Jamie Raskin: We've got no kings and we've got no slaves, we've got no masters and no serfs...The moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people, that is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again.

Trump’s ”Big, Beautiful Bill” is not just ugly…it’s actually pretty dumb.

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

USA protesting Trump vs Trump's $45 million birthday parade. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

TODAY 6/14/25, we peacefully make our voices heard... NO KINGS!* 🇺🇸 *Also NO: CONVICTED FELONS/PATHOLOGICAL LIARS/DRAFT DODGERS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS/SHORT-FINGERED VULGARIANS/MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS & ANYONE WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY a/k/a TRAITORS ✊

We will ruin your dictator day. All across America, the true patriots and the Meidas Mighty will engage in the largest peaceful protests in history. Enough is enough. You have pushed us to the brink, and we will not take it anymore. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

"Trump signed an executive order in April to 'restore American seafood competitiveness' but in revoking the Columbia River agreement has canceled millions of dollars to support the programs that seed the ocean with fish to catch." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

My statement on protests happening across the State of Maryland this weekend:

The Republican tax bill adds a mountain of red tape and bureaucracy for people who are eligible for Medicaid. That's right: the party that brought you "DOGE" wants to make government LESS efficient so they can take health care from millions of Americans. I have a better idea⬇️

"You have to wonder what else would they do or what else are they doing to people who don't have titles next to their names when immigration enforcement actions are happening with no cameras around." @padilla.senate.gov joins @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

Emanuel: You have the 250th anniversary of the US Army. Rather than making it about everyone who makes up that 250-year family of service—to the country, to the Constitution, and to the ideals of the United States—Trump has decided to make it about the most important person in his view: Donald Trump

"Experts say the FAQ's citations distort some legitimate studies and cite others that are disputed and unpublished. "In two instances, the HHS memo makes claims about dangers to pregnant women that are actively refuted by the papers it cites to back them up..." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

Thank you Senator Padilla. We’re inspired by your courage

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

Trump is testing the boundaries of his power right now. His military escalation in Los Angeles is a rehearsal for what MAGA wants to do across the nation. That’s why we need millions of Americans to join us tomorrow for peaceful protests on #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Chris Hayes: “It is going to require this kind of democratic force and mobilization against the Trump administration constantly. Believe me, I know it is exhausting. But there will be a million more small victories along the way.”

Trump’s regime forces, marines in Los Angeles breaking their oaths, have detained their first US civilian identified as Marcos Leao, 27, an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he accidentally crossed a yellow tape boundary. #3E #StopICE

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new CDC advisory committee is proof that America’s anti-vaccine era is truly beginning, @katherinejwu.com writes. https://theatln.tc/hOM6uyum

The first known detention by the US Marines in their recent Los Angeles deployment is of... a US Army veteran on his way to an office at the Department of Veteran Affairs building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Trump regime ICE forces attacked a family by ramming their car with children inside, then shot tear gas at them. They were all US citizens. The regime took the father away claiming he had punched an ICE agent during a protest. #3E #StopICE

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Remains to be seen….if they are torn down or not But someone has plastered “no kings since 1776” on poles along route of tomorrow’s military parade here in DC You can see one here (blue sign)

Trump ICE regime forces are kidnapping former Afghan translators that risked their lives to help the US. The regime in coordination with corrupt judges is entrapping people. When they show up to hearings the corrupt judges dismiss their cases quickly to allow ICE to snatch the victims. #3E #StopICE

We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.

“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.” www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

"'It’s not that I’m altruistic. I want my children and grandchildren to grow up in the kind of country where I grew up. I’m trying to get what I want.'" The public interest and general welfare are *our* interests and welfare.

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

NEW: Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The administration has canceled a deal, signed under President Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon. With @opb.org

“As a veteran my oath was to uphold the constitution,” he said. “That’s what I’m here to do... "If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. You need to come out. A silent voice is just as bad as no voice at all.” www.wave3.com/2025/06/10/t...

Kristi Noem’s DHS is: 1) violating due process 2) disobeying court orders 3) abusing the legal process to trap and deport non-violent, non-criminal immigrants, and 4) now forcibly detaining a sitting U.S Senator for trying to ask a question. She must resign immediately.

"Interest has dramatically picked up in recent days. Sign-ups surpassed 5,000 — the capacity for the plaza where the rally is scheduled — and organizers are working with law enforcement to potentially close roads to ensure the safety of a larger crowd..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
