This is what democracy looks like. Hawthorne Bridge, Portland OR. #NoKings

#NoKings New York

There's seriously no way he won 7 swing states...

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

This priest is not afraid of Trump. I like that about him.

You also get a dog smile today

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

It is official! Despite tanks and planes, Trump’s parade was “listless and low-energy.”

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

“He tried to kill his own Vice President. Do you think he cares about you?” -Barack Obama

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

The amount of rage within me right now is unlike anything I’ve ever felt.

One of my favorite signs of the day.

It's time for Trump, who's openly called for Civil War, encourages MAGAts to shoot people he doesn't like, has embraced violence as a means to an end & is hell bent on destroying democracy to be declared a domestic terrorist. #ProudBlue #NoKingsDay #NoKingsProtest #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Happy No Kings Day!

Happy No Kings Day to all of us who celebrate.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Shapiro: " If the Guard is going to be federalized. we have a legal process in place where POTUS has to consult with the Commander in Chief of the Guard — the governor — and seek his or her approval first. POTUS did not do that [in CA]. He went around the governor and created some real dangers."

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Get real and get over it.

NEW: A federal judge in a hearing Thursday appeared deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal defense of President Donald Trump federalizing the California National Guard in response to largely peaceful protests in Los Angeles. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The serious question for global business is the reality of having to leave America behind. For years America was a global powerhouse. It has declined into an unstable entity with far too many unstable citizens.

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Yeah. Scam is his jam. The felon is PAYING people to attend his own birthday party. The felon was booed like the villain he is at 'Les Misérables', and entirely misses the point of what it’s about. He should be embarrassed, but psycho’s are missing that gene. #Voice4Victory #DemVoice1

Marco Rubio is the weakest and most subservient Secretary of State ever. What a pathetic Russian lapdog — kissing Putin’s feet on a daily basis! Rubio is certainly NOT speaking on behalf of me!!! 😡
