For anyone going to the No Kings events today: remember to turn off face recognition on your phone and put it in airplane mode. Good luck everyone!

On this day of nationwide #NoKings protests against Trump, a reminder that Senate Republicans put language in the fast-moving GOP tax bill to make it too expensive for anyone to sue the Trump admin for lawlessness. They are trying to let him rule as a king. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

People in other countries see what America is becoming. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"There's no precedent for a nationwide preemptive deployment of the military [to police protests]. That's not something that happens in the United States of America." - @lizagoitein.bsky.social www.nationaljournal.com/s/728762/qa-...

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

The way the ICE officer, who looks like a middle-aged guy who's probably been doing the job for years, just casually tosses off that line... My guess would be that he felt he was doing her a favor; he was being reasonable within the bounds of his orders. But it's the orders that are unreasonable.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):

Part of this is that very often it IS true that starting to act on a ruling, then reversing course if it’s overturned, is a lot more costly & onerous than just delaying a week or two. But that shouldn’t just be assumed, and it’s very much not the case here.

Very interesting thread.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

Remember, in America only the secret police get to wear masks

ICE agent at a workplace raid: “you guys understand we have a signed warrant to be here” Worker: “And here’s my bag of f*cks”

Last time a royalist army occupied DC they also tried it during the summer rainy season and were chased out by massive thunderstorms complete with a tornado touching down on Constitution Ave.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

I may not be able to top this one no matter how much I cruise the feeds. I'm actually a bit choked up at this.

When you spent $25 million on your birthday party but the tanks were old and the clown wasn’t funny and the taco bowls didn’t have enough cheese and all the cool kids went to a different party.

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

For years, right wingers' favorite attack on government overreach was a single memo written about a Nazi's attempt to infiltrate a far right Catholic Church, which they claimed was an attack on the Catholic Church. And now they're leading the attack.

Ever check your bank account transactions and think "I could've just starved. I wasn’t that hungry. It was not that serious."😒🥘

Use airplane mode to hang up on people. They will see "call failed". instead of "call ended". It's better & more polite.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Apologize when you are wrong. Stop looking for quotes that support your stupídity.

I just be looking at my son when he do stuff like cmon be fr 🥴😂

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Happy Barack Obama Appreciation day!!

Im tired of there "they're coming for black people next" Booskie we HAVE AKWAYS BEEN the primary targets. And we tried to tell yall stupid dumb fs that.

President Obama surfing. An intelligent athletic wildly popular President during retirement. He served America well.

When I retire you’ll know. There will be signs like this: President Obama

America didn’t want this. You played yourself.

President Obama When America was sane

I chose the images of President Obama with intention. Black excellence doesn’t announce itself, it merely shows up. This pathetic traitorous felon parading as President with the lowest approval ratings, the worst global image, and protests on his birthday are really something.

Racist officer Big Mac with no neck is making all those threats when he can’t even piss correctly because he can’t find his dick. When and why do we allow these obese white cops who clearly cannot run, cannot jump, can barely breathe while saying racist shit sweating in front of cameras.

When degenerate trash that pays less than $300 for sex workers to give them fake validation and touch their teeny tiny penis crash the fu k out I. my comments telling on themselves … it isn’t flattering. It’s pathetic.

When I was in middle school our music teacher was so nice. Some of the kids who wanted to join couldn’t afford instruments. He sorted them out with instruments of his own. Instruments he bought at yard sales and such. He made sure every kid who wanted to play got to play. He was a good man.

“Where is Obama now?” Idk prob doing what retired Presidents do. Where’s the smoke for your demographic that performed waaaaay below the Black demographic? Worry about that and less about what a retired Black President is doing. Its giving Jim Crow let’s keep tabs on the “freed men”

I am direct. It’s refreshing.
