Seeing footage from these #NoKings rallies is inspiring, and it really underlines the falsehood of the “Red States” vs “Blue States” myth. As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social put it, America is purple - like a bruise

Great Day! 2000+ attended our #NoKings protest against fascist Convict Trump in our little town of deep red Conroe, Texas, north of Houston. Great response from passing cars with cheers, thumbs up, raised fists, and many with their own signs and we cheered back! #ThisIsDemocracy #NoFascistsNoKings

This is hilarious compared to the large #NoKings crowd in a rural #NH town of fewer than 4500.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Authoritarians depend on fear. Democracy depends on each other.

No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

Live look at Detroit, Michigan. Let's go, Motor City! Even Fox's streaming channel is calling the No Kings Day rallies "massive." 🍿

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

NEW: Democracy is alive in Philly! Amazing scenes in Philadelphia as thousands hit the streets for the anti-Trump protest. #NoKings #50501Movement

that's little rock, arkansas showing the hell up #nokings

Remember, in America only the secret police get to wear masks

The suspect remains at large while hundreds of law enforcement officers from multiple agencies conduct an intensive manhunt.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

The Denver “No Kings” demonstration is 95-year-old Dolores Taylor’s first protest. Seeing other people her age at the protest gives her hope, she said. “We’re here, coming out against the Trump administration, because this is not the American way,” she said. 📸@brumerdelilah.bsky.social

Look at downtown LA right now

Downtown Miami now, biggest protest crowd I've seen since 2020 (not including the solidarity protests for Cuba in 2021)

SCOOP: The Trump admin has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling ICE officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, according to an internal email and three officials with knowledge. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

President Trump acknowledged on Thursday that his immigration policies are hurting the farming and hotel industries, making a rare concession that his crackdown is having ripple effects on the American work force.

Big tax cut bills typically don't leave the poor worse off. Bills cutting the safety net don't normally include benefits for the rich. The GOP reconciliation bill is something we haven't really seen before. w/ @aliciaparlap.bsky.social + @sangerkatz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: Mamdani and Lander will cross-endorse. The partnership, which is being announced one day before early voting begins, would effectively turn Mamdani and Lander into something of a joint entry. They hope that one of them will eventually accumulate many of the other’s votes as a result.

Meta unveiled a $14.3 billion investment and partnership on Thursday that will be the core of a new artificial intelligence research lab dedicated to the pursuit of “superintelligence.”

The head of the FEMA’s disaster command center, who coordinates the national response to earthquakes, floods and other disasters, has submitted his resignation, according to people familiar with the matter.

House plan to shift costs of SNAP benefits to states would create $100M hole in Arkansas' budget. Sen. John Boozman's plan reduces it to $60M. But, that $60M still has to come from somewhere. And the pockets of hungry people could be where legislators look. #arpx buff.ly/rGzU6Bm

Board that oversees prestigious Fulbright scholarships resigns en masse in protest of Trump administration's interference; State Dept. functionaries have canceled 200 scholarships awarded after year-long process. Program named in honor of late Arkansas Sen. William Fulbright. #arpx buff.ly/Buh9821

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

Organizers of the Gaza Tribunal, a newly formed people’s justice initiative, hope that this gathering will process the overwhelming evidence from Gaza into a comprehensive historical record that can provide support to other efforts on narrative, political, and legal battlegrounds.

In the six months since declaring his candidacy, Zohran Mamdani has gone from obscure 33-year-old socialist state assemblyman to the biggest story in the battle for City Hall—and a threat to former governor and front-runner Andrew Cuomo.

Seems bad for bases to compile good and bad lists.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration can no longer detain Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil.

When the military are detaining people in order to implement the President’s cruel mass expulsion program, isn’t that military rule?
