Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

GOP never asks what they can do to win a group. They ask who they can blame for why they are losing them & how they can punish them Losing college educated - blame professors. Losing women - blame them, eliminate rape exceptions. Unions - right to work If Dems depended on churches they'd be taxed.

It's weird how people who want health care are being framed as emotional but the people who want women to die for routine care are not being framed as emotional.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Lots of folks asking about the #s at the nationwide June 14 No Kings actions. My team won't have our own estimate for a few weeks; we validate every record to the fullest extent possible. Our current data are updated through the end of May; see the piece below for our report on trends prior to 6/14.

Thank you @latimes.com. Our show tomorrow at The Hollywood Bowl is huge opportunity to continue sharing the traditional music of my ancestors, and I couldn’t be more grateful (and freaked out) to do it on such a large scale.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

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.

This is almost a month old; larger context is What Dems should do to get their message across (as an alternative to a progressive podcast host) In addition to people talking about what mega-donors want to do, how can we do a Dem message kickstarter campaign for this?

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Using a horse against humans by police is a Use of Force violation. Use of force violations are required to be investigated. & as we know their investigations are a sham. Fat chance of that occuring, but it is the law. No different than a shooting, beating, hitting w/a cop car.

We do need mass movement but I gotta say this. Folks who just got energized need to make space for the resentment of folks who have been shouting this whole time, including the left & Black people. People who are part of this collective who have legitimate bitterness at how they've been treated.

With war spreading through the world, Trump’s plan to use the US Army exclusively against American protesters is looking savvier by the day.

We have self-reports or news accounts from 320 of the 2,000 No Kings Day events across the US today. Up to an unofficial tally of about 575,000 people now. Extrpaolating from that, total would be around 4.5m people, or about 1.3% of the pop. Some error I'm sure. Thanks to everyone crowdsourcing!

As ICE agents descend on farmworkers, it's worth knowing: Most have worked the fields for a dozen years or more. They earn $20k/year. And they're not allowed to unionize. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!
