👏 "Walmart Heiress Christy Walton runs ad encouraging NO KINGS DAY protests Christy Walton paid for this full page ad in the NYT on Sunday. And as expected, MAGA world is blowing gaskets, calling for boycotts of Walmart nationwide." 📍Daily Kos: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

Can’t help but think this obviously manufactured chaos is all because the orange felon failed with his stupid bill, his tariff trade war, his BS economic plan, the jobs report and of course because he’s in the Epstein files. Trying to distract with a civil war is peak fascism.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Thousands of Chicagoans took to the streets Tuesday night to protest ICE raids and the Trump administration's immigration policies. blockclubchi.co/45N9J5i

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Current and former CDC employees are calling on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign, warning that job cuts and proposed funding reductions will hurt the agency's ability to protect the public from future health outbreaks.

TYSM for including me. 🙏🚀♻️💪🌊👍🌮

The entire Army chain of command should consider resigning for allowing those optics at Ft Bragg. Inexcusable dereliction of duty.

This #billionaire Walmart heir took out a full page ad in support of the No Kings protests planned for this Saturday. from @forbes.com @jemimamcevoy.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/jemima...

Paint is nonviolent protest is it not?

We are not afraid of you, Donald Trump, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear, because that would mean respecting you, and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

Grandpa has good days and bad days but increasingly it's only days like this where he talks about things that didn't happen and can't remember who he's on the phone with. Brains are leaking out his ears.

The U.S. government is spending $134 million dollars to deploy troops in America while veterans sleep on the streets.

Adolf Hitler was a master of manufacturing public-security crises to advance his authoritarian agenda, Timothy Ryback writes:

2024 election results under scrutiny as lawsuit advances claiming test lab Pro V&V secretly altered ES&S voting machines (used in over 40% of U.S. counties) before ballots were cast in the 2024 election. @lulufriesdat.bsky.social apnews.com/press-releas...

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship. Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

I’m not telling anyone how to protest but I am saying the optics of the police and marines being violent against protestors decked out in red white and blue waving American flags would be undeniably bad…

Seems like @TheDemocrats @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats need a bill that is the opposite of Marsha Blackburn’s Secret Police bill — No masks, no hidden identities, no January 6th insurrectionists/white supremacists in ICE… that kind of thing.

I can NOT grasp why media is not SCREAMING About Trump sending US Marines onto the streets of the USA. This is right from the aspiring tyrant playbook. Is it because corporate media executives fear talking about it this way? Do they approve of it? Or do they simply not get how dangerous this is?!

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.
