"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC

Bottle necked marchers on 40th street merging into 5th Ave break out chanting with fervor: fuck Andrew Cuomo

[non-Minnesotans, before you re-post the thing about the splits in the House and Senate: the legislature is not in session (literally just adjourned in the last week) and won't be back in session until next year]

I need more people to see the Boston Pride X No Kings flyers because they’re just fantastic. Shout out to @maindivisible.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social and all the partners making this happen

Thank you @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social! You heard the man ❌👑 Trump and his ilk want you to feel small and alone. Tomorrow, we're doing something really fricken big, and we're doing it together. Join us! www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

So I'm going to be at No Kings Day in NYC. My friend and family member Ben Norris is gonna be in LA. @indivisible.org made sure to organize them all over the country in case *you* are not close to NYC or LA. Please join us! Find your peaceful protest below! #nokingsday

good lord what a riff

TONIGHT: All No Kings Day attendees are invited to our pre-mobilization call, where we’ll discuss recent developments, share tactics to de-escalate conflict, give tips for successful demonstrations and come together in community to get fired up for Saturday. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

more and more people are saying we don’t do kings here ❌👑

for every post you do this week about Optimum Protest Strategy, you’re required to identify another person in your life to bring out to a NO KINGS event on Saturday. Some of you better be bringing a lot of friends. Time to touch democracy grass. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

that’s right ❌👑

real contender for the defining quote of american christianity here

the frequency with which this sort of openly racist and hateful bile comes from GOP electeds is staggering. Most instances go totally unremarked on. In addition to being wildly offensive, it's civically degrading in a way I wish there was more shame about.

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

the timing of musk creating daylight between him and trump is perfectly calibrated so that both the "their alliance will be short lived" and the "musk will run the entire government forever" sides of the January debate can claim victory. Congratulations to everyone for calling it - you got it right.

Elon Musk is one of the worst people on earth. But I know people who unfathomably still like him, so you can bet I'm gonna send them his tweet urging them to call their senators to stop the reconciliation bill. Don't be shy about it. Use every tool in the box to stop the bill.

you don’t get to fill in a square on your Susan Collins bingo card for this one, because “I have concerns” is the freebie in the middle

the vibes of Zohran’s campaign ads are out of control, and I desperately want it to be the case that they’ll work. Cuomo is very bad!

I have deep sympathies for the many students, faculty, and staff who will be harmed by this attack on higher ed. Because of those sympathies, I have even greater disdain for the cowardly university leadership who thought capitulating would save them. Their legacy is shame.

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. can't have too may enemies.

It is by no means an exaggeration to say that many, many people who work in politics don't actually believe in anything but making money in a white collar career of consequence. You can't explain this kind of thing any other way.

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on. But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

Four Democratic members of the SJC - Blumenthal, Hirono, Padilla, and Booker - didn't even bother to show up. Booker! Trump is shoving Emil Bove down Booker's throat, and he can't show up? Is he too busy hawking his new book? What a complete failure to meet the moment.

Rick Steves perhaps one of the least problematic faves in human history

Hawley really thought he was cooking with this, but unfortunately winning debates against even dumber conservatives is not actually good practice for taking on someone like Shaw who actually knows their shit

I am at Bloomington and Lake to understand whats taking place this morning. On scene are DHS, ICE, FBI, Sheriffs, and MPD. No matter the reason, one thing is clear: this display of force is designed to strike fear at the very heart of MPLS. We stand in solidarity against it.

standing outside Fetterman's empty office yelling "SCOREBOARD" like I'm at a high school basketball game www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

they're so mad that people hate their bill

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Hi!! Back for my weekly fundraising ask. Right now, my office will no longer be able to pay staff starting mid-June so anything you can give us to prevent that would be super helpful. If you set up a recurring donation, we’ll send monthly pet photos. 🩵 secure.actblue.com/donate/staffruwa

Literally would rather hang out with nazis who want me dead and are scheming to kill me than people who want my boss to try to exercise power

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

Pretending people are MS13/TDA, shipping them to a gulag without any process, and it’s all part of a cover up of actual MS13 gang members. My god.

“Nine of the wallets…held assets whose names are outright racist or anti-semitic. For example, one token is called ‘FUCK THE JEWS,’ while another is simply the n-word. Four others are variations on the word ‘swastika’”

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is. I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need. We told you this was coming www.advocate.com/politics/ant...

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

republicans are doing the most backroom deal, dead of night, reckless rush job imaginable on this bill. The absolute maniacal desire they have to rip away health care and take food away from kids in order to give their ultra wealthy buddies a fat pay day.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

lmfao

Kyrsten Sinema come get your boys

Shri Thanedar ALLEGEDLY put his campaign account on the blockchain and lost three quarters of a million dollars, it's so cool

Van Hollen has correctly said he regrets voting to confirm Rubio - one of the few Dems to have said this. Moments like this underscore why the vote was so dumb. He’s both carrying out Trump’s unconstitutional agenda, and he will not reciprocate any amount of collegial respect. He’s just bad!

Earnestly, donors need to pay influencers a gazillion dollars to talk about pedocon given that Democratic electeds aren't willing to do it directly themselves for whatever reason.
