LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation. Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant. This is a police state.

Remember, we *had* a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue, thanks to the JCPOA that Obama put in place after years of hard work, but then President Spiteful Shithead withdrew the U.S. from the pact in 2018 and everything fell apart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Via Sam Stein on twitter

"Have we no shame?" Glad to hear of this ruling, but man, I don't know where this judge has been, but we are waaaaayyyy beyond the "have we no shame" part of this whole thing.

Daniel Biss is Evanston’s mayor and ostensibly controls the cops there. He’s now running for the IL-09 congressional seat. You’d think Democratic mayors wouldn’t let their cops do things like this, @katmabu.bsky.social

Hey @danielbiss.bsky.social any comment on your police force violating state law by providing data to persecute migrants and abortion seekers?

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

I'm glad New York Magazine is bluntly stating that Israel has "likely committed hundreds, if not thousands, of war crimes in Gaza." But I wish our leaders had been listening to the college students, scholars, even their own colleagues (Cori Bush) who have been saying that for more than a year.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

NYT ed board: don't rank the progressive, the sexual harasser we called on to resign from the governor's office would be better, but also don't not rank the top candidates. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

Just a reminder as Netanyahu bombs Tehran to the Stone Age, that most of "western civilization" (including writing, higher math, brass, wheat) actually came to us from North Africa via Persia

In the old (normal?) days, you'd be impeached for much less.

Anyone still on Twitter wanna let Mike Lee and Bernie Moreno know? Anyone at the NYT wanna write the story about senators straight up lying to their constituents?

Did Carville or Yglesias write this?

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in

This is what happens when you coddle manbabies and don't hold them accountable for their lies; it's clearly very bad for their character development. p.s. Fun to see Grok spank Elon. But.

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

Brennan is just wrong here. Lazy journalism based on assumptions, old data, and misinformation. Shows you how much damage certain high-profile pundits can do to the information environment. It’s very easy to just look at all the data, like we do: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...

things are indeed getting worse. but we are going to win.

TFW no one showed up to your book talk.

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

🚨⚡They are playing "Fortunate Son," a song that highlights how some ppl w/ connections or wealth, could avoid serving in the military, while others w/o $$/status were drafted. A powerful anti-war anthem bc it resonated with ppl who felt Vietnam's burden was unfairly distributed. #bonespurs #nokings

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

No Kings Chicago Style. We like Democracy Neat - no ICE

CNN Update: Vance Boelter had survival gear vehicle, prob wore latex mask during shootings. FBI has promised all its resources. (?) Boelter was Evangelical, anti-gay, anti-abortion security guard with access to police-type car & uniform. Hit-list of abortion providers. Minnesota Assassination

#VanceBoelter. The Minnesota shooter went to a catholic university and was white, Christian Nationalist and identified Republican as of 2022.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Small group of later-teen folks walking by protesters and one asks “what’s fascism?” Another googles it and answers. This is in Beverly Hills. Small win I guess…

West Hollywood, LA

Normalize it.

Now: Daley Plaza in Chicago is already full, spilling into the streets surrounding it for today's #NoKings rally in Chicago. This will be my thread for that. Fyi: With so many people down here, service may be spotty so uploading photos/video may not work and I may end up resorting to text.

Bit of a crowd. Haven't seen a crowd this large since I have lived here.

Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

It comes amid protests in Los Angeles after Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the city.

I thought the #nokings protest in Tucker would be low key relative to Liberty Plaza. No so much. The parking lot is full. Thousands of people are here.
