Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

WCI will be attending Out!Raleigh this Saturday at 1pm! The event is hosted by LGBT Center of Raleigh and runs from 12-7pm. See you there!

Hey @amyklobuchar.com you need to call out your colleague Mike Lee for celebrating the assassination of Melissa Hortman. You need to make a big deal about this

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

It was really just a concept of a parade

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

1/3 Hey, if you’re not able to attend #NoKings events in person—whether it’s because of chronic pain, disability, mental health, caregiving, work, or just needing rest—you don’t owe anyone an apology. Your voice matters. Your safety matters. And you are still a powerful part of this movement. 💙

friendly reminder that celebrities like Orlando Bloom are not scientists, they’re just rich people with Instagram Bloom spent ~$13k on this bullshit pseudoscience scam

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Truth in advertising #caturday

Give it up for the Raging Grannies, here today in Chapel Hill, North Carolina! Let's Stop The Coup! #ncpol #NoKings

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Back at the Capitol in Olympia, WA #NoKings

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

MINNESOTA: “Shelter in place order in a 3 mile radius… white male, black body armor…” The 2 Democratic lawmakers’ spouses were also shot.

I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
