No Kings Day: Stand Up Now Or Lose It All I’m protesting Saturday. Because this is it. The line. Not here. Not now. Not ever. Because silence = surrender. Because our kids are watching. So is the world. Because if we don’t show up, who will? See 👇👇👇 open.substack.com/pub/mitchthe...

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

News & Observer has updated their story to confirm thst there will be TWO major protests in Raleigh tomorrow (Sat. June 14). Capital & Capitol! 11AM-2PM 6115 Capital Blvd (US 1) 4PM-6:30PM Capitol Bldg 1 E Edenton St #CapitalAndCapitol www.newsobserver.com/news/local/c...

@ericswalwell.bsky.social urges all Americans to show up for No Kings Day this Saturday. “If we don’t show up, democracy dies” #NoKingsDay

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Sometimes it feels like we're all going to die because people would rather kill us and then themselves than admit they were wrong.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

Same here.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

“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...

Holy fuck www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/l...

‼️There are now 2 No Kings events in Raleigh on Saturday, June 14. No Kings Day - Liberty and Justice for All 11AM-2PM 6115 Capital Blvd (US 1) No Kings Rally at the Capitol 4PM-6:30PM Capitol Bldg 1 E Edenton St Upper 80s, maybe rain. Don’t care, will be there. www.wakedems.org/wcdp-event/n...

Active duty military to the streets of an American city A military parade to celebrate the President’s birthday An emerging police state with secret police who cover their faces & disappear U.S. residents *Our democracy is in a red zone. We must mobilize to stop this.

I remember when Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrated Germany National Day back in 1944. /s

If protesters really want to deface public property they’ll glue spray painted gold rococo shit all over it.

To those sworn to defend the Constitution - military personnel, intelligence officers, law enforcement, government officials, and policymakers: There is no room for hesitation. (1/12)

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

This is a well-written clinical perspective. www.statnews.com/2025/06/11/r...

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.

I feel protected.

Don't judge a book by its cover

Signs of the times: ICE Out! rally, Raleigh 6/11/25

Can we please ban us from the G7?

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

Ignore the bot accounts so much propaganda is being spread. Watch for the signs: no photos, no friends, account created last week. They’re everywhere, and we’re clearing out thousands every day.

It can happen here. It is happening here.

They are trying to intimidate us. Don’t let them. It’ll be even harder to resist later if we cede ground now. Every person, if able, needs to be out there marching this Saturday. None of us can afford to coast on the work of others. Citizenship now requires more than voting. Let’s do this, together.

Not sure why I’m posting this. Perhaps it’s relevant 🤔

Having an excruciating amount of empathy and being a parent is an interesting combo.

BREAKING: This ain’t a protest. This is a reckoning. Raleigh, NC is flooding the streets with one message: ICE is a violent gang. Trump is a fascist thug. And if you stand with either—you’re a fucking enemy.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters fill the streets of Raleigh, North Carolina for a protest against Donald Trump and ICE (Video: James DeAlto)

Stephen Miller and U.S. Homeland Security amplify an image from white Christian nationalist CJay Engel -- who has been the subject of my investigations since he and his allies began their move into Jackson County, TN. 1/x

Are you in the Marines and being asked to do something you think is wrong? Are you being asked to violate the Constitution? You have rights. There is support: 1-877-447-4487 girightshotline.org

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

When faced with possibility of tear gas, you should NOT sit. Tear gas is heavier than air. It will settle on the ground. Seek higher ground. Do NOT pick up canisters with your bare hands. Kick them away or cover them with a traffic cone(or something similar), then douse with water #UnitedWeStand 💙🇺🇸

Deploying CA National Guard to LA protests without the Governor's request is an abuse of power and attack on our constitutional rights. So is threatening to send US Marines against civilians. We condemn this order from the Trump Administration and demand it be rescinded immediately. #50501vets
