If you can’t attend a protest tomorrow for any reason, and you can’t drive-by and honk either, the best way you can help us is by amplifying the videos and photos you see and especially by amplifying the articles you see from local and national publications. 1/2

I said this last night, but I’m saying it again, if you drive by a protest, whether intentionally or on accident, please honk! I know it feels counterintuitive because honking can feel negative but for a protest it is support and confirmation and 1/2

Thank you to the folks all over Europe who continue to show solidarity with the American people resisting fascism. I wish I could adequately convey how powerful your support is, and how much encouragement it gives us. Trump wants us to feel isolated, friendless, and you speak truth to his lies.

When Republicans pretend they don’t know about the Medicare cuts in their bill, don’t believe them.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Wow. Mayor Pete + HCR!

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

In addition to giving more tax cuts to billionaires, Trump’s Tax Scam would dramatically increase ICE’s budget. Keep up the pressure on your GOP senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or you can help us connect voters in key states with their Republican senators: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Proving yet again that Trump’s “energy emergency” was a fake, perpetrated to power up his corrupt stoogery for the fossil fuel industry, his big political donors. The energy emergency here is the corruption of energy policy.

Trump’s unnecessary and totally political deployment of the military is costing taxpayers $134 million. Even LA’s formerly Republican District Attorney said today local law enforcement resources were adequate to meet the needs of the protests.

Zelenskyy cleverly and very successfully attacked Russian military airbases with drones; Putin bombs a Ukrainian maternity hospital; Trump can’t figure out who the bad guy is. Trump/Russia is real.

Leaf blowers! ♥️

Trump is so desperate to distract from their attack on Medicaid that he’s threatening to arrest governors?

We should expect—demand—every elected Democrat to be loud in opposition to Trump exploiting our military against our own citizens on American soil. This is intolerable.

Trump is deploying the US Marines on Los Angeles, after deploying 2000 Nat'l Guard. If you are in the US Armed Forces & unsure of how to respond to an illegal order—you are not alone. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487 for free & confidential guidance: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-d...

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

WHEW.

pro tip: if you high-fived as cops were being bludgeoned with fire extinguishers on Jan 6, you don't get to say one fucking word about legitimate protests against ICE thugs and goons. just stick a fucking sock in it

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

On what’s happening in Los Angeles —and our country—right now. (If you can please donate to chirla.org and if you’re in CA sign up for rapid response with wearecalifornia.org)

I don’t understand why so many people can’t seem to grasp that they don’t care if they have legal authority to shoot people. Stop worrying about the insurrection act. Seriously just stop. The only way this regime falls is if people fight back.

Blue blossom ceanothus covered with native bees. I take comfort in knowing that we’ve created food and habitat for non-human life when the human world is increasingly off the rails…

Right now, Trump’s Tax Scam is being rewritten by Senate Republicans before heading back to the House for a second vote. Every change to the bill (and every day they take) makes it that much harder to pass both chambers. This is why we’re focused on delaying the GOP’s process as much as possible.

German chancellor understands the meaning of D-Day better than U.S. president.

“He’s not a strongman. He’s not even a leader. He’s a man throwing a tantrum because the world won’t revolve around him.” Trump’s allies are turning on him—Musk, Barrett, Powell—and he’s losing his grip. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-emp...

On Musk’s attacks on the Abominable Bill, Republicans say: “I think the question for our members is going to be, ‘Would you prefer the alternative?’ And the alternative isn’t a good one.” Yeah, it’s a bunch of angry billionaire donors not getting their tax favors.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Over 1,400 No Kings events are planned in all 50 states and abroad. We truly have the opportunity to make June 14 (the day of Trump’s military birthday parade) one of the biggest days of mass protest of our lifetimes, but we need everyone who's able standing with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

Dan Bongino left his podcast to cosplay as J. Edgar Hoover, and now he’s shocked that real jobs are harder than yelling into a mic for fanboys. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The North Country deserves leaders who won’t just throw their hands up and say “we’re all dying anyways” when it comes to protecting Medicaid, SNAP, and more.

Trump the Chump.

Republicans are selling death.

Dear Mr. President: Maybe if you stopped doing stuff that is so obviously, flagrantly illegal, and listened to real lawyers instead of MAGA stooges, you wouldn’t be constantly getting your ass kicked so badly in court. Just a thought.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

I take the subway by myself multiple times literally every day and the most memorable things that have happened recently are that a very cute dog in a purple sweater was on my train car a few days ago and today a guy with a cane got on and literally four people immediately sprang up so he could sit

Ike would have been kicked out of the GOP today for being the ultimate Antifa.
