Lots of folks came out to say no to fascism and honor Melissa Hortman and Sen Hoffman.

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

Just passed a woman holding a sign saying “this is my resting bitch face” assuming a picture of Trump on other side lol

Pathetic. Of course they would show up at a rally in one of the blackest cities in the US. A dozen Proud Boys and 5,000 protestors are numbers that I like though.

Happy we chased off the maga bar folks from the area. Hoping they leave the local No Kings protesters alone. There are a lot of Trumpy losers where I live. I didn’t think to check before I moved here 20+ years ago 🤡

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social would you say this about any other minority group?

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

trump remembering he runs a number of hotels and restaurants - oh SHIT

Shabbat Shalom, loves. I am gonna spend some time doing special prayers for Shabbat tonight. Let me kbow if you or someone you know wants to be included.

So was Israel starting a war necessary? No But did they limit themselves to military targets? Also no But did they at least accomplish the stated goal of destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program? Uhm still no, actually www.timesofisrael.com/damage-to-ir...

U.S. REP. LAUREN BOEBERT (R-CO): "What we're seeing in L.A. is an insurrection." J.B. PRITZKER (D): "That is an insurrection? You don’t know understand what insurrection is when you're trying to overturn an election here at the Congress ..."

If one person claims it's raining and another insists it's sunny, the media's job isn't to give them equal airtime-it's to check the facts and report the truth.

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.

@sulliview.bsky.social: "In the end, it’s up to the American people. Do enough of them care enough about democracy, decency and the rule of law to leave their easy chairs, barbecues and sports-gambling apps to get out in the streets and make their voices heard?" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pretty rough when there aren’t really any good guys to root for

My face had turned itself fully inside out by the time I reached the last word of this sentence.

the constitution is just a piece of paper it seems

What more could Trump do to avert a war than send his real estate developer friend with no diplomatic experience?

Trying to focus on important things like why can’t I romance Bao Dur in KOTOR2

NEW: AOC is holding a rally with mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani tomorrow. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

anyone who can't see that Sabrina Carpenter is simply continuing Dolly Parton's campy sexuality (i.e. doing God's work) doesn't deserve to have pop culture opinions send tweet

Impossible not to contrast his apprehensiveness wrt our domestic crises & his show of force here. He's been repeatedly presented with the option of fighting for Americans or supporting foreign rogue state & chose the latter. Hard not to see it as he & others have effectively turned their backs on us

Protestors aren’t the ones who need to be advised on being peaceful.

Just a reminder that we put that terrible Iranian government in place

Iran's leadership is terrible but that doesn't excuse Israel being belligerent and unilaterally striking Iran before a planned talk to negotiate with the U.S. Netanyahu has been itching for a war for nearly 25 years. Also, doesnt Iran or any country have a right to respond to a strike?

Please don’t RSVP to a protest

This is awful.

I think we've found the most compelling argument yet for voting for Zohran Mamdani news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

The best part about this is the fact that it’s in Kalama, WA, to me

No it's not.

my first solo academic article has been published (it’s open access)! eek! thanks @yesthattoo.bsky.social and @tuttleturtle.bsky.social for co-creating the definition of expensive speech - now it’s officially in the formal literature! :) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Watching TikTok witches do their thing with the winds from the east bit from Mary Poppins in the background warms my heart

The Grammys are so fucking cringe with their continual racist bullshit. White supremacy hurts everybody even though most white people won’t admit it due to the material benefits

Also, I don't want to hear a peep from any country fans about how country isn't racist after the Grammys split the category to "traditional" and "contemporary." It's giving Daughters of the American Revolution and you damn sure know that two different standards will be applied based on Whiteness.

STFU Friday is every day, as soon as you've said these 29 words, as necessary: -Why'd you pull me over? -I'm not discussing my day. -Am I being detained or am I free to go? -I invoke the Fifth -I WANT MY LAWYER Why is "I WANT MY LAWYER" is so important? ⬇️

the military has boots on the ground to defend the westwood federal building from, presumably, united states senators

this shit is all elaborate fan fiction, every actual thing that underpins American dominance in science and tech is having a fucking sledgehammer taken to it because the groyphers in charge think expertise is woke and gay, and more actual news outlets (so not TFP) should point that out.

Newsom spent more time whining about trans people on his podcast with Dr Phil than calling out his fascist ideology. Not to mention, just a few months ago Newsom was speaking out against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He's Republican in all but name.
