We have no kings here.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

DOn’t let what’s happening in L.A. discourage your participation. Discouragement is the point of their escalation in L.A. “No Kings” is needed more than ever.

What makes a science superpower? Funding, freedom, and the world’s brightest minds. You can’t lead the world in science while banning immigrants and defunding discovery. The Trump admin is sabatoging the future of U.S. science. zurl.co/7P2av

The US government wants to go to war with California so bad.

“A peaceful protest, and this is what we’re greeted with. Where’s our right to protest?” As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle. Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Lee’s wishes.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Adama says this in Battlestar Galactica: “There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” This is why.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

With the New York Times continuing its attack on trans people, I wrote about its failures and how Azeen Ghorayshi has led the charge to weaponize their coverage against the trans community and launder anti-trans talking points into the mainstream. www.thedissident.news/the-new-york...

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Three down, one to go. With how our lot is graded and the snow switch we get in MN (either a TON or basically none) the past several years, we decided the best course of action three years ago was to swap all non-egress windows to glass block. None have great views, but these are water tight.

Angular roughshark!

Far too many people forget that the point of school sports is not to scout the handful of kids that could go pro, but to teach our kids how to work together and support each other as a team, to win and lose graciously, and to push themselves to improve. Our kids deserve better than these ghouls.

No reputable media is covering this… Over 50 religious leaders are blocking the entrance to the Delaney ICE detention center where the mayor of Newark was arrested. They sang hymns, said prayers, and made it clear they weren't leaving until they got arrested or ICE started answering questions.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

Masked ICE agents arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka while he peacefully protested. If it wasn’t clear before: the Trump regime is run by Nazis, and ICE is the Gestapo.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Second-term Trump messages: "America's over-indulged 11 year old girls own too many pencils." And also: "I'm not sure whether president needs to obey the Constitution."

Today, Sen. Sanders, Rep. Dingell and Rep. Jayapal were joined by over 100 representatives to introduce Medicare for All legislation to Congress. Our broken healthcare system is only getting worse. We need change NOW. Medicare for All is how you fix the damn system.

We added a giant chess/checker board to the basement library today! This big, blank wall has some sound-dampening and extra fun for the kids… and for us. The kit was from Felt Right. #oldhouselove

ACLU — NEW ORLEANS: “ICE deported at least two families, including 2 mothers and their minor children – 3 of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant... 1 child with cancer deported without medication…” www.aclu.org/press-releas...

When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

This is fascism. Lexington, Kentucky- No Kings Then, No Kings Now. April 19th. #NoKings

DAMN RIGHT!

our country is run by immature, vicious bullies

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

“I support Harry Potter the character not J. K. Rowling the author” is the “I bought my Tesla before Elon was a Nazi” bumper sticker of literature

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason
