The same little man who endlessly complains about being clipped by a bullet to the ear refuses to make a simple call to offer condolences to Gov. Walz and the grieving families in MN? No empathy. No humanity. Just pure, unchecked narcissism. #FuckTrump

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Hard to argue with that.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

"Stephen Miller can never come home" reads a sign at the #NoKings rally in Santa Monica. Ouch. But so true #maddow

BREAKING: A federal court just blocked Trump’s passport policy. Trans people across the U.S. may now be eligible to update their gender markers—including “X”—without medical documentation. But the window may not stay open for long. 🧵

Always.

What a terrible shame it would be if all those ICE agents stopped getting paychecks lol www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

"The law gives police broad power to use physical force. But for a sheriff to claim prospectively that his office will hospitalize someone who commits a misdemeanor, whether or not the situation requires physical force seems . . . interesting."

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

"Peace & prosperity" update: We regret to inform you…

“6:15 p.m.—Mitchell Regional Public Safety dispatch in South Dakota issued a ‘Be on the lookout’ for a maroon Buick at 4:35 p.m., saying the driver … may be traveling with ‘the person that was involved in the [Minnesota] homicide considered armed and dangerous.’” www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

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

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

The orange turd is arresting veterans at the Capital steps. Tune to the Don Lemon show on YouTube!

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

Barber: A would be king has ordered U.S. troops to occupy Los Angeles and parade down the streets of Washington DC. We are here to say that is not who we are

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

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

Chicago ✊

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

I love the fact that Trump’s birthday parade today was a total dud, with a pathetically tiny crowd. That contrasts with the MILLIONS of people who turned out nationwide for the “No Kings” protests against Trump. #NoKingsDay

Is this who we are now? 🫣😑 Arresting 80yo veterans for protesting against a POTUS who has gone full-tilt autocrat?

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Every single DEM in Congress who doesn’t stand up and shout against the goons who battered US Senator Alex Padilla had better get primaried out of existence.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
