There's a common thread between the attacks on Trans Care and Reproductive Care. Conservatives are making clear they value Procreation over Human Dignity and Mental Well-Being. And to those applauding who exert that control today: The Monster you've created will eventually come for us all.

No Trump, No KKK, No War With Iran Today. Newest chant brought to you by We the People.

I'm reading the Skrmetti decision now. One thing that pops out early is the reliance on Geuduldig, a case that ruled a state insurance program that exempted pregnancy did not count as sex discrimination against women. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Transgender care for minors struck down predicated on a previous ruling allowing insurance companies to discriminate against pregnant women. Who will be next.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Sen. Alex Padilla on the Senate floor: "If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they'll do to any American who dares to speak up." "I pray you never have a moment like this."

'No Kings' protest organizers announce July 17 as next massive demonstration against dictator-wannabe Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime. Let's fucking go! 🙌💪👏👊👇 tinyurl.com/388dfx7k

I’m watching #Nokings What’s Next with Indivisible.

⚡️North Korean losses exceed 6,000 in Russia's Kursk Oblast, UK intelligence reports. North Korea has lost over 6,000 troops in Russia’s Kursk Oblast—more than half of its deployed force, according to a June 15 UK defense intelligence report.

A birthday wish from Americans‼️

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.

"No Kings" protest in Oak Park, IL (Chicago suburb). Marchers filled up both sides of Lake Street half a mile long from Oak Park Ave to Harlem Ave. #NoKings

#SleepyDon fell asleep at his own parade.

Monhegan Island may be tiny, but today it stood tall. From lobster traps to lighthouse views, islanders raised their voices to say: no kings, no fascists, no fear. Even 12 miles out to sea, democracy finds defenders. #NoKings

Just outside our nation’s capitol ,a living artery of rebellion stretched eight miles long—thousands standing shoulder to shoulder, not in silence, but in storm. They carried no torches, only truth. No kings, no crowns, no billionaires bleeding us dry. This isn’t chaos. It’s clarity. #NoKings

#ProudBlue Way to go Fort Worth, TX. This is powerful Link to video: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rLg2mD/

#ProudBlue A man intentionally drove his car into protesters in Virginia. At least one person is injured. The violence is coming from MAGA, not the left as Trump says. The projection is real. Stay safe everyone. @aaronparnas.bsky.social reporting.

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

#NoKings in Nashville The crowds were huge in this ruby red state. Thousands peacefully protested in Nashville today ❤️ #Pinks

Tremendous police presence outside the ICE Field Office right now, where a few hundred dedicated protesters have made their way after the earlier rally today dispersed. (video from source) Shortly after we left downtown, reports of a police brawl and four arrests there came in.

Lady Liberty does NOT come with a prenup!! We showed up in my rural hometown!!

Looking back on the protests today made me think, MAGA never protested Biden because he wasn’t stealing their rights. Trump is gutting lives, freedoms, futures. We’re in the streets because we’re being crushed, erased & we're pissed off! MAGA rallies around a man. We rally around values

Organizers call for persistence against Trump as thousands attend Helena 'No Kings' rally helenair.com/news/state-r... #mtpol #nokings

#ProudBlue They even showed up in deep red West Virginia. One pf my other besties was out representing in Wheeling, WV! #NoKings @cathyd167.bsky.social thank you for being such a brave warrior.

Damn! On Flag Day / No Kings Day Walnut Creek, CA was expecting 3000-4000 people. Instead, the #NoKingsDay crowd was over 6000. People have had ENOUGH of Donald Trump Hitler. Not a MAGAt in sight. Here is Rep Mark DeSaulnier (CA07)

NEW: The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for the suspect in the fatal shooting of a Minnesota lawmaker
