-hungry orange man." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🇺🇸 NO KINGS! Live in Madison, Wisconsin. ✊

Shah: Recent events in Los Angeles have made it evident it's necessary now more than ever, for us to stand up against authoritarianism.. When troops are deployed to suppress dissent. History shows us that such actions only make the situation worse, not better.

Dispatch from Kingston, NY, where over 20% of the city population took to the streets to protest ⬇️

Greenberg: We're looking to the leaders who will fight for us, because even today there are folks among the Democratic Party who think we should roll over and play dead. Anyone seeing John Fetterman here today?

An INCREDIBLE showing for the NO KINGS rally in Woodland Hills, CA—a suburb in the valley of Los Angeles. A quick report from on the ground.

Los Angeles, CA #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay #June14

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

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
